Zerimar Nyliram Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 An older article (from last year), but still poignant. "Even if you're one of those people who showed up at the midnight premier of a Star Wars movie, possibly dressed in Jedi robes and carrying a plastic lightsaber, the day will come when a Star Wars movie, a ****ing Star Wars movie has been released in theaters that you not only don't dress up for, not only don't see at midnight, but that you don't even bother seeing at all. Episode VII probably won't be that movie, but one of them will be . . ." http://www.filmbagger.com/starwars7willsuck.html Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Not just an angry nerd, but also somebody who has a deep misunderstanding of business practices. Also, he think Disney is about using Star Wars to sell merchandise? Pretty sure that George Lucas was a gazillionair even before he sold Lucasfilm because of licensing the living shit of Star Wars.

Odine Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Interesting article, but his jaded sour-puss attitude was draining by the end there. The whole build up he had about merchandising and money didn't really relate to his predictions as to WHY its gonna suck. If Disney could smash out the absolute best film they possibly could, and blow everyone away...thats gonna sell a whole lot more toys than what a mediocre film could. Shit, if they make the films good enough then ADULTS will be buying themselves action figures from Disney too. Plus he was off with his prediction about Guardians of the Galaxy so.... But I guess its good to always have a counter hype here and there to balance things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 But I guess its good to always have a counter hype here and there to balance things out. I agree in principle, but I am leery of seeing the word "balance" anywhere near Star Wars these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If the article was well written and/or the author had any idea what he's talking about, that would be one thing. But unfortunately neither is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamonAtila Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 My thoughts are they're back to X-Wings, the Millenium Falcon AND the original cast with two new black characters. So..yeah, I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberSix Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The first half seemed like an unremarkable summary of every Disney rant ever. I stopped reading as soon as I got to "Spiderman". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I just don't have the time or energy to hate things I don't know anything about anymore. Or even things I know lots about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavonis Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Of course Episode VII is going to suck. We've been hating on Star Wars films for 15 years. That's a hard habit to break. In fact, it was probably a bad idea to release any Star Wars films after ANH in 1977, and I'm not sure that even releasing that one, widely considered the least terrible one, was a good idea, since it caused all these terrible Star Wars films to be released. Frankly, if Lucas hadn't made Star Wars in the first place, we'd be better off, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
