Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 JJ Abrams talks about the new lightsaber and other Episode 7 mattersHe doesn't look terribly interested.KarolHe looked oddly tired and uninterested. Not in the mood to be badgered by fanboy reporters perhaps. That's what I'm thinking. He didn't seem disinterested to me; more just tired and a little annoyed with the same questions he's been getting for ages. Occasionally, though, while he's talking about something he's really excited about, you can see it shine through. He's in the hunt, but I think he's probably pretty overwhelmed right now . . . and he's running short on patience with the fanboy thing (as hilariously demonstrated when the interviewer calls the next movie Star Trek: Adventures in Space, and J.J. says, "That actually sounds like a great title"—then shares a look with the rest of us that tells us what he really thinks: ).Abrahms must be tired of trying to close all leaks.If fanboys had some crumbs he would not be so assaulted with the same stupid questios all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put a three-second shot of a newly styled lightsaber into the preview and has endured months of fanboys sending him design schematics for why it would and wouldn't work.

A24 4,333 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The crossguard lightsaber is a bad sign though. It's like giving the Millennium Falcon a brake parachute. There's an earthly familiarity to it that I don't want in Star Wars. There's no need to mess with a good design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah, that was confirmed back in the original IMAX announcment, maybe about a year ago. If I recall correctly, it also confirmed that it was in the desert, so a lot of fan speculation on Twitter is that it will be the scene including the Falcon shot we saw in the trailer.

nightscape94 965 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Williams himself thought the first one was just going to be a little Saturday afternoon movie for kids and nothing more, and in a pretty significant way his score elevated it to something more important. To the earlier films credit, the characters/actors were interesting enough, and the story was executed in such a way, that the level could be sustained without seeming stale over the next two movies. The music continued to make the fantasy real.Now that SW and the music is so ingrained in our culture and consciousness, let's see that they can deliver something good. The product is established, it's not going to be incredibly new. But they can't rest on their laurels. They can't just rely on name recognition and music all the time to save the day. I don't expect the second-coming either, I just want a good movie with newish ideas that expand the world they inhabit. It can be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean1700 4 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Does anyone know if there's been any word on whether Disney has approached Fox to use the Fox fanfare at all?Every time I hear Alfred Newman's now famous fanfare I always think about the opening Star Wars main title theme so I'm wondering if Disney has paid Fox for its use, just like any other product placement agreement or if there is some other agreement in place that would see the Fox fanfare included into the new movie.
