    The thing is, J.J. has lied before. He said Cumberbatch wasn't Khan in STID and we know how that turned out. Plus, the update here says he was not meant to be taken literally about Rey's parents. http://www.superherohype.com/news/371453-reys-parents#/slide/1

    Even though I didn't like Episode VII, I'm still looking forward to VIII.

    When Palpatine spoke to Vader in Empire, his Hologram was huge. I thought it was a power thing to show that Vader was subservient to him, Snoke is doing the same thing. How does Tarkin survive? He didn't seem to have enough time to escape before the explosion.

    What's sad is that I can see people actually doing that :(

    Those Fans need to let it go, I think Colin is a good choice to direct a SW movie. It's the script and story that's important.

    He makes a lot of good points in that video. I think there's a difference between following a formula in a film series and following so closely that it feels like a remake. I've talked with friends about what bothered me about TFA and they've mentioned similar things as in the video. I'm willing...

    I think Luke is her Father, the filmmakers have been paralleling the OT. Both spent a large portion of their lives on a Desert planet, cut off from the rest of the Galaxy, and both discovered the Force over the course of the first film in their respective trilogies. I can't see Luke not having a...

    George was just never good with directing Actors and he was a better Director when he was younger. I agree he is a better storyteller over all. I'm very thankful for the movies and characters that he gave us. Ford is very good and funny in TFA but his best Han Solo performance is in Empire. I...

    I've only seen Johnson's Looper but didn't care for it. I'm not going to let that affect my viewing Episode VIII, I'm going to judge it on it's own merit. Also, I've only seen Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World, which I loved and it didn't feel like a remake of Jurassic Park but had nods and...

    To me, I felt like I was watching ANH again. Jedi's biggest similarity to ANH was the Death Star but at least the Rebels blew it up differently, the Tattooine portion of the film was completely different. That's a good way of describing ST:ID, a cross between Space Seed and TWOK. It may be an...

    JJ has been getting ragged on by people since the first Star Trek movie. I do think he's a talented Director, Lost has one of the best Pilots I've ever seen, but most of his recent work seems to be just rehashes of other movies. Lucas, on the other hand, hadn't directed a movie in 20 years...

    I can agree to that. I liked Rey, she is the most interesting of the new characters. There is speculation that she .

    I think J.J. is a talented director, I just wish he'd stop remaking other previously seen stories in his movies. Into Darkness would have been a better movie had Cumberbatch not been Khan and not been an almost carbon Copy of WOK, same with what he did with ANH and TFA.

    I was hoping that is was going to be as good as ROTS or better, I never expected it to be as good as the OT or have the same impact that those movies had on me when I was 9, 12, and 15.. It wasn't until I saw the trailers, which are still good, that I started to get excited for the movie. The...

    I still hate how this movie mirrors ANH and it's not just on a superficial level. Beat for beat, it's the same movie but not as good. I knew there was going to be some nods to the original but wasn't expecting it to be like this. The SW Universe has so much potential for new and exciting...

    I'm expecting Luke to say "No, I am your father" to Rey in Episode VIII.

    I can't tell you what type of sound system my theatre used but I saw this at a Cinemark Theatre and it was a regular screening. I noticed that the dialogue tract was softer and harder to hear than the music and sound effects.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Sure the Star Wars films repeated motifs but this was a very poor copy of ANH that lacked the heart and spirit of adventure that the original had. At least the Prequels had their own "identity". Very little of the dialogue was memorable. Aside from Rey, Finn, BB8 and partly Poe and Kylo, none...
