I personally think BioWare should simply create an entire CGI series. The Old Republic trailers, all roughly 20 minutes combined (way rough number, don't quote me on that), were better than any single prequel movie to me. BioWare did in a 7 minute CGI trailer what Lucas couldn't do in a two hour+ film.

BioWare doesn't make their own CGI trailers. They hand those assignments to third party animation studios, like Blur.

I think hes a good director and has good vision. That fact hes willing to take risks and not simply settle on "canon" ideas and what the fans want is a good trait. Star Trek was different to what everyone expected and oh boy was it good!

We need someone like that to tell Lucas to shut up, because you know he will still try and bully his ideas into the new movie.

Lost all interest when I heard Jar Jar Abrams was behind this. He turned Star Trek into idiotic mindless pew pew with his glorified nemesis remake.

George Lucas didn't want to do another one, but then he decided to retire in style. He sold Lucasfilm and all its companies (ILM, Skywalker Sound, LucasArts, etc.) to Walt Disney Studios for 4 billion dollars. Since Lucas was the only owner, he received all of it. He then donated the full 4 billion to education.

And now that Disney is 4 billion dollars poorer, they want to release more Star Wars movies very quickly, with two year intervals starting 2015.

I guess JJ is alright. Would have liked it if they got Jon Favreau.

Back in August he told Hamill & Fisher there might be more SW movies. Let´s see what happens, I liked ST reboot, but with SW I´m more concerned about who writes the script (not the plot) than who directs, although I´d like they would keep the references to the old movies SW is inspired by.

NO.

Also: I don't like the sound of this. I was hoping we'd get Joss Whedon.

Michael Arndt is writing the screenplay based on a treatment written by George Lucas. Arndt was the writer of Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3. One of the next movies will be written by Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.

At least George Lucas is not directing this time.


And not writing. Hopefully.

But yeah, it could be A LOT worse. We could've gotten Michael Bay or something.

Pretty much this, and I was fairly hopeful after Lucas left the picture too.

Also, I'd like to add Nolan to that list.

Night would kill everything.

And definently not Uwe Boll. Not him.

It's a mix bag for me.

I have only seen a handful of J.J. Abrams works--which notably would assumably be his best ones--the editing, cinematography, special effects and sometimes the sound mix have been "state-of-the-art", so I'm certain he'll deliver at least a spectacular visual show.

But ultimately, the story and characters play a much larger role than visuals. What lifted Star Trek into the ether was the rightness of its casting and playing (if you want to ignore that the film deliberately deemphasizes heady concepts and plainly stated humanist virtues in favor of breathless action), Abrams could pull it off. As long as they don't sacrifice characterization aspects for visual ones, like they did for the prequels, it's possible it won't be a total flop.

Basically flip a coin.

This was my thought too when I read this, ha.

I do like J.J. Abrams so I'm interested in seeing how it turns out.

"Jar Jar Abrams"

OH GOD MY SIDES! :wizard:

At least Nemesis had real Romulans, not the kind you get from your local Rent-A-Romulan that are just humans with pointed ears and emo tattoos.

He wrote the story treatments way back, but he won't write the screenplay. Lucas acts as a creative consultant on this one.

The trilogy writers are:

Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine, Toy Story 3)

Lawrence Kasdan (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Simon Kinberg (Sherlock Holmes, X-Men: The Last Stand)

Edit: Kasdan and Kinberg are consultants on Episode VII, according to the press release. They may also write the sequels, but I'm not sure if that's official yet. It was implied in the past, though.

Wha-?????????? :mellow::huh::blink::crying: ....Pffft, well I really like Nolan :kissing:, and I don't think J.J Abrams is that bad...certainly Michael Bay is much, much worse. I'll never forgive him for 2012, shameful.
Anyway, when I first heard about the fact that they intend on making a new Star Wars trilogy I did the double facepalm...but I've chosen to be optimistic, and with Michael Arndt writing the screenplay for the first film and those other two guys it can't be all that bad. :)
