Just how bad is this going to be?

The Star Wars Universe was one of the greatest universes ever constructed.
Then they threw it all away just to "reboot."
No. Just...no.

I couldn't be less interested. And I know I am in the minority re; veneration for the Star Wars universe. I liked it as a kid. Loved it, in fact. But I just don't think those films hold up. Empire Strikes Back is a decent stand-alone story. But it is sandwiched between two pieces of sh*t. The acting across all three of the first films sucks, starting with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. The three follow-up films were absolute dreck. They couldn't have been worse.
There are many examples of old films that are timeless. In my opinion, the Star Wars franchise is not among them.

Dude, Carrie Fisher was a real hottie back then.

OK, now post a recent pick...
And to be fair, post a pick of old man Han falling off the MF and breaking his leg. ::hysterical::

I'm still in shape.
Wait, potato is a shape, right? ;D

Round is a shape, too.
At 24, I weighed 160; now, one of my legs weighs 160

At 24, I weighed 220 and was in great shape. At 57 I weigh 210 and have sticks for arms and legs. Plus look like 10 miles of bad road.

The Seven year old in me takes great offense. The ten year old less so.(I remembering arguing that Darth Vader was lying about being Luke's father, because - ya that guy is evil..) The thirteen year old was annoyed that they put teddy bears in a movie so they could sell them as toys, and we are not even going to talk about episode 1. It never happened. Just like I tell my kids aliens ended with the second movie, highlander never had a sequel and Indiana Jones ends with movie three.
I loved Star Wars, bad acting and all. Still do. (play the old vector arcade game and yes, and I SWEAR it was programmed to give you the force in certain games and you can do no wrong) Because it was the myth they were telling that mattered, not really how well it was told. And now then , well, homer it won't be.
Star Wars is still a guilty pleasure for me, but as for the rest-- I prefer the Robot Chicken Star wars episodes to the real thing. (and those are hilarious)
Matter of fact, this pretty much sums up my opinion of the Star Wars Saga as it evolved
Robot Chicken - Star Wars - No Luke, I am your father. That's impossible. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgbkN9vb__8#)

It looks as pointless as I feared.
-
I'm a huge and unapologetic Star Wars nerd, so I can't not be excited about it.
-
I'll watch it when it comes around on DVD, etc ,unless my kids want go go, only because I like seeing the whole story vis a vis sequels, prequels, etc.
Agree the "first" 3 Star Wars episodes were horrible, but I just had to look!
But I never regretted seeing them like I did for Godfather 3. More disappointing than Jaws or Rocky sequels because I thought Godfather 1 & 2 were so incredibly well done, from story to score to acting.

WTF is that? It looks like a fruity soccer ball with a bobbleheads running atop of it! ::laughonfloor::
And the black stormtrooper sure is getting a lot of attention...seriously, they throw the whole Fett story under the bus? How they explain this one? Mixed in some chocalate into the Fett DNA matrix?
::hysterical::
-
I think the idea was that the Fett clones were discontinued after the rise of the Empire, and the stormtrooper ranks were filled with ordinary recruits. I wonder if they're even still the same stormtroopers by the time of this film. The Empire probably splintered into various factions which continued to use the same equipment, so maybe even the good guys wear stormtrooper armor now.

SJW's got a hold of this one, eh?
This thing is getting all sorts of unflattering attention. Naturally, nothing controversial is shown in the trailers being released...

The first book in the "reimagined universe" was all gay and no plot. I don't expect much better from the movie.

OK, not really surprised...after decades of pc/diversity/multi-culti BS, eco-nazi BS, and sundry pogroms by progtard bullies it is expected that the youth of America is going to get progressively dumber, and since 2001 that seems to have picked up steam with the advent of this fantasy!
But seriously, if I ran into somebody who said the belonged to this I would laugh in their face.
-
I saw a trailer for the new flick yesterday......It featured Harrison Ford and Chewy...and it appeared he attempted to climb or jump or something. It was awkward, like it was a 73 year old. He needs a stunt double, for the entire movie.
I will watch it, brother in law will take me in tow. I'm not expecting much.
