STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Start Date Revealed

OOtini!

This movie and BvS need to start announcing stuff and showing stuff ASAP. The wait is killing me!!!

Yeah thats good to know but what about casting!?

Sounds great! Can't wait.

I just beg, pray, and hope that the story and characters are all ORIGINAL.

[frick] THE EXPANDED UNIVERSE. THAT SHIT SUCKS!!!

YES! There has to be casting news soon...I mean, it's killing us.


I hope this movie can stay with some of the EU material (the characters mostly), but stills finds a way to be original. I believe there is a way to please people who love the EU and people who either don't like it or people who don't know about and still make a good movie.

Replacing ardnt with jj and kasdan from the original series brings this movie great hope :)

It would've been cool to have this be a summer movie but I guess December will do and @JoJo1982 I feel the same exact way. But I'm still interested though cause it's Star Wars....

@Duke Uh, dude... it says May THROUGH September.

@DukeNukem Actually it says it'll start shooting in Mid-May and run through September.

Sometimes its better to hope the film is bad in order to prevent further disasters down the line. The likelihood of 6 bad films in the new series is a lot more likely than 6 good films.

@Scarilian IF they did make six more films, I would still hope they are good. One good film doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to make six more films. Two more? Yes. Six more? I wouldn't bet money on that.

Besides, for me personally, I want to see a good Star Wars film no matter what it means down the road.

The summer 2015 to summer 2016 period is gonna be the greatest.

One movie to rule them all!

I also remember being excited in the mid 90's when Lucas announced the prequels and feeling let down with Episode one,but I really enjoyed Episode 3 and felt it was a better Star Wars film then Return of The Jedi. As someone who watched all the original films during their first theatrical runs,it sometimes was easy to forget that when I watched the first film in 77,I was looking at them with a child's sense of wonder and adventure.In 80,I was 12 and Luke's first real steps in the journey to manhood matched my own.In 83,I had just finished the first year of high school and Luke's completion of his quest to become a Jedi seemed to offer some hope that I too could make it through that troubled painfully awkward time in my life by finding out who I really was.

By the time the first prequel had arrived in 1999, I was a man of 31,caught up in adult life as a husband and father
beginning to settle down with a house and a career. I no longer could look at Star Wars with wonder, only a cynical eye towards how great things used to be.Point is,these new films can never be as good as the originals but they can still be good if they are good movies on their own account.

I really hope to god I never end up like grif.It seems nothing geek related appears to bring him joy,yet he continues to bless us with his takes on everything.One just wants to say,"What is the point if you seem to hate everything,most of which you haven't even seen yet?"

can't be any worse than the prequels,i say bring it on.
