Disney Buys LucasFilm, Star Wars Episode 7 in 2015

The internet would melt down with joy if it were only the prequels that were being rebooted.

People would primarily flip out if they touched ESB.

Just when I thought I was out..

I hate the way that guy broke up the VII.

All I ask is that they film on location.

I dislike the zero in 2015, actually. Which is a weird thing to get uptight about, but typography nerd so what can you do?

Now the question is... Will time travel be somehow involved in the plot?

Fringe, Lost, Alias, Star Trek and even

Spoiler:

Felicity

all had time travel in them.

Darth Vader: Luke.... You are my father!

Luke Skywalker: No.. It can't be... NOOooooo!

That's impossible!

Needs more lens flare.

So I ended up watching Mission Impossible III the other day thanks to the Netflix thread—somebody said that it was worth re-watching before diving into Ghost Protocol. Anyway, what with all the lens flare in Star Trek and Abrams' involvement with Star Wars I paid extra attention to the lighting.

There were a lot of light sources on-screen in MI3. There weren't a lot of lens flares. There was a little bit of glare around the lights, but it didn't get in the way of what was on-screen. Mostly it served to add some nice bits of color, and kept it from being a generic teal-and-orange mess. There was also a lot of interesting use of colored light illuminating the sets and actors.

You know what Star Wars has lots of? Interesting colored light sources. If blaster bolts and light saber blades pop like the city lights and background fixtures did in MI3 then I think it could look awesome, especially if they also shine their colors out into the world.

So now they've announced 2 spin-off Star Wars movies that are going to be released in addition to the new trilogy they're planning. Rumor has it that one movie will focus on a young Han Solo while the other focuses on Boba Fett.

If they don't base the young Han Solo stuff off of the Han Solo trilogy of books, I will be sad.

Those shivers are because John Williams is a frelling genius.

I'm less than impressed with that trailer - when the two pieces of the logo changed scale, they didn't change at the same rate and that break in the line around the numbers where the edges of Star Wars used to be was highly annoying to me. Having a fine break there as a visual separation is good; having it not move with the letters and fill in the line around the numbers behind itself as it shifted is a newb's mistake. This isn't a fan-film for crying out loud.

That, and there was absolutely nothing in it about the actual film at all.

To be fair, it was also a fan-trailer

Oh. I didn't realize that. Well then somewhat scratch the bit about the letters, and double-down on the John Williams comment.

In point of fact, if there is no John Williams, I will not buy a movie ticket.

Careful what you say... I assume that no matter what happens we will all buy tickets. Because we are sheeple...

That way leads to suffering...

As long as there's no Shia The Beef in ANY of this... I'll be fine with it.

You didn't hear that they are casting him as the young Han Solo?

You take that back! LALALALALALALALA

Guys, if you mention him 3 times, he's summoned to your favorite movie that's coming out soon. So stop it.

Really?

I mean, really?

Do you guys actually love Star Wars that much? Because I kind of want to groan. They haven't even made a new movie yet and I'm already sick of the universe.

This really makes me wonder... who WOULD be a good choice to play a young Han Solo? Obviously not Shi... that guy I mentioned before, but.... who? Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Maybe. David Henrie (of the sometimes tolerable Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place (what can I say? Sometimes there's not much to watch late at night...)). Probably not. Channing Tatum? Too old, too squinty. Tom Hardy? He's got the swagger I guess, but again, too old I think... Ryan Gosling could be a good fit, maybe, but he's a little too old as well. I can't even think of anyone else really, unless you dip into the dregs listed here.

EDIT: OH WAIT, I KNOW WHO - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1535523/

Zach Efron is actually a fairly good actor. If you could get Troy Bolton out of your head, I could see a young Solo with the right direction.

Just CGI up a young Harrison Ford.

Would be a better use of CGI than any of the Special Edition stuff.
