I quite like J J Abrams, the guy is good at what he does which is good mystery stuff like Lost and Alias.
Star Wars though... Hmm, I'll reserve judgement.
What's Star Wars?
I'm sure it's going to contradict the EU on several major points. Respecting its existence does not mean that they need to regard it as anything other than a secondary canon. I imagine that it's much more likely that the extended universe becomes an alternate universe. And, frankly, I'll be glad for it. I don't want any contrived crap like Palpatine clones or Vader's Glove in the new movies anyway.
Some of the extended universe is cool. Most of it is crap.
Yeah, I wasn't sure if you were talking about Star Trek (the movie) or Star Trek (the entire series).
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Yep...Disney owns almost everything media related now.Disney owns Marvel.
Whoever it was forgot that Disney owns Marvel, ahaha don't you remember the titanic troutstorm that ensued when that happened? e; oh it was Sarah, what a surprise
I'd be worried about this if it was a TV show because Abrams is terrible at those, but he's great at movies so this should be some serious trout.
Also every nerd ever is dreaming of an epic crossover now
I wasn't aware of any troutstorm that happened!
I was never a huge fan of Star Trek the series (nothing against it, just didn't get into it) but the film was all kinds of awesome. Pretty excited to see the new installment when it comes out.
In all seriousness, I'm not that excited about a new Star Wars film. The last three really killed it for me. I'll obviously still go and see it at the cinema... if only for the introduction music.
Wasnt disney also behind the pirates of the caribbean movie? (the rest of them never happened)
I dont think disney is as kiddey as people tend to think they are
This
Will
Be
Awesomeeeee!
Other reasons to be excited about the new movie: the writer for The Empire Strikes Back is a consultant on the project.
