Disney/Lucasfilm, EpVII coming Dec. 2015, post-RotJ EU non-canon

[Fxeni]

I assume they'll be introducing some of the elements of the newer Rogue Squadron in Ep VII.

[Protoman Blues]

One would hope, yeah!

So, according to Pablo Hidalgo at Celebration VII, Hutts in the NuCanon are no longer hermaphroditic.  They have separate sexes, so a Hutt can be either male or female.

[Sakura Leic]

Huh that's interesting, then again I had no idea the Hutt species were hermaphrodites even though it makes sense.

It just looks so...so........ REAL. So not fake. Real, practical effects. Man, it's just so refreshing. 

[Fxeni]

It's... it's beautiful.

[Phi]

Didn't expect to be that impressed by the video, but... God, that was beautiful. Takes me back.

And you can genuinely see how ecstatic everyone is. Not because they have to say so in front of the camera, but you can tell it's a blast to work there.

[Protoman Blues]

Yes, because there is actual direction going on. It's not stale. It's not just one huge blue room over and over again. They have actual sets to work on, with set pieces, with locale, with real actual things to look at and interact with. It's just so [tornado fang]ing refreshing.

[Protoman Blues]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Phi]

Damn, I'm in love with that poster.

[Quickman]

Time for me to start building the shanty town in front of the theater!

*sets up tent*

[Protoman Blues]

New trailer tomorrow night!

[Fxeni]

That's pretty awesome! I can't help but notice the distinct lack of Luke though... curious

[Quickman]

He's hiding in Leia's hair, obviously.

Finally finished my rewatch of all 6 Star Wars films in prep for Episode 7 (Intentionally went for the special editions in this case for 4-6). Here's what I took away from it:

-Episode 1 really wasn't all terrible, a bit boring and slow especially once they hit Coruscant but at least it wasn't a complete Blue-Screen fest. Darth Maul fight was still the highlight. I do like how they went and replaced that really bad Yoda with a CGI one, at least it matches the rest of the prequels.
-Episode 2 was probably worse than Episode 1, the Geonosis stuff was alright though. I think Lego Star Wars' Cliffnotes version where they cut out 90% of Anakin/Padme stuff was far more entertaining.
-Episode 3 was still pretty good, I forgot how long that last fight actually got though holy [parasitic bomb].
-Episode 4 is Episode 4, the CGI is a bit overdone and I don't know why there were so many of those Beaked camel things in Mos Eisley, other than that the Battle of Yavin was a bit sharper looking. Still the same movie just with a few unnecessary additions.
-Episode 5 didn't really change too much save for the Wampa and adding a bunch of "Open" areas to Bespin. Still a great movie.
-Episode 6... Jedi Rocks just continued to hammer in the "Jabba puts really gross things in really revealing clothing" thing that I didn't really think needed to be hammered in. Jedi's my favorite movie in the original trilogy, Jabba's Palace is great for the set design, the creatures and Jabba himself, not for how many people or things he shoves in metal bikinis. Other than that I actually liked the addition of the victory celebration.

Episode 7's looking more and more enticing as it comes closer.

[Protoman Blues]

I hate Jedi Rocks because Lapti Nek is a much much much much better song.

[Police Girl]

Yeah, its worth mentioning that while I can still hum the tune from Lapti Nek I can't even remember how Jedi Rocks sounded because I was already visually assaulted by Circa-1997 CGI.

[irgpie]

I will say that on the other hand, special edition's ending celebration theme was way better. Though only the in-movie one.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeaaaaah, while I do like the new ending, I will always love Yub Nub. 

[Protoman Blues]

Also, I love that almost everyone I know watching this Monday Night Football game is waiting for halftime to watch the new trailer!!!

[Police Girl]

Wait that's when they're premiering the trailer?

[Protoman Blues]

Yeeeeeeeeep. Disney owns ESPN, so it makes sense.

[Phi]

Disney will eventually own everything, at this rate.

[Protoman Blues]

It's halftime now!

[Protoman Blues]

OH
MY
GOD.

OH MY [tornado fang]ing GOD!!!!!
