Was it really only a single decade? Wow.

It seems extremely weird to think the gap between Episode III and Episode VII was only 10 years...but it was from 2005-2015. For some reason they feel an entire lifetime apart. I'm not even sure why that is, 2005 didn't feel that long ago when 2015 hit.

I mean after Episode III nobody ever believed there would be any live-action Star Wars movie in theaters ever again. It's hard to believe it was only 10 years later...for some reason it feels closer to 20 years. God the early/mid 2000's really flew by.

I dunno... speak for yourselves, that seems like a blink of an eye to me.

Fun fact: Batman Begins came out in 2005 and Batman V. Superman came out in 2016....it's about the same timeframe and those movies/reboots feel a lifetime apart.

I’m with Cubed on this one, possibly because I was only, like, 4 in 2005.

I hope that’s a joke.

Do I really give off that middle aged man vibe?

I think I've been looking at variations of your Snake avatar for so long, mentally I imagined you as some kind of seasoned, ex-military dude.

Shush snake, you're still 11. I'm too old to grasp that you're soon eligible to drink.

Funny, I joined these forums a little after I originally turned 17. I didn't expect to still be here as a middle age man over a decade later.

Well I saw the poster and well it looks like an Episode VII poster, talk about a cluster**** of a trilogy, now everything that happened in VIII will kind of sort of be ignored and they'll go back to the road that VII started, I don't even know what to think.

I want to like Star Wars again but even going back to 7, I didn't like what they built, hell the only thing i liked about 8 was the "forget the past" theme which they ignored and 7 definitely ignored. I think between all 3 movies fans might be able to make 1 good sequel movie we can call Episode VII.

It does feel like a lifetime ago since Episode III, I think because it was the end of an era and for years Lucas swore there would never be a sequel trilogy.

Batman Begins still feels somewhat fresh to me though, same with The Dark Knight. Oddly enough Rises does seem older to me.

The first two movies in the trilogy killed off a legacy character. No doubt the new one will do the same.

I'm not saying you're wrong... but they completely shut down and regrouped after Fisher died. It's anybody's guess about... anything now.

Seriously, how bananas is it that the actors for the OT characters are all alive, but their characters are dead (or about to be, let's be real), and the ONE character who's still alive, the actress is dead?

This sh*t couldn't have been booked any more screwy if goddamn Dixie Carter AND Vince Russo spent an entire weekend trying to prove me wrong.

I loved the comment from the Red Letter Media guys.

"It's like someone shot John Lennon, McCartney and Ringo all in one night." Whoops!
