    Wojo reacted to Captain_Ken in Disney to produce new Star Wars film   
    I see Lucasfilm has announced that Disney will be producing a seventh Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Episode VII. No timeline has been given, but I hope John Williams is still around to write the music. Any new SW trilogy wouldn't be the same without him.

    Chris Pine has been Kirk. He will soon be Jack Ryan. He needs only be cast as Luke Skywalker to complete his nerd trio.

    I thought Super 8 was about as dull as the boring Spielbergian movies it tried to emulate.

    Joey: All right, Rach. The big question is, "does he like you?" All right? Because if he doesn't like you, this is all a moo point.
    Rachel: Huh. A moo point?
    Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.

    Wojo got a reaction from Gruesome Son of a Bitch in Most memorable moment from a film scored by John Williams?   
    Fair enough. Han does say "I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now" but these Corellian ships are not shown in Star Wars. We never see the ships that Han mentions, but it's doubtful that the ships we do see are instead the "local bulk cruisers." The Imperial-I clas Star Destroyers seen in Star Wars and the Imperial-II Star Destroyers seen in TESB and ROTJ are made by Kuat Drive Yards, which is not located at Corellia; Corellian Engineering Corporation built fast ships, like the Millennium Falcon and her sister transport ships, but not the Star Destroyers that we see in the movies. The other classes of ships that the Empire uses are added in the expanded universe.
    The wedge-shaped Star Destroyers seen in Star Wars are not named until The Empire Strikes Back when Derek 'Hobbie' Klivian asks "Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?" when the Rebels try to flee Hoth. Later Threepio begins to declare the odds of successfully surviving an attack on Imperial Star Destroyer before being told to shut up. Curiously, when fleeing Bespin, Leia points to Vader's Super Star Destroyer in The Empire Strikes Back but says only "star destroyer." This ship is never named as Executor in either it or its sequel, and even Vader only calls it his "star destroyer" in the added scene in the Special Edition.
    And then, of course, Lando Calrissian and Admiral Ackbar explicitly say "star destroyers" when they talk about engaging them at point blank to evade the Death Star II's fire in Return of the Jedi. Since this term is used in the plural, it's clear that they mean the "normal" sized vessels instead of Vader's enormous flagship. Ackbar properly names this when he gives the order "Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer!"
    So the ship's term in Star Wars is retconned in based on the sequels. Same as Tatooine. It seems that half of Star Wars takes place on that planet, but it is not spoken until The Empire Strikes Back and seen in ROTJ's title crawl. Not counting the prequels and novelizations, of course.

    Outstanding points, all. Looks like you caught me using an analogy that was shaky at best. I'll stand on my central point, though: saying Star Wars "no longer exists" takes it a step too far.
    Love your "CGI" additions to the epics, too. Very creative! (Might be fun to think about what Lucas would do to those classics if he got his paws on them. . . .)

    WTF?
    Are you even aware of how offensive that is? (for those who don't know, Breivik was the man who shot and killed 77 people in Norway last year, among them kids and teenagers).
    Untill you apologize for that, I will have nothing to do with you from this point on.
    I'm also asking the moderators to kindly remove the comment. Maybe even lock the thread as well. That was it for me.
