Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2
Abrams IS a hack. he never even liked star trek but repeated all the old images with added lens flares and fake looking shiny CGI bullshit.
Expect the same.
There is no love or inspiration here, just the product of a billion dollar business deal between fat cynical capitalists and later their mercenary artisitically bankrupt stooge for hire.
Doing anything interesting is the only way to get fired for him (see Antman).
Also, that doesn't look like han solo, anymore than the crystal skull oldie looked like indiana jones.
The problem with Lost, like Star Trek Into Darkness, wasn't JJ. It was Lindelof. The man's a hack. Fortunately, he's not writing this.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2
What's left of the child that I once was, rooted heavily in Spielberg and Lucas nonsense, emaciated and beaten with wire hangers, what's left of that child just let out a great weep of joy --
And was suddenly silenced, because of the emotional abuse that child had received at the hands of the very creators...
And I still don't forgive JJ for Lost... nor Super 8, which should have celebrated that child within, it was a poor imitation of this child of the '80s experience. It was lacking in authenticity. Almost. But no.
The important thing here is that Lawrence Kasdan is one of the screenwriters. His involvement makes this project legit, and he's working on a stand alone star wars screenplay. Though I haven't read much into it, it's likely the Han Solo film. Kasdan was a screenwriter for Empire, Jedi, and Raiders of the LA. That's what gets me excited despite my south park like reaction to the raping of Harrison Ford. Kasdan won't rape Ford... no, he couldn't!
I was a massive SW fan. I was one of the last people to admit that the prequels were terrible. I kept lying to myself that they were good.
Also, I am on record as hating JJ Abhrams... especially the 2 new Star Treks. So I wasn't happy at all when he got this gig.
So I kinda want to hate this. I've been disappointed before, and I want to get my scorn in early.
But I just can't.
THAT TRAILER IS GODDAMN AWESOME.
And when Han and Chewie appeared, I nearly shed a tear. I really hope the movie is *quality.
Breathtaking Sun Halo
Anyone else read this as "Breathtaking Han Solo"?
Flipped Tortoise Gets a Helping Hand
If only it had been Han Solo sitting across the table, Leon could have gotten an early retirement.
It lies there, its belly baking in the hot desert sun. But you're not helping. Why is that?
There's a Secret Vehicle on the Millennium Falcon!
I agree, but to play devil's advocate here are two counterpoints:
1) The YT-1300 was designed as a freighter, and the Millennium Falcon only became a capable warship after pretty extensive modification by Lando and Han Solo. So, perhaps some of those flaws can be justified with "not really intended to be a combat vessel" rationale.
2) Or even ignoring that, shielding seems to be established as being much more important than armor plating around wires and pipes in the Star Wars universe. TIEs (at least the lower models) have no shielding whatsoever, and the only thing that separates them from just being pure cannon fodder is size, agility, and numbers.
But even in medium fighters that DO have shields, it seems like they at best protect against a very low number of glancing hits -- we see X and Y wings with shields go down after 1-2 hits a LOT in the movies. In that scenario, I guess there isn't a whole lot of need to slow yourself down with heavy armor plating that might let you survive another hit if you are lucky. Kinda like how modern police officers and soldiers don't wear heavy steel plate armor; they either wear kevlar (think "shields") or nothing but clothing/uniform.
So, maybe the larger ships in Star Wars stock up on shields and aren't too fussed about physically covering up systems -- once the shields are down you're pretty much toast anyway.
I love the Millennium Falcon... one of the greatest spaceships in sci-fi. But watching it closely, it has some stupid design flaws... all that wiring and pipes and whatnot totally exposed.
David Blaine: Real or Magic with Harrison Ford
You keep thinking that then if you'd like. As I watched this, when he asked what card he was thinking of I thought to myself 'nine of hearts'- NO SHIT
Somewhere embedded in his technique is the answer to the suggestion
Metaprogrammings' a motherfucker.
Anyone else??
Or wait....Maybe it's simply having seen this before and the 9 of hearts was already there, locked into the folds of the hippo-campus/cerebral cortex highway? Don't recall ever having seen this before...
Either ways...If David Blaine came over, I'd prolly tell him what Han Solo here told him BEFORE he had a chance to mind-fuck me..The difference? It wouldn't be......"ACTING!!!"
Seriously though, y'all really thought that Blaine was being rudely and cruelly ejected from his home?? C'mon people...suspend your disbelief for the sake of your hearts and get over yourselves....all he said was the 'eff' word.
"Next up: Blaine will bury himself in the permafrost of Antarctica in a steaming-hot bubble-bath of human blood and for forty days and forty nights with but a single meal-worm to snack on for the duration. When he rises from his ghoulish and self-imposed sarcophagus he will have drunk all the contents of the bathtub...But first, this commercial interruption to your body's natural vibrations."
... obviously a suggestion technique... quite cunning though... He suggests the 9 of hearts constantly somehow and make him only come up with that through suggestion. The rest is simple. I concur, terrible reaction... almost to much, kinda forced...
Liron Man - Hang Solo (2008 - Suzan Dalal)
Poor Han Solo. Oh wait...
Firefly proves "darn" is more badass than "This is Sparta!"
You can't compare Picard and Mal. Picard had a prestigious position in a federation that had a fairly rigid moral code. Picard wasn't barely getting by. He represented the best of humanity during the best of times. Mal, on the other hand, was living under a totalitarian regime and was barely keeping food on the table. His life was a struggle. It would make more sense to compare him to Han Solo, Robin Hood, or other "thieves with hearts of gold".
>> ^Raaagh:
>> ^Kreegath:
Why must the heroes of today be such villains? Whatever happened to the old kind of heroes, who were actually promoting ideals and not cold-blooded murder?
Neither this nor the Sparta scene referenced sparked the kind of admiration in me that it apparently did in the majority. It just felt disgustingly nonchalant of human life.
Old kind of heros?
Like Hercules? Achillies?
I think society would be contemptibly evil if all we watched was Christmas specials.
Captain Picard is a nearly impeccable hero.

"I know." --Hans Solo
Who was the best Star Trek Captain? (User Poll by gorgonheap)
See, Picard is the best captain in the series, but a shit captain in the movies, because he acts like Kirk in the movies. Kirk isn't a good captain, he's a good Han Solo-captain, a loose cannon, a scoundrel, a scruffy nerf-herder. Picard is a fucking space ship captain and acts like it.

Sounds like you've still got hibernation sickness.

Han Solo being a dick in new Star Wars deleted scene

I actually like this. Han Solo being a bit of dick is part of his character, and this works.
