Administrator Toups Posted November 9, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, apparently, he done some lectures/conferences/discussions on SW. http://www.vulture.com/2012/11/star-wars-episode-vii-may-have-found-its-writer.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Reportedly, J.J. Abrams WILL be directing episode 7! http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2013/01/24/j-j-abrams-set-to-direct-star-wars-episode-vii/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 25, 2013 Administrator Share Posted January 25, 2013 Nice! Happy for JJ Abrams since he's a huge SW fan. I have to laugh at the SW vs ST rivalry and now JJ gets to direct both franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 Interesting that he's doing Star Wars 7. Wasn't my first two choices (Steven Spielberg and Brad Bird), but he was my third. JJ back in Nov flat out denied he'd be doing SW7 and sticking with Trek. What changed his mind? Was it too big an opportunity to pass up (JJ himself has said he loves SW more that ST) or did Disney offer him a boat load of cash? I read some Star Trek forums. They seem quite split. Half are pissed as hell and feel betrayed (which I understand), the other half are ecstatic JJ is leaving and feel that JJ never was the right choice for Star Trek and never "got" it and tried to turn Star Trek into Star Wars.

Members Ann_SS Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 I am confident in JJ Abrams as a director, but VII means recasting Luke, Hans, Leia. I think most of the Star Trek recasts were very good so we'll see what happens with VII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 Not necessarily. I thought they said this one was going to take place way after episode 6, so couldn't it be the original cast? I'm not a Star Wars fan so I don't know, I'm just going on what I read.

Members wingwalker Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 Before it was announced George Lucas was selling to Disney, rumors popped up he was making new Star Wars films and they'd be set way in the future wouldn't be connected to previous six films. Since the announcement, however the most common rumors/theory is that Episode 7 would take place about 30 years after 6 (which is about how long 6 and 7 would be made apart) and they would use the original actors and it would be a "pass of the baton"of sorts to their offspring/next generation. Have the "Big 3" (Luke, Leia, Han) returning, but not being the main focus and having one of the "Big 3" dying in Episode 7 similar to how Obi Wan died in A New Hope, passing baton onto Luke.

Members DRW50 Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 I hope this won't be recasts. I'd rather they bring in new characters. I don't think recasting works. I thought McCoy and Kirk and Uhura in the last movie were all jarringly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted January 27, 2013 Members Share Posted January 27, 2013 Well he was going for a very, very different Star Trek and he did it well IMHO. I loved his version despite not being able to get into other version of Star Trek, no matter how hard I try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
