A. A. Ron 1,742 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It's not possible that it's simply a redesigned X-Wing? This is over 30 years later, it's unlikely to be exactly the same.If the wing's can't/don't make an 'X' shape, it shouldn't be called an "X-Wing."

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm glad you're not a hiring manager. Humor, it is a difficult concept.No, it's not. You just have a tendency to often pass judgment on who ought to be fired. It's one of your trademark jokes. I have my own bag of standard stale jokes, too. Certainly the fighters in the Star Wars universe would have evolved since the classic trilogy. X-Wing fighters may have gone out of production, and granted, the Z-95's are even older, being used mainly by folks poorer than the Rebellion. Maybe JJ means for the new X-Wing line to not need movable wings, but he believes that name is more important than function, ie the audience is dumb. Thanks JJ. Tapatalk doesn't seem to want to let me unlike that post. Oh Zuckerberg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Maybe the main x-wing fleet was destroyed and all they have is the old fighters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giftheck 916 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Luke didn't lose his robotic hand in ROTJ, Vader did. Luke had his hand shot and damaged. Plus, I'd have a hard time believing anything that was lost aboard DS2 was recovered.And yes, that is the ANH recording of Main Title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It's more feasible to be Luke's ESB hand and lightaber.BTW, guys i think the x-wing splits its wings differently, they join together as one, the front half is one wing and the rear half is another...i dont know if i explained myself...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 does not apply now, since all that shit has become the source of legends....Anyway...i want to see this movie... but i'm starting to feel it is going to be perfect in the desing and old ways sfx....but the story is going to be weird.I just hope that 'plot' rumour is fake because it is lame, very lame. Nobody thinking what Han Solo is doing not seeing luke for 30 years (and not caring much it seems to not look into the matter before some strangers come with a jedi relic). When he is supposed to be his brother in law. WTF happened to Carrie Fisher? ( I mean, Leia?). I can't believe they would pull a Jurassic Park III- Alan-Ellie situation here....

Jay 37,370 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 AOTC is not a Hollywood film. Strictly speaking it's an indie flick. That's true. George Lucas delivered the exact movie he wanted, no pressure from any Hollywood studio, or any outside factors really. All the producers on the film where his yes men.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Doesn't work though in reality. 'Indie' has very different connotations to what Star Wars and Lucas represent. Essentially, Star Wars is the the very epitome of Hollywood: enormous and influential American cinema. The biggest movies come out of Hollywood and you don't really get bigger movies than Star Wars.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 AOTC is worse than TPM. It looks like it was shot on some consumer grade digicam, the acting is atrocious, the plot is confusing, and even the love theme is hammy and skippable. But I rather like the rest of the score on the album.At least TPM had a relatively organic aesthetic and felt reasonably fresh in 1999. ROTS looks great on paper but the movie itself just phoned it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not holding my breath, but I'd be curious to see if it restored even the tiniest spark to his work. He used to be such a wonderful filmmaker.
