He’d better be able to pull off Ford’s mannerisms and voice perfectly, 'cause he sure as Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory looks nothing like Ford in this or any closely related reality.

^ that’s what I meant

They just had to cast someone whose jaw structure is twice as wide as Ford’s. 😉

We’ll have to wait for that until the films come out cause I doubt they’ll make an official statement saying “VIII and IX will not be a soft remake of V and VI” but I wish they’d say that though. Implying VIII and IX are at least mostly original of course.

Some of the leaks I’ve seen for 8 (verified ones, not weird fanficiton ‘script leaks’) have given me high hopes for it, so I’m actually eagerly awaiting the film.

Who exactly verified these leaks? I’ve stayed clear of them but to my knowledge none of them have been confirmed by anyone.

Part of my disdain for TFA is definitely due to my expectations. They weren’t fulfilled and I felt a bit cheated waiting 10 years for something that I felt was way too similar for my liking.

Ironically enough I expected TFA to be a 7/10 affair. Pretty good but nothing special. Boy were me expectations exceeded.

I have plenty of friends who love TFA and I don’t mind at all; I’m honestly glad so many people like it, I just personally can’t do it myself.

I’m glad that you’re not one of those people who hate TFA and feel a compulsion to tear others down and name call because someone has a different opinion then yours. Any type of deviation from that type of narcissism is good to have.

Will I be pissed if VIII and IX follow suit and hew this close to the OT? Of course, I don’t think they can or should get away with this kind of thing more than once. But as far as the series up to TFA is concerned, I needed a course correction before a Great Leap Forward, and I’m happy to have got one.

That’s why I said I’ll be more forgiving of TFA if Disney/Lucasfilm can prove this won’t be an ongoing trend.

A story about Luke building the new temple and training Kylo would have at least been more interesting than a string of interchangeable events we’ve seen before tied together by “coincidences”.

A story about Luke training a bunch of Jedi’s (specifically the offspring of Leia and Han) would have been made a long loooong ass time ago. You can’t really blame TFA for a 30 year gap; blame Lucas.

everything else is exactly the same or a very slight variation of what’s come before.

I think it’s how you look at it…if you condense the film into meme form then yes but if you look at it with detail then a myriad of difference become apparent whether minute or substantial.

but I can’t look past how obvious a safe-player it was.

After the PT we needed safe. Now that most people are on board they can do bold things and from what I’ve heard Rian is doing something kind of weird with VIII.

TFA just felt like Disney saying “see, we hate the prequels too, we’ll prove it by showing you cool X-Wings and Stormtroopers again!” and putting their quest to ‘regain trust’ over making an actual piece of art; basically it felt like a money maker and nothing more.

I find that ironic due to the PT (AOTC especially) being one giant toy commercial.

The Mummy (1999) - 7.5/10 (Saw this a couple of days ago and it was a fun flick but not exactly as good as when I was a kid)

Have you seen the two sequels?

Unfortunately. I watched The Mummy every week when I was a kid and I watched The Mummy Returns on a monthly basis. In retrospect Returns was trash and the 3rd one was even worse. No retrospect needed for that one.

Also, watched ANH last night for “Star Wars day”… 10/10, obviously.

For some reason I can’t rate any film 10/10 but I can do it for video games
