Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**
Time

You do realize how much the Avengers made? Now Star Wars is my favorite thing in the universe, but it's not everyone's. I'm willing to admit that, box office wise, these films are on the same level.

Also, I said films are front loaded these days. If you really think Avengers is not up to nerf herder scruff, then it'll have no problem making way for SWVII three weeks later.

IMAX is not a gimmick. If you go to a real IMAX theater, then the screen is huge, and the projection is on 70mm trays. If you're seeing a film shot in IMAX, then the picture is significantly greater than the picture of 35mm film.

Also, even at LIeMAX, the sound is outstanding. I don't know about elsewhere, but the sound at my local theater is shit. IMAX is surround sound, and it's loud, like a movie theater should be.

Plus the seats are nice and comfy and the person in front of you is never in the way of the screen.

I treat IMAX going as something special. A couple times a year, because the closest one to me is about 45 minutes. But the experiences I have there are always outstanding.

Episode III: Revenge of the Ridiculousness
Time

Yeah the first time I watched I thought it was maybe like a rough cut or a mistake that their mouths weren't moving. Suffice to say, when the dialogue rarely matches the mouth movement in your movie, you have to make a distinction for when it's not supposed to, just so we know what's going on.

By the way, hilarious. Honestly, the few scenes you've posted have been some of the funniest you've ever made. I'm very much looking forward to this!

Star Wars Prequels 35mm 4K Filmized Editions by Emanswfan (a WIP)

I'd say, if you want to do CGI, leave it for a version 2.

As for the lightsabers, I think the best route would be to give ALL the jedi in the PT blue lightsabers. Someone else said it first, but I'll repeat it here. I think it would add some really cool symbolism if all the jedi had blue lightsabers before Luke did, making the color of his saber sort of the indication of a new order. That way there's actually some meaning to the saber colors.

In addition, when you think about it, the fact that the jedi have sabers that are different, vibrant colors is sort of silly. It kind of makes the PT feel more like a cartoon.

Also, I've seen a yellow lightsaber before and they look a little strange.

Ooh, can't wait I'm on season 3.

Wikipedia tells me Michael B. Jordan is in Red Tails too. Might have to actually watch that.

Also, Elba has to be one of my most favorite actors working today so not only will I be seeking out "Mandela" (and rooting for him come Oscar time), but I will also be rooting for him as an actor in Episode VII (just to put this back on topic).

Hell, the Wire's got such a great cast I'd be overjoyed if any of them get into the ST.
