Just look at the capital R from the title cards for TFA and ESB. completely different

Edit: the text in the article is different from the shots from Adywan. Which is right?

Definitely ady’s. The pic in that article is fan made (notice “Has” and “Vanished” capitalized).

Ady shows that TFA and ESB’s font’s are damn near matches (looks to me like they’re the same with TFA’s just a little thicker).

It’s funny how people are going crazy over this small detail and calling it wrong when it isn’t really You’d think if people were being nitpicking about small details they’d notice a small detail like ESB’s font being “wrong” too, even though it was the first film to have a subtitle. This article even shows the two side by side but never once realizes they are the same: http://www.slashfilm.com/the-force-awakens-opening-crawl-is-wrong/

I guess when JJ and co. decided to “try very hard to duplicate” the original, they had some crazy idea to duplicate the font of the film that originated the subtitle. How dare they?

Also not entirely sure but I think ANH might have the same font as TFA and ESB. Which would mean of course that the three best movies have it so everyone should shut up about the other four as if they’re somehow more “right.”

+1

I think it’s cool how the crawl for certain movies is different.

Box Office Mojo says the movie is still playing on 58 screens. Wish one was near me.

Now that TFA’s on home video and we can properly examine, I must say I LOVE the gate weave (or whatever you might call it) applied to the all the titles.

As soon as I got the bluray and the credits started to roll, my family thought I was crazy because I leapt out if my seat and ran up two inches away from the tv to look to see if there was gate weave hahahaha

The ads for the DVD and Blu-Ray releases are right in labeling it “the movie experience of a generation.”

“If only you knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.”

“He told me enough! He told me you killed him.”

Absolutely. If Episodes VIII and IX are anywhere near as good people will see TFA as the rebirth of the franchise.

Honestly a lot of that is going to ride on Rogue One and Han Solo as well. If those aren’t at least good, then people will start to be a bit less enthusiastic about Lucasfilms new direction.

Look around you. Star Wars has already been reborn (it may actually be more popular now than ever?).

If Rouge One is bad then people will doubt if future Spin Off films will be any good. If the Han Solo flick is bad it will only confirm those initial suspicions. Episode VIII will have come out already and people’s reception to that film it crucial for every thing that comes after it. Whether it be in the main series or spin offs.

HOW SOON IS NOW QUESTION MARK

how can you say
I go about the things the wrong way

Ironic, given that I was not human at the time I made that post (although I still needed to be loved, just like everybody else does).

I’ve mentioned this before but it is the attention to detail for the aesthetic that I love the most. I had the opportunity at a New Years party to meet the guy who was hired to create all the starfields for the movie. He talked to me about how they wanted him to do it in a relatively short amount of time and he begged for more so he could have time to do it right. He painstakingly painted in every star trying to match the look of the starfields in SW. And that effort was not wasted because the first time I saw the movie I looked at the starfield in the opening crawl and my first thought was “it looks like a slightly more blue despecialized starfield.”

It’s that dedication and attention to detail that’s present throughout the movie that I love. I mean, this guy could have created a perfectly fine starfield in a couple minutes for each shot just using some tools in photoshop or after effects or something, but you can tell everyone involved in the movie has a deep love for Star Wars and wanted to do it right.

Sure, the story is a bit re-hashy and all, but I’d take that over a film made by people just phoning in their work any day.

Beautiful analysis DL. Have u checked out “Secrets of the Force Awakens” doc yet? It totally shows you even more the dedication and love put into the film.

for all the love and passion put into this film it’s such a shame the end product was so mediocre and forgettable!

Thank you for giving us your bi/tri-monthly dose of TFA hate. Now please do what you always do and fall off the face of the board so that we may revel your absence. Thank you.

For such a forgettable movie, you sure have no problem remembering each and every single flaw (real, imagined, or exaggerated) that comes to mind.

Well it seems it was unforgettably bad.
