Also that ridiculous giraffe-neck guy.... someone please kill me. Or him. Oh, wait....

Yeah. And did anybody else laugh during Yoda's light sabre battle with Darth whoever? I felt guilty laughing at Yoda, but that little digital Muppet flying around was just too ridiculous.

Oh yes. Tremendous laughter.....but not in the mean way, at least from me. Of course, it looks ridiculous, as how could it not be, but it's surprising to me how effectively it actually worked.

edit: Fascinating as well how many times when talking about the prequels one is reduced to "Darth Whomever", whereas during the originals, we even knew the names of the Dianoga, that is not ever even said during the films.

For such a massive Star Wars fan, he really cant spell Anakin very well...Big smile

Queue the excuses...GO...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

I hear Benedict Cumberbatch (that Khan guy) will have a role in VII, probably as a villain. I'm sure it will annoy some people that see actors from startrek in a starwars reboot.

JJ abrams is a massive nerd and I'm sure he recognizes George's mistakes after watching starwars movies a billion times. I trust he'll do a better job than anyone else rebooting starwars.

He's also the guy that thought it was OK for the Enterprise to be underwater.

So, Cumberbatch has already been Sherlock, Khan, Smaug....and is returning for another season of "Sherlock" along with (by count at IMDB) 8, yes EIGHT more films before 2015 is out (mind you this even includes playing Alan Turing)...........

.....Cumberbatch burnout and Backlash is fast, fast approaching, and it ain't gonna be pretty.

I'm already over him utterly. And as a gay man, I find him spectacularly unattractive.....in the utmost.
