“Star Wars – Episode 7” maybe all done filming the scenes but J.J. still has lots of work to do…

Leave a comment

JJ Abrams maybe all done filming with the cast of “Star Wars Episode 7” but JJ still has a lot of work to do on the film so we still have a long road to go before completion. What’s next for JJ after filming the movie? Well, there’s gonna be a lot of editing and putting the film together. I’m sure JJ’s gotta add in a lot of special effects like CGI and lens flares (ha!). I’m sure JJ has a lot of light saber effects and laser beams from all the laser guns in the film which is gonna be a lot of work. They also gotta work on the sound editing and all that stuff. Plus John Williams still have to come in to record the score for the movie (which the score is usually the last thing). I’m sure John Williams will put on a killer score for the film and also sure the main Star Wars theme song will be kept for the opening crawl. JJ’s also gotta do some final touches for the film. Tons of work left to do on it.

What will the critical reception of the film be when the film is out? It’s too early to say but I predict the film will probably get mixed reviews but hopefully not. I’m hoping all the reviews will be positive and hoping this will be the film that will make Star Wars fans happy.

I’m sure this film will have plenty of action. Will an older Luke Skywalker be in a epic light saber fight? I would absolutely think so!!! If Luke Skywalker is returning to the new Star Wars movie, fans would be disappointed if he wasn’t swinging the light saber around so I’m sure we will see Luke in action again.

Speaking of Luke Skywalker, I have noticed something about Mark Hamill. In the beginning of filming, Mark Hamill mysteriously grew a beard for the Luke Skywalker role but after the film wraps, I’ve seen that Mark Hamill shaved the beard off after looking at his recent pics so does that mean that Luke shaved the beard during the movie somewhere? Why did Luke shave the beard? So it’s looking like that the script might be about Luke gone missing. There’s gotta be a good reason that Luke grew a beard. Luke may have been held captive, ya know, held prisoner by some people so he might of grew a beard that way and when Luke got rescued, he shaved it off.

Just making some observations here.

Once again, I hope JJ won’t let us down and hope he’ll make us happy this time. I hope it’ll be a good Star Wars film myself. JJ knows a lot about Star Wars so he seems to know what he’s doing. I’ll definitely be in the theaters for this one.

Harrison Ford returns to work for “Star Wars: Episode VII”…

4 Comments

When this article says that, “Han Solo is back in the cockpit”, that of course is referring to Harrison Ford is officially back to work on “SW: E7”. Which is great news. I hope Harrison and the crew will be more careful this time. I’m sure they will be more careful. Han Solo is supposed to play a major part of “Episode 7”, I think he’s pretty much the leading role.

It’s looking like that Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill will have smaller roles.

Rumors going around the internets that the plot to this film is gonna be that Luke Skywalker is missing and I think the Droids (R2 and C3PO) found Luke’s light saber and they must return it to him. So of course, they get help with Han Solo. As you Star Wars fans would know by now, Han is no fan of droids, especially 3PO. Han always found 3PO annoying and I would expect to see Han pick on 3PO even more in “Episode 7” which is gonna be funny!

In other Harrison Ford news, Ridley Scott finally confirms Harrison is coming back to “Blade Runner” which is gonna be cool too.

JJ gives us a sneak peek on the set of “Star Wars 7” while announcing contest in Abu Dhabi…

Leave a comment

While announcing a fundraiser contest where you get the opportunity to have a cameo appearance in “Star Wars 7”, JJ gives us a little sneak peek on set in Abu Dhabi, the desert where they are filming.

As you see in the background, all kinds of people walking around with Star Wars costumes. Then suddenly, you see a little guy walking behind JJ carrying something on his back which looks like a new character for “Star Wars 7”.

Like I said, JJ showing us a little bit at a time. Everyone knows he is obsessed with all of this secrecy. JJ’s been like this with all of his past movies. He never liked to reveal too much.

Star Wars Episode 7 to be taken place on Tatooine???

3 Comments

Seems like Star Wars Episode 7 has already started filming. The crew have already begun filming at some desert which looks to be the Tatooine set. Every Star Wars fan should know by now that Tatooine was the home planet of Luke Skywalker, where he was born and where he grew up on. So the leaked photos is a pretty clear hint we may see the return of Luke Skywalker. Luke returned to Tatooine after the events of “Return of the Jedi”? Look like the droids returned there too ’cause you can see a group of men trying to move a very large object which I think is part of C3Po’s escape pod. Then you see a photo of the AT Walker that we once saw in “Empire Strike Back”.

See the photos here:

Look like they’ll do justice with Star Wars after all, maybe. Look like this is gonna be a Star Wars movie that fans were hoping for and that geeks will be drooling over for sure.

When will we know the title of this movie, the plot and the casting? I’m hoping on Star Wars day, May the 4th… they will reveal all for “Star Wars 7”.

Please don’t fuck this up, JJ. Please!

What I hope for in “Star Wars 7″…

Leave a comment

Like most Star Wars fans, I too am hoping they make “Star Wars 7” a really good film. I’m still a little skeptical of JJ directing/writing it due to the disaster of “Star Trek Into Darkness” but since Lawrence Kasdan helped JJ with the writing… maybe that will help. I’m hoping the film will be pretty dark and intense. Sort of like, “Empire Strike Back”. In my opinion, I think “Empire Strike Back” was the best Star Wars film. “Star Wars 7” will probably end up being an introduction of a new trilogy. Introducing a new plot and new characters. I’m sure the Empire will still be around after 30 years of the events of Vader/Palpatine in “Return of the Jedi”.

In JJ’s Star Wars, I’m sure everything might be a little different than what George Lucas have done to them. I’m sure JJ will have some of George Lucas’s style in the new film but I’m also sure JJ will have some of his own style in it as well. There will probably be new spaceships for the Empire and the Rebel Alliance. I’m sure we’ll have different laser effects for the laser guns on spaceships and hand weapons. I’m also sure the Jedi lightsabers will be different than Lucas’s version. I’m sure there will still be stormtroopers but JJ will for sure give the stormtroopers a new armor and new design.

Keep in mind that the new trilogy will be taken place 30 years after the original trilogy so there’s probably gonna be all new technology in the film. With today’s technology in film making, everything’s gonna be different.

I think I know why they had to set “Star Wars Episode 7” 30 years after “Return of the Jedi”. I mean, think about it, right? It helps explains the aging of Han, Leia and Luke since Harrison, Carrie, and Mark are older now. So there’s definitely a 100% chance that they are in.

I’m sure “Star Wars 7” will keep the opening Star Wars crawl with the three paragraphs crawling into space with the main theme playing. I’m sure John Williams will kill it with the score for the rest of the movie.

I hope this film will be action-packed. It probably will be. I also hope this film will have the same feeling as the original trilogy totally ignoring the prequels.

We had to suffer through three bad prequels thanks to George Lucas so Star Wars needs to be GREAT again. I pray they do a good job with this one.

I have no idea what the plot is going to be yet but since this is focused on younger characters and Adam Driver’s villain character will be similar to Darth Vader, I think I might be figuring it out a little bit. I think what the plot may be is that after the events of Vader/Palpatine in the last film, there is still Empire around and they vow to get revenge at Luke Skywalker. Adam Driver’s villain character (who ever that may be) is desperate to find Luke (that’s why Hammill have to be back) and wants to destroy Luke after what he did to Vader/Palpatine. The Empire is still after Luke (who would be a Jedi by now) in the film so he has other young Jedi hopefuls to help him and protect him.

Only thing though, we had this helping to train young kids hoping to be Jedi’s plot too many times. They had that plot idea in the original trilogy and in the prequels so no need to rehash that idea again. I think it’s preferably that the kids are already Jedi’s. That would make it more interesting. Young Jedi’s help fight off the Empire with Luke’s help.

Will there be a new death star in the film? Possibly but the Rebel Alliance will want to destroy the death star again so no need to rehash that plot idea as well.

In the new film, I’m sure we’ll get plenty of space battles and lightsaber combat. They’ll make the film exciting and fun, I hope.

Every time I go see a Star Wars film, the audience will stand up and cheer a lot. We need to feel that with this film so hopefully they give us a reason to stand up and cheer again.

Will Ben Kenobi the ghost come back in this one? I’m not sure… it’s going to be hard to get Sir Alec Guiness’s voice-overs but I’m sure they’ll figure something out. They’ll give Ben Kenobi a cameo of some sort. Yoda will probably return but as a ghost this time.

It’ll be interesting to see how they pull this off. As you know, JJ Abrams is obsessed with secrecy. He is secretive with all of his projects and he’ll do the same with Star Wars. Reveal a little bit at a time. Once again, I pray they do a good job. I wanna like Star Wars again ’cause I haven’t been liking it for a long while.

BREAKING NEWS: Lucasfilm confirms, “Star Wars 7”, with a 2015 release date after Disney, acquiring rights from George Lucas…

Leave a comment

George Lucas, announced last year, that he is retiring from making blockbuster movies for good. Now he’s passing the torch, to someone else to continue the Star Wars franchise. While Disney is preparing to buy Lucasfilm, they also acquired the rights from George Lucas to the Star Wars films. So yes, that means there will be a “Star Wars 7” on the way, slated for a 2015 release date.

Read the full story, here.

I guess, that’s good news that George is leaving the franchise, because the prequels were pretty much garbage except for Episode III “Revenge of the Sith”, which was a really good one.

This is a good chance for other film makers to make the Star Wars movies much better. Only problem though, I’m cool with any director making the movies, as long as Michael Bay, doesn’t touch them. Michael Bay, ruined the Transformers movies, we don’t need him ruining, Star Wars.
