Good. Fisher was a waste in TFA beyond pure nostalgia. She should have died instead of/with Ford. [Reply]

Lol at you so called adults crying over someone having a different opinion and calling it trolling.
I'll watch all these Star wars flicks but the fact is it was really stupid how she's just uusing the force out of the blue and it working.
F u if you don't like my opinion about a male lead and it being pc on purpose crap.
And you seriously are knocking me for making fun of the villain lead? He was a joke in the role. He was like a serious version of DarkHelmets son from Space balls lol.
Sorry but actual grown ups don't need to play your kiss up game to have an opinion.
You talk about free thinking and freedom of speech and being entitled to an opinion but none of you are capable of doing it.
I'm not crying, I'm laughing that this is even a take. Really, if its a good movie, what's the problem with a female, or (gasp) a black lead? Seriously, if that's how you feel, then good for you. I'm going to laugh at how dumb you are, and how ignorant you must be for this to be an issue. Now get back under your bridge troll. I'm done feeding you. [Reply]
Star Wars Episode VIII is going to be completely unlike The Force Awakens according to its stars
After the bulletproof success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you might think Disney would do everything to keep things just as they are. But the sequel, "Episode VIII," is already shaping up to be a much different beast. At least that's what the stars are saying. The next film in the main Star Wars timeline, now in production, is being written and directed by Rian Johnson, best known for Looper.
John Boyega (who plays Finn) already revealed Johnson's Star Wars is "much darker." Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) says he's a "different" temperature from The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams. Now Oscar Isaac has opened up a bit more about what's different in The Force Awakens follow-up.
"Rian is definitely going to places and investigating things that haven’t really been done in the 'Star Wars' universe," Isaac told the Los Angeles Times. "For me, it’s so fun getting to explore different things that I wouldn’t have expected in this universe. In some ways it feels like we’re making an independent film," he added. Isaac is known for his work in the indie world like Ex Machina and Inside Llewyn Davis. "Certain things we get to play with — this kind of intimacy that we get to find — it's special. It’s been really fun," Isaac said.
The best hint about what to expect in The Force Awakens sequel from Rian Johnson, however, comes from writer Lawrence Kasdan, who worked on The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
"Rian Johnson is a friend of mine — he's going to make some weird thing," Kasdan told the LA Times. "If you've seen Rian's work, you know it's not going be like anything that's ever been in Star Wars."
Hopefully Disney is ready for another kind of Force in the universe. [Reply]
this is exactly what i wanted in episode 7. I liked 7th just for it not being a prequel tragedy and just setting a solid foundation, even though rehashed in a lot of ways. I have a strong feeling Rogue and ep VIII is gonna blow everything else out of the water. [Reply]

Trolling is a ban able offense. Why is this ass clown still here? [Reply]
This forum has always been pretty much without censorship of any kind for as long as I can remember. It is a blessing and a curse. I don't like to use the ignore function, but some people are making me reconsider. I won't quote him anymore, and I'm done responding because he is either a troll, or someone so obstinate that arguing won't change his mind. Either way, there are far better uses of my time. Like counting down the days until the star wars movie comes out... [Reply]
