It's always possible he smoked his own cigarette then opened the bin to carefully put it in the trash. ;)

Hamill doesn't look the best here, but there's still time I suppose. :)

How come it takes two bumps to be added to the list in the OP?

Please bump again as a reminder, and I'll add you.

Screw you george, I added you anyway. :p

Sorry, I thought you meant that if I bumped the thread you would ignore me yourself. :P

^ Sarcasm?

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have been collaborating on shitty scripts together for ages. From the awful Hercules and Xenia television series to many of the big crappy blockbusters that his cinemas in recent years. You have them to thank for the scripts of such wonderful films as The Island, all three Transformer films, both Star Treks, and Cowboy's and Aliens. They are Hollywood's go to guys for fluffy action flicks where the dialogue doesn't really matter in the least. Lindeloff is probably the most talented of the three.

And that's still not even a compliment to Lindelof, LOL.

I agree, though. Those three are all awful writers. Their only major critical success in film is the ST movies, and that's obviously JJ's direction elevating what are pretty generic scripts.

Try turning on the stove first.

I misread the thread title as 'Thinkin 'bout getting a big boner'.

Yes.

Interesting tidbit.

JJ took fan suggestions on Kimmel last night. Trust me, it's worth watching.

The Zahn trilogy is great. I loved Dark Horse's comic adaptations as well.

Sometimes people wonder if religious ideas about afterlife sprung up out of fears of the unknown - death. But at the same time I've always found it difficult to imagine that my consciousness completely ceases to exist. It's a strange battle of thoughts.

I guess we never know until it's our time. :)

(I didn't mean to sound irritated or anything in my post above. A winkie smiley might have helped.)

I was hoping for a slightly different discourse on life after death.

Orci and Kurtzmen and Lindelof are outright hacks for this story.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but there's an interesting thread on reddit right now. Basically, people who have died or been declared dead at some point are describing what they saw, felt, or experienced.

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1ecfs8/redditors_who_have_died_then_been_resuscitated/

Some people describe it as dark nothingness, like a dreamless sleep. Others have had experienced a wide variety of things that give them feelings of peace or love.

It makes one wonder a bit. Sometimes I think that if there is something after this life, it's whatever we make it to be. People who expect nothing would experience nothing, whereas people imaging more 'heavenly' settings might experience those. Of course this operates under the assumption there is some other plane of existence.

At the same time you can look at it a different way. People who saw or felt euphoria might have done so due to peaks in brain activity right before they died or right after they were resuscitated. Those who felt or saw nothing may have simply not have had this rush of activity. That moment of death was just a small gap or blip in their consciousness.

It's interesting to ponder, though. I'm not religious but I'm not necessarily an atheist. Reading stories like the ones in this reddit thread are certainly stimulating for me. I'm curious to know what others think of these reddit stories or on the topic of "what's next" in general.

Looks like poodoo.

It was always expected that Lucas would creatively consult, no?

Quite frankly, I think JJ and Kathleen will not allow any of Lucas' awful ideas compromise the film. What can George do if they refuse to incorporate his ideas?

At the same time I think George is too lazy to have anything more than basic, passing input. Plus, they'll be filming in England and other places so definitely George won't be around the set.

^ It seemed like most of the interview was about SW. And when JJ talked about ST, he mostly discussed that he didn't enjoy ST as a kid.
