Mid-1970s George Lucas (with unlimited money) would not have made The Phantom Menace. I would much, much rather watch VII again than any of the prequel movies.

The title of the clip is "JJ Abrams doesn't understand Star Wars". I could make a strong argument that George Lucas doesn't understand Star Wars either. Almost every change he's made to the OT has been a mistake. The prequels were a disaster made marginally better due to The Clone Wars...

Some of the recent books have been good at somewhat filling in the backstory. Lost Stars and Bloodline being prime examples. But nothing in those books really changes my opinion of the shortcomings of a pretty good Star Wars movie.

LOST was a very good tv series. The flashbacks were effective. They can work in Star Wars and are likely necessary. Maybe they're referred to as "force visions" instead.

To be honest, I think we credit George Lucas way too much. Film making is a collaborative process and he had a ton of help with those first movies. As he's gained more power and control, the quality of the work has diminished and exposed him. I don't think the Star Wars that we know today is...

I've seen it once (Saturday night) and will see it again in a couple days. Here's a few general thoughts... Writing: I liked the way the dialog was written and the way the characters interacted with each other. As with other JJ Abrams movies, the plot wasn't as strong as I'd like. There were...

As a writer/director, you don't get to complain about people hating your movies when you write stuff like: "I wish I could wish away my feelings" "Ay-yee-yee! Wha! Was’n dat. Hey, wait! Oh, mooie-mooie! I love you!" "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil" "I have seen a security hologram of...

Fair enough. Even as a bad player, you'd likely still enjoy the game as a temporary distraction ... just for the Star Wars aspect of it. There's also a single player element as well and the AI stormtroopers are horrendously bad shots. However, it's probably not worth the expense if you don't...

Watch BB-8 in the trailer when Rey says "I'm no one".

All the US ticket sites had issues after the trailer aired. They weren't completely unusable for that long though. I could have gotten tickets at the time. Pre-ordering isn't in the cards for me since I'm not sure what city I'll be in for opening day.

Here's someone's attempt to put together every shot from all of the teasers/trailers in the order they *think* they go in:

It looks like Eddie Izzard's house.

The controls are like pretty much any shooter game ever made. The "Battlefield" series of games will give you an idea of what you're in store for. Quick reflexes, calm nerves, and knowledge of the maps is what will make you good. These sort of games do have issues with cheaters. The game...

First off, here's the trailer if you haven't seen it: Secondly, a lot of people seem convinced that the robotic hand touching R2-D2 at the 1:40 mark belongs to Luke Skywalker. Here's my speculation:

I still prefer The Clone Wars. Rebels panders a bit too much to children.

I've played it. The game was fun. Campaigns probably require a lot of work (writing a script, cut-scenes, extra animations, etc). Personally, I *would* play the campaign first and then do multiplayer. However, the vast majority of play time is definitely multiplayer. In lieu of a campaign...
