RUMOR General Star Wars: The Force Awakens News & Rumors Thread

I agree completely. No matter how great this movie is, the majority of fans will feel some sort of disappointment that something didn't happen the way they have pictured it to turn out. Most star wars fans, it seems from what I've seen, were disappointed by the elimination of the EU. We've all read these novels and comics for so long that we feel like our family history has been erased.

 

I disagree that a "majority" will feel disappointment. There will definitely be some, though, as there was with the prequels.

 

The eu was to predictable.

 

Yeah we all had Chewie pegged for most likely to get crushed by a moon.

 

Yep there was a bad reaction when he was killed off, they sure didn't try that again.

 

Could've been worse, If George had got his way it would've ended like this :

"Han and Leia probably did get married. They settled down. She became a senator, and they got a nice little house with a white picket fence. Han Solo is out there cooking burgers on the grill." - http://uk.ign.com/articles/2005/05/13/lucas-spills-star-wars-secrets

 

And yet we see so many hoping to see those EU elements in the new movies. I feel really fortunate to have never read any of that stuff. Not because I think they were bad stories (though some of them really sound ridiculous), but because I spared myself from emotionally committing to stories that are about to be undone.

 

I read a few then decided to start again with a non-eu focus.

 

I've only read a few eu books and just couldn't get into them. I was more interested in the movies and hoping more would eventually come along. Especially all the talk of 7 - 12 through the years.

 

I hate to say this but am not looking forward to this film. Everyday I read forums, I hear news and my heart sinks. I know what I would like to see but I think we are getting the opposite. I obviously don't physically know what is happening but am going on gut feeling and what I was taught in film studies at college. My interpretations are usually right. Heck if was wrong on half the stuff I'd of failed my diploma (JOKING). Sad times

 

No - totally agree. That's exactly what my post said!

 

I don't think it's possible to judge this movie right now. Star Wars is action and adventure as well as anything else, and without seeing the movie there is no way to experience those crucial elements.

 

Have a beer. You'll feel better.

Seriously, internet forums like these get bogged down in negativity about unproven or misunderstood rumors. Stay optimistic and enjoy the wait.

 

We just have to wait until we see the movie for ourselves. We can complain about MSW's reports as much as we want, but reading their not terribly exciting descriptions is not the same as actually seeing the film.

 

I don't think anyone was saying they did... other than 1) those sets were clearly real and were built at Pinewood when Annie visited the studio. 2) It then becomes obvious you can make the link between the huge metal entrance in the snow and the First Order bunker seen in teaser two, and then link the huge stone entrance seen in the Vanity Fair Phasma photo and accompanying video with what was photographed at Pinewood by tourists and some of the similar pics seen at Celebration and deduce this is (probably) what Vanity Fair revealed as Maz's castle in the text.

So yeah, while they are not representative of "the movie" per se, they still revealed a lot.

 

Kinda weird, in a way, the marketing so far seems to be all about Kylo Ren and the droids...
More confirmation of 3PO's red arm...

 

Its always been Villan and droids and Yoda.
