[Movies] Star Wars: Episode VII

[sixpackshaker]

I wonder if any of the original cast besides Anthony Daniels will get walk-on cameos or more.

Then will it be recast Luke, Leia etc. or the original actors playing the parents of the new crop heroes.

Hey, Tattooine's got two suns.

That means TWICE the lens flare!

Psht, that's nothing. Lightsabers give off light. Imagine the lens flare potential there!

The battle at the end of Episode 2, with the hundreds of Jedi? That could've been nothing but lens flare, you know.

(And probably would've improved that scene)

My God, it's full of lens flare...

can we make lens flare jokes bannable

 

[BananaHands]

Is no one talking about Voyager and goddamn Janeway?

Show wasn't perfect, but I dug it.

It is just too bad we can't ban CGI lens flare.

[sixpackshaker]

I wish she would have acted more naturally in the show, instead of doing a 4 year impression of Kate Hepburn.

This information pleases me, for reasons I can't really talk about sadly.

Now when I talk to my friends I can be "Yup, I helped make that movie possible."

I'm one of the few people that liked Voyager over DS9 (I liked it better when it was called Babylon 5 and done by the guy who actually pitched the idea ).

I have a confession, but my wife and I loved Voyager. It's the only one out of the various Star Trek series that we actually will watch all the way through. The others were always hit or miss some seasons.

 

[North_Ranger]

I, too, enjoy Voyager. Mostly because of everything else than Janeway. But I still consider DS9 superior of the two shows. High drama, Klingons, bumbling Ferengi, massive schemes, awesome space battles... all they needed was Seven of Nine's ass to blow my brainpan.

 

[Bowielee]

The main reason I liked Voyager over DS9 (other than the aforementioned idea theft) was that it was closer to the spirit of TOS and TNG in that it was a ship out exploring unexplored territory.

True, true. Some of my favourite episodes are those when they are just out in space, encountering strange new phenomena. Like the region of space where there were no stars visible; Harry Kim sitting on the bridge alone, playing his instrument (can't remember the English name for it right now), that was one quite touching scene.

As a show building up the different cultures and alien races of the Alpha Quadrant, however, DS9 is a tough challenger to beat.

 

[Bowielee]

I'm still of the mind that the main reason people hate on Voyager is the "wussification" of the Borg.

 

[Frank]

That and episodes like Threshold too.

Badly written episode, but on the other hand, it did win an Emmy for outstanding makeup effects.

 

[Frank]

Polishing a turd still leaves a turd.

Threshold is worse than Spock's Brain and Spock's Brain might as well be an Ed Wood movie.

I don't think the show wussified the Borg. Hell, I think they made them even more fucking terrifying. Well, save for the Deus Ex Machina final episode... but somehow the idea of a millennia-old collective emotionlessly harvesting both civilizations and individuals, adding them as mindless drones to their numberless ranks of terrifying drone troopers flying around in ships that are only a hairbreadth short of indestructible* is not my idea of "wussy".

My personal issue with Voyager was that some of the main characters were about as engaging and interesting as a half-eaten piece of toast. Janeway and Neelix, mainly. I'd also list Tuvok, but being stoic and unemotional is kind of the Vulcans' hat.

*Unless you're Species 8472.

 

[Frank]

I don't think Voyager wussifed the borg by themselves. First Contact started that ball rolling with the queen.

 

[fade]

I couldn't get past the annoying Dax character on DS9. She was just off-putting. WE GET IT. You used to be a dude. Congratulations.

 

[Frank]

She used to be several dudes and chicks too.

 

[North_Ranger]

I thought she was funny... especially when she started flirting with Worf. "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places" is still one of my favourite episodes, mainly for Bashir going "you know what, I don't even want to know" when first Quark and his crush, and then Worf and Jadzia show up at the clinic, all banged up and smiling in a way that just screams "I just got laid"

 

[ScytheRexx]

I didn't mind Threshold as an episode, but it did annoy the crap out of me that for most episodes after that, I couldn't stop thinking "My god... you two had amphibian sex..." whenever Janeway and Paris were on the screen together.

 

[figmentPez]

I liked Dax.

Or maybe I just liked Terry Farell.

 

[WasabiPoptart]

Star Wars Stand Alone Movies Announced.

 

[Necronic]

Dax was an awesome character. Also the day there is an episode like "In the Pale Moonlight" or "All Good Things" for Voyager is the day I consider it to be part of the franchise.

Episode VII to be shot on traditional film instead of digitally.

Next you're going to be telling me that there will be actual sets. Or a plot. IT'S MADNESS!

 

[Espy]

Episode VII is supposedly going to focus on the new Galactic Congress and how Luke and Leia are both elected to it and have to deal with all the red tape to actually get a bill passed. WITH LENS FLARES.

Thats the current rumor.

With Jar Jar Binks providing the necessary street cred, I presume?
