Does anyone think the movie makers have pulled a fake-out with the casting.
Rylo Kloon being a trilogy villain despite not being cast past the first movie.
Finn the Hooman dying in the first movie despite being listed for all three?
I do agree that the storm-trooper suit and the blue light saber are being shown to fake out the audience.

I think it's likely, but the metacritic will probably be a bit lower
I don't think it'll be a bad movie, just a sort of soulless one that might be hard to love (like they mentioned). It won't get many bad reviews but not too many great ones either
That hack fraud isn't buying RLM merchandise.
Doubtful. JJ is spending a lot of time getting the setting and look and feel right. Disney spend a lot of time worrying about canon. And most more importantly, Lawrence Kasdan co-wrote this.
I have a ton of faith in this one.

Yeah, Luke like his father rides the line a bit closer then some of the older Jedi masters would have liked as seen in episodes 1-3, but he remains a Jedi in the end. I'm shocked that neither guessed Luke would get an action scene to save Finn/Rey at the end.

Same. JJ said from the start he always wanted to make Star Wars, look at how he made Star Trek 1 and 2 basically his Star Wars. Now that he's working with a property he REALLY cares about, and has proven he can do big sci fi battles, then all to him.
As to Luke being evil, I really do think he'll be a yoda character. Or at least he won't appear until the end when the main characters go to the new jedi order and luke is the leader.
That's how you make sure everyone knows you lost weight

There's pretty much no chance that it'll be a bad movie (I'm sure there will be people who dislike it), but it won't necessarily be an interesting or memorable one. Since they've opened up the license to produce movies that aren't numbered Star Wars sequels I think a lot of interesting projects can be made, but with what happened with the prequels, and with so many members of the original cast returning, it seems like Disney is most interested in drawing continuity with the original trilogy rather than necessarily making a groundbreaking movie.
Episode 7's purpose is to convince as many people as possible to see a new Star Wars movie every year from 2016 onwards

I know people are having fun with the Darth Jar Jar joke, but if he really was an imperial secret meesa so secret agent, then he would have joined the guys a LONG time before shit happened.
It was meesa Annie, all along!

I love their idea for a dead Jar Jar callback. It doesn't even have to be direct, just mention that Goongas only live for 25 years, just so we know he's dead.

Have one appear on the streets and start singing like a really sad song. Then the heroes start kicking the shit out of him

They can reveal that lightsabers all have a Gungang soul at the core and they were hunted to death.
I'm just going by comic book logic. Need a new big bad guy? Let's turn a hero evil!
For example: Monarch/Captain Atom.
there's your evil wizard villain

Luke may have become jaded by the never-ending battle against the Empire and became a recluse, but the optimism and heroism of Rey and Finn inspires him to defeat Kylo Ren and rejoin the Rebels in their time of need. Then it is revealed that Kylo's mission was to draw the old Jedi out of hiding for his master's scheme or whatever.
Luke turning to the dark side really spoils the end of Jedi for me, with Driver, Serkis, Gleeson, Christie, (maybe) Sydow and Del Toro all already playing villains I really doubt that he will turn.

Those were some interesting SW theories. Hope that Jar Jar one ends up happening.
Nah, JJ needs to adopt the theory of Darth Darth Binks.

Seriously. This is some JFK-level shit.

So I finally read that Jar Jar theory and on one hand it makes perfect fucking sense but on the other hand George Lucas would never do anything this subtle and not talk about it.
EDIT: And I don't mean "Jar Jar is the key to all of this".
Biggest issue with Darth Jar Jar seems to be if anyone bothers to watch the prequels to verify whether Jar Jar did the Jedi hand waving in correct spots when talking about the things he wanted to happen. It's impossible to tell from a gif what he's saying when he does it. And did Jar Jar even suggest being made a general? Wasn't it the big guy's idea? And no, I don't mean morbidly obese fat Mike but rather the big Gungan.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Those theories are always fun (like the Mass Effect 3 indoctrination theory) but thinking that Lucas would do that and never talk about it is silly. If Episode 3 ended with Jar Jar revealing everything it could have been....interesting?
Still, a fun read

Yeah, I have no faith in Lucas being that subtle with anything. Fun theory but there's no way it's anything other than fan fic.
Guys WTF?
Why is there a fucking thread on OT about something you assholes should have posted here. I come here to be in-the-fucking-know, motherfuckers, and now I look like a dunce seeing a thread on fucking OT about this shit OMG no warning.

Looks like Jay will be on tonight's stream.
I enjoy listening to the stream when Jay is there, since with him the guys seem to talk about a wider variety of topics outside of gaming (movies, RLM projects, etc.).

That's the kind of person who is beyond saving. Let him like the movies if he wants. It's obvious he can't take criticism or understand sarcasm. If he enjoys them then so be it. The reviews are for people who know they're bad.

That video is just awkward. It's this kid sittin in some storage room, with a tiny laptop on his feet. It just looks....weird.
And now and then he says "No, YOU ARE soandso!"
Kinda boring, really.

I still don't know if he's being sarcastic in any of these, because by my memory they didn't like the Hobbit movies and did like Chronicle (even if Mike completely forgot it existed).
Here's hoping that episode is as awkward as I'm picturing it in my head.
