[NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

For me, seeing Star Wars in the theatre as a child was life altering. It was incredible. My childhood from that point onwasStar Wars. That being said, it was eclipsed when I saw Empire...I mean, Empire, for me, is THE greatest movie followup of all time. Nothing has come close to topping it. For sure it will be extremely hard if not impossible for JJ to wow the first generation Star Wars fans. Movie making has changed.

i have not been wowed since the Matrix. i think i was giddy over the LOTR trilogy and some Pixar films. but nothing as big as The Matrix

I still have the Star Wars wall hanging I made in 6th grade art class. Although I am not one of those avid collectors, Star Wars was a major life altering event for me at 11.

My little town in Wisconsin oddly got this movie in May of 1977 because at the time of it's release it wasn't expected to be a big hit. They kept Star Wars running in that theater for almost a year. I think I saw Star Wars around seven times that year in both the theater and drive-in.

I saw it for the first time at a drive-in when I was 8 years old. It's the only movie I have specific memories of having seen at a drive-in despite the fact that the shit town I grew up in had more drive-ins than indoor theaters back then. It had been my dad's idea to take our family to see it and I had no real clue ahead of time what the movie was really supposed to be about beyond just being a "space" movie. Mind fucking blown would be understating my reaction.

Ok, how do you delete an attached image so I can remove the giant lopsided pic I just posted?

I took care of it for you.

Ty very much.

Also if you look at the pic I posted, in the bottom left corner you'll see a Star Wars poster. That's also a framed 1977 Hildebrandt Star Wars poster. It's got some pin holes in it but for the most part, in good shape.

My parents took me to see it when I was a toddler. Apparently when Darth Vader made his first appearance I stood up on my chair and shouted, "BATMAN!" and half the audience chuckled.

I also used to watch a lot of Batman.

Or maybe I was older than a toddler. I dunno, I was a little kid. Little enough for some annoying shit like that to actually be cute.

I stayed at Qasr Al Sarab back in January. The staff told us that the location had been scouted a few weeks earlier for episode 7. Beautiful place. Endless rolling dunes in the middle of nowhere.

Too much brown. Film is going to suck.

It's going to suck for sure, but not because of brown; because of JJ.

He is going to improve on the original just like he did with Star Trek and blow you away, Dumar.

I still trust in JJ to make it right. He may not be the kind of nerd that Jackson was with LOTR, but he is nerd enough to not fuck this up. I can't wait to be blinded by the lens flare.

Couldn't agree more. Just imagine Star Wars with time travel and lightsabers with lensflare!

JJ blows donkey dick, but i don't think anyone could actually make these movies well. the originals were true masterpieces, the prequels and these are just cash grabs. if they raised stanley kubrick from the dead and had him make these sequels, they would still suck.

Stanley Kubrick's Star Wars would be so meta.

Star Wars isn't even that good a series, it's just a fun adventure that we all share many fond childhood nerd memories about.

Yeah pretty spot on, another reason they're looked back on with such fondness is how groundbreaking the special effects were.

What the fuck are you talking about? I can watch all three of the original Star Wars movies today and enjoy them. As can little kids that have been raised on terrible CGI fuckfests.

i totally agree. to say that the only reason people enjoy the original 3 movies is nostalgia is just retarded. they are awesome movies. ROTJ may be the worst of the three, but it's still a million times better than any of the prequels or any of the three that are going to come out next.
