Driver Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 According to a lot of sources, that was the breakdown between Michael Arndt's draft and the Abrams/Kasdan one. Arndt focused much more on Luke, Leia, and Han. I feel like he choked, but I hope his draft is released some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It sounds like Arndt was too much of a fan to be able to handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 100% He told them he'd need a YEAR to do a second draft. Dude totally choked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 There are a lot of creative decisions with TFA I disagree with, but having Luke appear in only the very last scene was not one of them. Definitely the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm sure it took alot of restraint from JJ and Kasdan to not essentially do what Hammill suggested. But in the end Rey needs to be the hero, not Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 darth lord hunter: For the record I loved Hamill's ideas...if the objective was to write a direct sequel to ROTJ with all the same character leads.When one of the big three wanted out, one was a known trouble spot, one was into it, and all are in their late 60s, that's not a plan for a franchise you want to grow. The hand off to the next generation makes the most sense. What a super fan wants isn't always what they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I think that might have been what DANA-kin was getting at. The idea wasn't to make a movie starring the old cast. Personally, I'm glad, as well. I feel like the EU gave more than enough Luke Skywalker saving the galaxy every three months, so seeing new characters experience the Star Wars universe is great. My only concern is that these new characters are going to get lost in the non-stop Star Wars movies. I'm already losing interest. Lucas didn't do a great job with the prequels, but he did an amazing job at making them events. TFA worked as an event because it was the first. Now Star Wars is less of an event than a new episode of Sherlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I don't get that thinking. I mean 2 hours a year is too much new Star Wars? You are losing interesting but are interested enough to spend time on a messageboard posting about Star Wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 So, any confirmation of first full trailer playing with Spider-Man: Homecoming?No, there will probably be a sizzle reel at D23, then a trailer in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are losing interesting but are interested enough to spend time on a messageboard posting about Star Wars? A pretty low percentage of my posts have been Star Wars related. And, yes, a movie a year is too much. Maybe if Marvel hadn't bored me with their release schedule, but that's the world we live in. And, yeah, see comments regarding the event status. If the stories remain good, I'll still be in. If I keep seeing the same movie over and over (Marvel), I'll turn into a "maybe on Netflix" viewer.

I loved Hamills ideas, but not for the kind of movie that was being made. A soft reboot with new characters was the objective. Hamill's ideas were much better suited for a direct sequel to ROTJ with the big three as the leads. His ideas would have been more useful 20 years ago. Making a direct sequel to ROTJ in 2015 would have been a terrible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October?! Is it just me thinking that's a very short window? Nope, that was the timing for TFA. Teaser 1 in November 2014 (which was a one-off due to it being the first new Star Wars movie in ten years), teaser 2 in April, behind the scenes reel in July, and trailer 1 in October. Rogue One had more trailers (teaser in April, behind the scenes reel in July, trailer in August, trailer 2 in October), but I think that was due to movie being an experiment of sorts.

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 There were several international trailers for both movies, but they all came out around September or October, and then all the TV spots. By first week of December everyone started whining that we'd seen too much of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
