Mr. Hakujin Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Yea fan fiction should make for great movies. Especially when the effects are rushed. Meh. Technically anything not written by Lucas is "fan fiction," no? A lot of that has been novelized or serialized in comics over the decades. Zahn got three pretty good books out of his "fan fiction."

Iambaytor Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I trust star wars fans to write a good star wars sequel about as much ad I trust Quentin Tarantino fans to make a good pulp fiction ripoff. What made star wars work (and what has sunk countless sequels, spinoffs, and ripoffs) is that it wasn't trying to ape itself. Lucas culled bits from sword and sorcery movies, Hollywood westerns, samurai movies, drive-in SciFi movies and combined them together into one small narrative. Star wars was not the ultimate fantasy action movie, it was the ultimate tribute and that's why it worked. Anybody at this point is just writing a tribute to star wars, cannibalizing the already borrowed material. That's why the expanded universe (all of it!) sucks, that's why the recent trilogy sucked and that's why things like the clone wars and old republic didn't, they were star wars stories second 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) I've watched the trailer nearly ten times and it's got some definite nerdgasm moments, but it's off putting in several ways. First you've got the space ships flying in the desert and over lakes but not in space. All those iconic SW moments from our childhood had spaceships flying and battling in, ya know, space. So seeing that was different. Second, the way the film is shot is much more kinetic. That crazy tracking shot of the Falcon with the odd angles was not a traditional SW shot. I can only really think of one instance where anything like that was used in the previous six films--the opening battle over Coruscant in Episode III. And you've also got the inadvertent (?) but glaring Space Balls connection at the opening of the trailer. Â Â Â Edited November 29, 2014 by Mr. Hakujin 1-2-3-4-5.

Keth Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My interest in this has been bumped form about a 4 to a 6  Principal photography wrapped before the holidays, but more secrets keep spilling out of JJ Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The new year brings word that martial artist Iko Uwais, who kicked and sliced his way through Gareth Evans’ Indonesian action hits The Raid and The Raid 2, will appear in Star Wars alongside fellow Raid 2 performers Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman.  They're these guys    Give these motherfuckers a few lightsabers and let them go at it, then a ticket may be sold.

Mr. Hakujin Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 If this is true then it could take lightsaber fights to a whole new level. Somewhere Ray Park sits alone and sheds a single tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
