As long as casting is decent it shouldn't be terrible. The acting in the last 3 star wars was awful...just awful (and so is my spelling from time to time)

I thought the Emperor did pretty good.

Samuel Jackson :rollpicard:

Hayden was an AWFUL choice. Awful, awful, awful.

 

[SleeperLS]

yup, he pretty much ruined it for me...I don't really want to know whos dick he gobbled down to get that role but it was terrible

 

[Bru]

Very interesting. Excited to see what comes from it.

Hopefully the writing is better and the actors aren't afraid to be a bit more ad lib like the first 3.

 

[Flyn]

With Abrams directing, I'm expecting more of a dramatic action block buster with some humorous lines thrown in. Hopefully, he watches the originals, especially the original Star Wars and follows that formula.

 

[VenomInside]

Excellent!

Yeah because the acting in the first three was stellar! Mark Hamil, 12 time Oscar winner. I'd argue that Hayden Christensen did a better job that Mark Hamil. People need to stop putting the first three up on a pedestal like they were made by God himself. Yeah they were good, but so were the new ones.

Remind me to never trust your taste in movies.

Dude, even at Hamil's WORSE, he still looked like an oscar winner compared to Hayden.

Hayden isnt a bad actor. Lucas "fucked up" the movies.

Hell, if we used EP 1-3 as the example, Sam Jackson would be a horrible actor too.

They werent "terrible" by any means. At least IMO.

Not sure about Abrams doing a SW. But Ill keep my reservations until I see a finished product.

 

[Mook]

This was the saving grace for those movies for me.

 

[Fish]

That was, in my honest opinion, THE best lightsabre fight in any Star Wars movie. Second, would be the Darth Maul fight.

The rest of the movies had their moments, but arent horrible by any means.

No way dude. Hamil is borderline unwatchable. I'd put him on par with mini anikin in the first movie.

Don't trust my taste in movies.

 

[SleeperLS]

I would still argue that overall the first three were better. I am not saying Hamil is some acting genius, but i would agree with the previous statements that he is better than Christensen.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

You can't act when your staring at an object that will later become a computer animated cartoon. Or when your world is a giant blue/green. Bring back the puppets and robots and the acting will improve.

Hamill > Hayden.

Latino Review, the site known for dropping major scoops about superhero movies, has moved on to Star Wars, and their latest finding is a biggie.

They’re reporting that Harrison Ford will return as Han Solo in Star Wars Episode VII. Now, we knew that he was interested in returning and we’ve heard that LucasFilm is interested in doing something with Solo, but this is the first time we’ve heard that Ford will, in fact, return. How will he fit in? Is this news legitimate? Discuss below.

Until Disney and LucasFilm release a press release, I understand how people will take this piece of news with a grain of salt. But Latino Review would not report it unless they heard, from a very reliable source (or sources), that Ford, director J.J. Abrams, screenwriter Michael Ardnt and LucasFilm’s Kathleen Kennedy had discussed this and agreed on it.

While there isn’t a finished script for Episode VII just yet, those four people all have an idea of what’s going to happen, what characters are going to appear and what they’re going to need to make it happen. Ford’s participation is something we assumed but now it sounds like the word is out. And the deal is “done” and ”significant.”

It’s still early on the West Coast, so Disney hasn’t released an official response yet, but we’ve asked and will update when they’re in touch. Head to Latino Review to watch a video of @elmayimbe explaining this scoop and the process.

So now that we’ve addressed the information itself, let’s take it and run. If Han Solo is in Star Wars Episode VII, how big a role do you want him to have? I have a strong feeling that it won’t be a large role, but an important one. His appearance would likely serve both as a passing of the torch to a new generation but also to link the original trilogy with this sequel trilogy.

This is big, exciting news don’t you think?

Nuking the mother fucking fridge

Although the biggest thing the new Star Wars has going for it is that Lucas isn't directing it.

 

[Mook]

Lets just pretend that never happened.
