Star Wars: Episode VII cast revealed

[Deleted]

Wonder if Mara Jade is in the movie, and if so, who would be playing her; would it be an old Mara Jade or perhaps some memory/flashback to a younger one?

Guys make sure next you get into a fight of some sort you spout philosophical shit to your opponent and see if he's interested in having a deep discussion while trying to kick your ass.

I mean really ringpriest? Fucking really, you're looking for every little reason to just hate them. It burns my eyes reading your posts, then again your NSA stuff burns my eyes too. Sorry it wasn't an emotional journey for you but god dammit THE PREQUELS WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE EXACTLY LIKE THE MOTHERFUCKING ORIGINAL TRILOGY!!! IF I HEAR ONE MORE MOTHERFUCKING COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PREQUELS BEING TO CGI-LIKE AND NOT ENOUGH PUPPETRY THEN I WILL FUCKING GO RAMBO ON YOU!!!

Really you're also pissed off at Yoda and Palpatine not talking during their confrontation? It was business for both of them, not a FUCKING SUNDAY MORNING WALK DOWN TO THE DINER!!! Honestly if it bothers you that they actually make the fights a bit more eye candy then really please... There's the fucking door.

Also, ringpriest if I were a chick and went on a date with you to the movies I'd know that I would be leaving not even a third through the movie while you point out everything wrong with it because it's not like Star Wars Episodes 4-6. You could be watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 and say it's shit because there is no direct conversation with the girls and whatever they're fighting. You'd then say, "have you ever seen Empire Strikes Back?" "In that movie Luke always talks to his dad while his dad is trying to brutally murder him, that's a good story, did I mention every swing has emotion because it's literally like watching a drunk guy swing a stick? genius".

I'd change my number too.

Just grow your hair out a little longer first and good to go.

Don't forget that Laurence Kasdan there too. He's the one who did The Empire Strikes Back, probably the best movie in the original trilogy, and maybe even the whole franchise.

If it's the best movie in the original trilogy then it's a given it's the best in the franchise

[ringpriest]

ring, the problem with your Ep 3 evaluation is that Jedi are to have suppressed all that emotion. Obi-wan showing anger/sorrow/etc would be a failure in his years of study and discipline. Anakin, however, if free to be angry as he is turned to the dark side. Pretty simple by the context of Jedi/Sith teachings. One tries to eliminate all passion, the other embraces it.

The classic trilogy is space opera in a different time. The prequels were eye candy and an example of visual stimuli being a priority.

You're right about the emotional suppression thing, and I hadn't given it much thought. Perhaps a fight where Anakin/Vader is in a full-on rage. (Is sulky sullenness a 'Sith' emotion? ) Personally I still like the idea that he might have tried to get his friend and teacher to see that he was as right as he believed himself to be. Redemption for fallen Jedi seems to be a pretty big thing in both the EU and the Original Trilogy, I can't help thinking Obi-Wan might have tried for it a little harder...

Jaina Solo is a newcomer. I don't understand why they're using fresh actors in AAA movies.

If that was not the point then why did you say <x> VS <y>. Quite obvious that you are comparing the two.

I really dislike explaining things multiple times. Read the post again.

Then I think sadly you'll never be convinced. You saw what you wanted to see.

No I saw what everyone else saw. You say this like I went in with some kind of preconceived notion. It's just that ultimately what I did see, was disappointing to say the least.

"Full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing."

I don't really care to be convinced either. Nor do I intend to convince you. You like it, bully for you. I didn't, why does it matter?

Because it usually turns out amazing.

Jaina Solo is a newcomer. I don't understand why they're using fresh actors in AAA movies.

if those actors have talent than it usually is a good call to bring in fresh "no-name" actors. You see the characters on screen as their characters rather than as their actors. A lot of times I watch movies with people like Samuel L Jackson and I seem them and not the character. They get to be overexposed for their own good.

What if Fisher, Ford, and Hamill get the Jeff Bridges treatment à la Tron.

Can't see any reason why, the story is set 30 years later. Their appearances today would exactly fit that timeline. Considering it was 31 years ago since ROTJ

Could be because 9 times out of 10 it's the use of fresh actors that actually makes a AAA movie.

Not to mention, every actor was a Fresh Actor at some point!

Think of all the "first timers" that were fuckin' epic.

Alan Rickman in Die Hard
Hailee Steinfeld in True Grit (Oscar nom.)
Ed Norton in Primal Fear (Oscar nom.)
Natalie Portman in Leon
Anna Paquin in The Piano (won Oscar)
Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins (won Oscar)

K, you guys must not know a lot of good known actors then.

[Tradewind]

Know who else was a relatively unknown actress and got her start in a Star Wars movie?

Carrie Fisher

naw "fresh actors is bad!"

[Kelimbror]

K, you guys must not know a lot of good known actors then.

They tried to get the whole cast of Twilight to be the young actors in this movie for you, but they were booked. Sorry to disappoint.
