The New Movies: Discussion/Excitement/News

[Jubal]

Just a thread for all the latest news of what's going on with the new films

Just asking people opinions, but do you think the new star wars movies will be better or worse than the originals (and some reasons why)?
Personally, I think they will be better if they stick close to established lore and I think a movie about the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong invasion would be awesome.
Anyone know what they are actually working to produce as well?

[comrade_general]

Defo not better than the originals but defo better than the prequels.

[Clockwork]

As a fan of the soon to be destroyed canon, I'm not sure. I'm biased against it but I still think it'll be good. Especially if there is a new token Mandalorian. Or even if they decide Boba actually isn't dead, like in EU (Expanded universe).

EDIT: I have to say though, not a fan of the old actors being in it, but I can't seem to articulate why either.

[Cuddly Khan]

Technically the seventh will still be canon.

[Clockwork]

The seventh will be canon, yeah. The comics, games and other stuff that isn't the movies or the animated tv series will be non-canon on release of the 7th movie

[Gen_Glory]

Pretty sure they are non-canon already

I've got an ingrain suspicion that it'll be rubbish. I'm still quite excited to see it, but I won't be getting my hopes up.

[comrade_general]

No one could possibly do worse than George did with the prequels. So we've got that going at least.

I'll be happy to see the original cast.

[Cuddly Khan]

I've got nothing wrong with the prequels. I think he didn't do too bad with them. That's my opinion anyway. I think they should do a preprequel or something like that. Based on the Old Republic. That would be cool.

[comrade_general]

Very. Many. Excites.

[Jubal]

This looks a lot better than teaser #1. Also, yay for old Harrison Ford.

[SaidaiSloth]

I've seen star wars. It was amazing. AMA.

[comrade_general]

I'm going in a couple hours.
