black guy is a storm trooper who goes awol and possibly stumbles upon the lightsaber by chance. probably going to become a jedi, dunno.

Whooooooooooo Adam Driver killing it, his posture, his non-verbal body language. Can't fucking wait.

Black stormtrooper is meant to empower people.

These movies are iconic and touch millions of American lives, so yes it is propaganda in a way but black youth need good role models.

I agree with Big J's point about it being forced, but disagree that America does not need a strong moral black icon that black youth can follow in their own lives.

George Lucas was a complete and utter hack. The only reason the original trilogy were passable movies is because his input was filtered through a gauntlet of studio execs and associate producers who had veto power. Even as early as Return of the Jedi (Ewoks), Lucas's hackishness begins to bubble to the surface as the success of his franchise gave him greater creative control. Then fast forward to the new trilogy and the buck stops with Lucas. The result? Jar Jar Binks and three terrible, terrible films that just manage to coast on the power of their IP. It gives me a lot of hope for the quality of these movies knowing they've taken it away from George Lucas.

This X100. The Making of Episode 1,2,3 showed Lucas had complete control of storyline discussions. Not even a writers-room, Lucas was even writing the dialogue. The worst part? Lucas did the editing himself. He had final say on final cut, and was seen making shit decisions in post-production. I feel bad for him. Selling creative rights and the IP to Disney was admitting the IP is bigger than him and he created something he cannot maintain.

This movie looks to be everything an epic relevant Star Wars movie in 2015 should be and will blow the Prequels out of the water.

No, its not going to rewind the clock to the late 70's and early 80's. And nobody cares.

am I the only nerd who doesn't mind Ep. 1-3? There were enough memorable things about those movies that really made me look past all the jarjar-type stuff.

The pod racing scene was unexpected and awesome.
Darth maul was the first legit bad guy who could actually move and be a believable threat to two Jedi.
The battles were epic in both scale and action.
The Genosis battle specifically sticks out when all the Jedi show up.
Lots of good fights in general. 2 yoda fights, Grievus, ect.
I really enjoyed the last battle between Anakin and Obi. It was cool to see Obi-wan not give up on Anakin until the last possible second.

Dunno, I really feel those movies were more good than bad. There was definitely some awkwards things like the love connection between Anakin and that hoe. Also how quick he became evil was kinda silly. I mean he goes 0 to 60 in a way. I still can't believe he killed those younglings lol. I guess that's how you get the audience to know, this mutha fucka is for real.

I love how you mention all these things except the acting, because I an agree with you.

To me, Episode 1 was the BEST out of all the series. Best acting out of all of them, best fight scene, and my favorite Sith.

No theres a whole generation of kids that love it too.

They are going to be as shocked with the quality of the new trilogy as kids in my generation felt disappointed about the last trilogy.

Ah vindication.

I've had to spend the last 15 years of my life as a die hard star trek fan thanks to the phantom menace.

I don't know if my opinion counts because I'm not "into" Star Wars to the extent that I can recite lines and tell you off the top of my head what the numbers were on a specific X-wing fighter or some crap like that.

But I thought 1-3 were ok. There were things I didn't like but overall they sufficed as entertainment. I do have to agree with you about Anakins' corruption though. I thought that was handled very badly and just generally didn't seem all that plausible the way it played out.

god the number of betas that are boycotting this movie that would probably take this seriously and freak out about it is so high it would actually be hilarious.
