Star Wars VII-IX, what do you think?

[Zoid]

I'm somewhat optimistic, after all it must be better than I-III. JJ Abrams has done good things to reboot Star Trek, maybe he can shake up Star Wars as well...

I take you're less than thrilled BUncle?

[Buster's Uncle]

I can never watch that Star Track thingy he shat out as a non-Star Trek fan, but it seemed loud and dumb and not a good movie to me.

I daresay there'll be no pod racing, though.

One of the the quirks about BU is he is a bittervet™ when it comes to anything Trek or Wars. If it ain't the real Kirk it does not exist in his universe. This applies also to Picard and crew. TNG/VOY/DS9 is not trek. I have tried to explain how TNG is just a better Trek, but it does not work. You can troll him like sisko does through a TNG/VOY/DS9 era avatar. Bonus if it is from ENT or JJ Abrahms.

I like the style JJ used for Star Trek even if the fan in me barfs at this alternate timeline garbage. However, Star Trek's bible is a thousand times larger and more restrictive than Star Wars' is. Yeah, Star Wars has novels and the EU, but we can feel free to not have to go by the EU novels. He will not be bound creatively.

He does not need to change Star Wars' style like he did with Trek. He will have nerd revolts if he does. Trek, you can sort of get away with that because Trek changes style all the time. Star Wars does not.


I do one bad thing... we will not be getting as many movies if just one guy handles both franchises.

He's also baiting me with the pod racing, but we've gone over that enough in the other thread. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Am not. 

I just think the pod race was loud and dumb and - I take that back, come to think of it; he'll probably have at least two.

[Green1]

Back on topic without putting BU and Uno back in the nerdrage steel cage...

I DO think that if JJ goes full Star Wars, we may have the chance to have Trek go back to TV with the new cast.

Do not worry, eve the best analysts admit if it happens, you will get back to a more cerebral/ social exploration style. Mix it with the character development of DS9, I see a hit.

Oh yeah... nerds QQ less. Episodes 1-3 are fine. Episode 3 I will put up against Return of the Jedi any day.

[Green1]

The pod race was fine. The only thing I did not like was that I thought Jabba the Hut did not look right compared with how he looked i Return of the Jedi. Niether did I like how he looked when Lucas put him in A New Hope while he was tinkering with things that probably should have been left as is.

[Buster's Uncle]

If I didn't know better, I'd accuse you of being very young.  Loud and dumb, I say - bored me to tears and did little to advance the plot.

Also, take that back about me being a SW bittervet™.  You must have me confused with someone else.

[Green1]

I would... but bittervet is not a bad thing. It adds color.

[Buster's Uncle]

Show me where I've demonstrated bitterness about Star Wars other than Revenge of the Jedi then.

The bitterness was towards Star Trek. If you have Star Wars bitterness, you have yet to reveal that to the Jedi, compadre.

Do not get uptight about it, though. I have bitterness towards some things myself.

[Buster's Uncle]

I AM still bitter about Revenge of the Jedi, mind you.

Frees Anakin
Buys ship parts
Foreshadows Anakins abilities as a pilot
Establishes bond between Anakin and Qui Gonn

yeah, nothing of value here. 

too long, drawn out, and full of errors, I'll happily concede.
