There has been some big Star Wars news this month.( Star Wars!!!!)
First, the new trailer was released for final season of Disney HD's Rebels. If you have never seen this show, you should check it out. Not only is it canon, some of its characters have been seen & mentioned in Rogue One. In addition, rumor has it that more of characters will find their way into new Star Wars Universe. Oh and it has Admiral Thrawn. He is an awesome villain and one of the my personal favorites....
Then, news leaked that Episode IX would be delayed by nearly seven months. The final episode in original Star Wars saga was originally set to be released on May 24, 2019. After ousting director Colin Trevorrow, this was bound to happen. Honestly, I was actually relieved...
First; I do not want the studio to rush the production of this very important movie (for me and every other geek I know.. including my kids). I want them to take their time and get it right!
Second; I was thrilled to hear that Colin Trevorrow had been removed as director. I would wait an entire extra year if it meant he was as far, far away from the Star Wars Galaxy as possible. Although I loved his first movie Safety Not Guaranteed, I hated Jurassic World more than any movie in recent memory. I actually laughed out loud on more than one occasion. After movie ended, I asked to large group of friends I was with two questions; How hell did that woman run around in the muddy jungle in giant high heels? And was the writer/director kidding? I honestly thought the movie may be a parody of itself a la Gremlins 2. Sadly, I found that it was not a parody. I couldn't stand the idea of this goof ruining Star Warsthat way.
Next, a first cameo in The Last Jedi has been confirmed. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is going to voice an alien in film slated to be released on December 15...I am still mad that no-one has produced a Nightwing film starring Levittt; so this will have to do for now!
J.J. Abrams is going to return to co-write and direct Episode IX.
I am thrilled:...
Why am I so excited...?
I loved The Force Awakens. I thought it was perfect bridge between crusty old fans like me & the whole new generation of fans like my daughter (my son has been a crusty old fan since birth)...
This will finally settle an on-going debate between me & some of my friends. Some of my pals think that Abrams is the hack who merely ripped off the entire story of Star Wars, added some new characters and effects, and passed it off as something new. I argue that it was the perfect reboot of the saga. It was the bridge I mentioned earlier. If Episode IX features non-blinking giant Teddy Bears & the scene of Rey dragging Kylo Ren out of a crumbling Starkiller base... then I was wrong. If it is completely original (as I anticipate) then I was right and I can rub it in my friends' stupid faces. Oh wait. I mean I can have a civil discourse with them and accept my victory with dignity and class: and then rub it in their stupid faces...
I am not a Star Trek purest. Many Trekkies feel that Abrams destroyed their beloved universe. On the other hand, I thought he rebooted , modernized and improved Star Trek (please don't shoot me with a phaser). But I can't argue with them. If anyone who has loved Star Trek from birth says Abrams ruined Star Trek for them... who am I to tell them otherwise? Luckily I don't feel that way, so I am filled with hope that he will nail Episode IX.
One thing is for sure, it is a glorious time to be a Star Wars fan.
