That was a bar in AOTC? It looked like an intergalactic Buffalo Wild Wings. One was in more danger of getting hot sauce on your clothes than being shot by a third rate bounty hunter. ;)
Where were you in '77?

So obviously there was a diner (which I guess is the one you're referring to) AND a bar (death sticks...) in AOTC.
That bar was kinda BWW-esque, come to think of it.
I thought the graphic of the Bith (a species renown for being musicians) and the other alien was a reference to the Cafe 80s in Back to the Future Part 2 (Michael Jackson and Ronald Gunray etc).
So maybe it was a nostalgia bar for an even earlier time or maybe not.

I'd be happy if he didn't do any homages at all. We had enough of that in the prequels, like Anakin and Obi-Wan walking into that bar on Coruscant.
The only connective tissue I really care about is the style of the filmmaking itself. We already know this will be shot in the same format as the OT, but I hope Abrams and Mindel are able to make it fit with the overall aesthetic established in those movies.
My thoughts exactly. Make a film that takes us on an adventure, not one that panders to pop culture references or winks at the audience. Lucas spent four films revisiting Star Wars77. That's four films too many.

They don't play the techno version of The Muffin Man at BW3's. ;-)

They had Nuna Ball and Podracing playing on screens in the back, I'm pretty sure it was a sports bar.

So do you think the Bith etc were famous in universe sport presenters?
Or the quirky proprietors.

Carrie does indeed look like shit!!!
Not sure if serious.
He can't be, she looks exactly like Carrie Fisher nearly four decades after 1977.
Harrison looks older, Mark looks older, Billy Dee looks older, the characters in the films are older.
No worries.
^Truth.
I was serious. Her face has changed so much due to surgery that she looks nothing like she should at that age!!
At least the fellas have grown old gracefully.
Yeah, because women (especially famous women) are allowed to age gracefully.
And I've seen much worse.
Looking up the female cast of Twin Peaks as they are today is really depressing. =(
I saw her last summer in Toronto, and I must say she looks like she's lost weight since then.
I for one think she looks great.

Yep. Did you see Kim Novak at the Oscars? I nearly ran screaming from my TV.
UK columist Amanda Platell showed up on TV the other week after much surgery and it was horrific... although knowing Amanda's track record, I wondered if it was really down to the Dark Side of the Force corrupting her soul and body like Palpatine ;-)
Shame some women in the public eye feel they have to go through that when they looked beautiful anyway. Mickey Rourke has gotten away with it to a certain extent by playing deformed criminals or deformed wrestlers.
Carrie by comparison has had a minimal ammount of work done and you can't trust badly lit press photos or interviews. I'm sure when JJ is behind the camera he'll make Carrie look like "One million Space Bucks".

Leia is an alien.
Who knows what happens to aliens when they get older?
I honestly can't imagine anyone being critical if the late Claire Davenport was alive and looking a bit older. It's probably the disconnect between metal bra Carrie and nose job Carrie rather than the nose job itself.
Will Han's earring holes be as microscopically tracked as Leia's coke spoon nail?
Are we back on this kick again?

Honestly if anyone hasn't aged gracefully is Billy Dee Williams. I saw him at the RI Comic-Con last fall and he was practically unrecognizable (but I'm not complaining). But even this is partly just because his hair is all wrong. Seriously, don't worry about it guys. They'll look fine.
Hopefully there will be as many miniatures and models in the sequel trilogy as there are in the prequel trilogy. There are more miniatures and models in each Star Wars prequels than entire OT. The whole "there's too much CGI" is not true. I've seen people comment on TFN saying they prefer the original trilogy but still know there are more models and miniatures in the PT. I hope the Sequel trilogy is as good as the prequels.
He's BACK!!

I know this is hard for you to grasp, but it's possible to like something with X number of models and miniatures rather than Y number of models and miniatures.
