Yeah... okay, time to do a bit of moderating...

1. Wrong thread for this discussion.

2. You're all about four years late.

3. No matter what anyone says, the twelfth movie will come out and will make millions. No point tearing you hair out over it.

Now, can we call it settled? I understand everyone has their opinions, but I believe we've all heard this before, and when you get two opposite opinions butting heads, nothing happens. Except for some hot air getting everyone steamed.

Aye aye

On the subject of Star Wars, there was a rumor that Zack Snyder was going to be making a Star Wars side-story kind of in the vein of The Seven Samurai, but Snyder shot that down fast.

Oh boy.

First he said ABSOLUTELY NO!!!

Then he said YES!!!

Did someone offer him more money? While I don't mind the "JJ reboot" of Trek as much as most others, i'm not a fan of him rebooting Star Wars ALSO. And the potential for those god-forsaken lens flares everywhere...

It hasn't been confirmed by Abrams or by Disney. I treat this as a rumor.

086gf · « **Reply #86 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:29:52 PM »

Yeah, this is fake he is still saying no.

EDIT: Also since Star Wars:Underworld and Level 1313 share the exact same specifics I guess its fair to say that that is what happened to it. Though the possibility seems to still be there for a live action series. It is Disney afterall.

it is confirmed...
No Sith! JJ Abrams to direct new 'Star Wars' sequel

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #88 on:** January 25, 2013, 06:01:56 PM »

That's not a confirmation. It's not a press release from Disney/Lucas OR from Abrams. Until then, I'm still taking this with a grain of salt.

However, I will say this. Abrams being in charge of both could be the best thing ever, especially given Abrams' penchant for "real, real, real" in his movies. Might see fewer CGI aliens this time around. Give the makeup department something to do.

how about this one then?

That's official enough for me. Here's hoping that JJ will take some of the lessons learned from Trek into Wars. Characters and story should matter more than special effects. And at the very least, Paramount IS holding him to Trek XIII, at least as a producer.

I find it both exciting and frightening to think that one man could be responsible for reinvigorating two of the biggest science fiction franchises of all time. I just hope JJ hasn't bitten off more than he can chew.

I totally understand the dislike of the overuse of lens-flares in Star Trek, but some kind of big flare when a lightsaber activates seems cool in my imagination.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #92 on:** January 26, 2013, 10:49:56 AM »

Well JJ is a self admitted SW fan, hes more a SW fan then a ST fan.

Joshmaul · « **Reply #93 on:** January 27, 2013, 10:38:35 PM »

Somebody said that they hoped JJ would leave Trek alone after "Into Darkness" and that somebody who actually loves Trek would helm any future movies. I told him, "the people who love Trek are the ones doing the fan films". Only trouble is, fan stuff can't be canon. More's the pity.

Um...that's the most retarded statement ever considering that both Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are self affirmed Trekkies and they WRITE THE DAMN THINGS. And if anything, doing the first movie has made JJ a Trek fan. I can't say for the other guys in the "Supreme Court" but I think there's plenty of love for Trek in there.

And frankly, fan films aren't always that good. And the ones that are, are few and far between.

And finally, I think this can only be a good thing. Bring the franchises together, as it were. More so than before, at any rate.

More big news!

Every important original trilogy character(minus R2, 3PO, Luke, Leia, Kenobi and Vadar for obvious reasons) just might be getting their own origins type movies. Yoda seems to be the first on the list with a Boba Fett movie all but certain aswell as ofcourse Han Solo. Those are the big three going around right now but again everyones on the table. Lucasfilm and Disney apparently want these standalone movies to be released in the same year as each of the sequal trilogy movies.

Joshmaul · « **Reply #96 on:** February 15, 2013, 02:40:18 PM »

Uh....Vader is getting an origin movie? He already HAD an origin movie. Three, in fact.

...except they made Star Wars' ultimate badass originate from a whiny bitch, so maybe this is a retcon, God willing?

*squint* Hmm. Dunno how I missed that. Maybe I need to see an eye doc?

Anywho...I know the books and what not have given hints on origin stories, but I would definately like to see it played out. Yoda, Boba and Han are definately a good start - question is, will they be TV, straight-to-DVD/BlueRay/etc...? Or are they gonna do like the X-Men origin stories and make 'em theatrical releases, separate from the "main canon" but still part of the series?

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #99 on:** February 16, 2013, 11:39:34 PM »

I think its very likely the movies will ignore parts if not all of the EU.
