> "Doing a story that takes place nearly 30 years after Jedi meant that there would be a generation of characters for whom Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia would be as old and as mythic as the tale of King Arthur"
What is JJ on about here? 30 years is as old as King Arthur? Does he think Duran Duran is some sort of "ancient myth" because they were popular 30 years ago?
This gives me some grave concerns for the new movie /tv/...

The Jedi Order became the subject of myth and legend after 19 years.
Star Wars clearly works on a different scale
So are the prequels canon? If not this idea would make somewhat more sense
Well it wouldn't be the first time that's happened in the Star Wars universe
Jedi were viewed as mythical creatures in A New Hope when they were only exterminated a few decades before
>takes place in the future
>still has silly concepts of good and evil
the whole story is bullshit
>>63262233
Isn't Leia still an active political figure? How is she (and by extension, shit she was involved with) mythic
>>63262272
which i guess could be handwaved away by saying there were very few jedi and very few people saw them in action. but really lucas was a hack and abrams is one also.
in the end the new movies don't have to be good because people will see them and they make money. parents will buy their kids wide hipped finn action figures and that is what star wars was really about anyway

not even 2 I think Luke was about 18 in a New Hope.
>>63262362
it takes place in the past though
>>63262402
to be fair to JJ
I thought his first Star Trek film was okay, but into derpness was shit.

Your credibility just went out the fucking airlock.
>>63262464
Why haven't we found any spaceships on earth if that's the case you fucking retard?
>>63262402
And one character says "I'm just a doctor damn it"
What's your point
>>63262272
yeah but that was also fucking dumb
>>63262491

feels good fám

>>63262488
Probably because of it being in a far away galaxy?
>>63262488
The fuck are you even talking about? The fucking fake movie spaceships? Literally kill yourself, kid.
>>63262272
> hokey religions
> you can't frighten us with your sorcerers ways
Everyone seemed to know what Jedi were in a New Hope, the just held them in utter contempt.
>>63262481
long time ago relative to what? billions of years in the future?
>>63262630
Change dealers. Your drugs are bad.
Luke ran away like a faggot and didn't train any jedi, so nobody thinks they're real.
>>63262669
>we will never get the EU Jesus Jedi Luke
>>63262233
Considering duran duran got their name from a character in the 1960s space opera Barbarella he was probably tryinh to emulate their mythic origins
>>63262491
Star Trek is an atheistic paradise, due to Gene having a hate boner for religion. "Oh my god" isn't even conceivable in the context of Star Trek's society where religion hasn't been relevant for a long as time.
>>63262233
It's more... who are they to someone in the middle of fucking nowhere. Not who are they in general. What good is a hero to a no one.
I now want a movie based on the tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table with the main roles played by Duran Duran. Maybe with Spandau Ballet as villains.

Surprisingly compelling

This is nothing compared to the bartender charging Kirk for his drink at the beginning. As in currency. As in operating under a monetary system.

nigga it's a whole fucking galaxy no duh it's a different scale
