mrbellamy 6,293 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 It was a few times, apparently:http://www.slashfilm.com/jj-abrams-talks-about-the-genesis-of-super-8/http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2011/06/jj-abrams-super-8http://entertainment.time.com/2011/06/06/super-8-director-jj-abrams-interview/I remember Reeves talked about it during a Dawn of the Planet of the Apes interview last summer. That's when I first heard it.It was also mentioned in this DGA interview, where Abrams and James Cameron interviewed Spielberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,346 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It's too easy and way too mushy for Han. Also, it feels like something out of Indiana Jones And The Crystal Skull, where the characters themselves are touched by the movie, you know, as if THEY are the audience.

Not Mr. Big 4,641 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 "Snoke" is far too silly for Star Wars. It just won't fit in with dignified names like Han Solo, General Grievous, and Count Dooku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,346 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Anyway, what would the real Han Solo say? Well, maybe he would think it, almost pronounce the line, but then he would see Chewie's joy and therefore he would reduce the moment by saying something cynical like: "It's just a ship, Chewie, don't get everything wet." (but the audience knows that deep down Han is exited too)That's what made Han Solo interesting, folks, and not this self-aware mushy around business.Alexandre DarthDementous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,346 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thank you for understanding that Han Solo was boring in ROTJ, crocs. I almost couldn't believe 'the change' when I first saw that film in 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,484 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Ah HA!Snoke May Be Darth Plagueis In this new Sequel Trilogy.That's the only evil character that can be much powerfull than Palpatine... as he eventually suceeded in cheating death.And that's the only treat that can really awaken the Force in an unexpected way....And remember that, in a certain point of view, Plagueis is the grandfather of Luke and Leia.

Brónach 1,302 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Nah, I think they'll just kill him here in a Obi-Wan-like way in the middle of the film. Remember, Abrams looooves the original film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
