I liked Episode I, smart guy, don't even pretend I'm hard to please.

I just think that thing's goofy-looking and lazy. It looks like a portable omelet griddle on top of a soccer ball. Not sure what kind of functional basis such a droid would have, if any. I mean, MOST Star Wars droids don't look like they do or could do particularly anything at all, but that one looks crummy, to me.

BB8? As in Beach ball? Mmkay, J.J. lol And the guy with the crossguard lightsaber is Kylo Ren, right? Not bad. Doesn't exactly send chills down my spine as far as villain names go, but guess we gotta get to know him first. At first, I thought my screen reader said Mylo. Now that really made me shudder until I had it spell the word after turning off the microwave. Kylo works, I guess, but a Darksider named Mylo?

It could probably be a pet. A droid made for families that don't want the responsiblity.

I just hope Abrams' camera man has cut back on his caffeine intake.

So cool, releasing the names like that. Love it! My two year old son loves watching the trailer, and most of all he loves the robot, ("Bee-boop bee-boop!") but is a bit scared of the Stormtroopers. ("Stormpoopers!")

I'm so excited that in three or four years time, the two of us are going to be hitting the cinema to catch new Star Wars movies.

A Star Wars web series is coming. Supposadly this will mostly be a news thing set in the SW Universe. We get to learn the gossip and fashions of episode 7 or something.

Really pumped about this news.

Quote:
This is an unexpected yet awesome piece of Star Wars news to kick off the year of The Force Awakens. Twitch is reporting that three of the main actors from Gareth Evans’ The Raid and The Raid 2 have roles in J.J. Abrams‘ Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The actors in question are the lead actor Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian (who played Mad Dog and Prakoso in the films) and Cecep Arif Rahman, who played “The Assassin” and fought in the kitchen finale of the sequel.

Nothing beyond that is known but /Film sources have hinted to us one of the film’s action sequences might have been choreographed by the team. Read more about The Raid Star Wars news below.

Gary Whitta no longer attached to write the Star Wars Spin-Off movie, Apparently he turned in a 1st draft. Could it be that Lucasfilm did not liked it? This isnt the first time this happened, someone was originally attached to write episode 7, and then they decided to dump him for someone else.

Gary Whitta previously wrote Book of Eli and After Earth.

I don't think this is like Arndt getting the boot. That said, I can't believe Lucasfilm hired him in the first place after his fanboy rant against Lucas a couple years ago.

Arndt turned in a script that JJ Abrams did not like, Which is why they hired the writer for TESB to do it, So it's possible Lucasfilm has read it, and it wasn't to there standards.

This could be a good thing, They can hire a better writer for it, after all, This dude wrote After Earth.

I'm aware of what happened with Arndt. This seems different. The THR article was essentially a press release from Lucasfilm with comments from Whitta and Edwards. Nothing like that happened with Arndt. Whitta has also had another project lined up for a few months.

That's cute that you think Whitta was the problem with After Earth.

Wait, what? Episode 7 doesn't come out till 2017? I thought it was coming out in December 2015! I thought we had a new Star Wars movie this year.

When was it delayed? How did I miss this news?
