Your next Star Wars director.
Abandon fucking ship. What the fuck happens to Abrams?
Get adblock you nigger
>>63922987
He was always only going to direct TFA you slowpoke faggot
At least get your facts straight
>>63922987
How do we still have these threads when it was announced that Abrams was only doing the first movie almost 2 years ago?
>>63922987
>looper, brick and some of my favourite episodes of breaking bad
I think it'll be fine
Is Colin Trevorrow still directing the third one? It really seemed like a reactionary move to put him in charge, there's absolutely no guarantee he can replicate what happened with Jurassic World.
>>63922987
>the director of Fly and Ozymandias
B A S E D
Literally going to be amazing
>>63923430
As of today, yes, with another Rian Johnson script.
>>63923430
he looks like a hipster.
>>63922987
Explain why he's a bad writer and director.
>expecting a masterpiece trilogy by Abrams
Get these no name fucking directors
Annnnd dropped. Fuck well that blows.
>>63923759
He's a literal who. Brick was okay but his only other venture into sci fi was fucking awful.
>>63923099
If the OP's post wasn't a dead giveaway that he's a retard, see the iPhone.
>>63923978
>Annnnd dropped.
I'm sure the movies will do just fine without you
>>63923670
he lives in Vermont
What's with this phone meme? Are there really people posting on 4chan who don't own computers?
>>63923978
>masterpiece trilogy by Abrams
He'll only ruin the next few movies.
>>63923978
Absolute melt
>>63922987
Rian can at least do original stuff unlike JJ who only does tributes, sequels or reboots.
>>63923759
Have you seen Brick? That's why he's a bad writer
Have you seen Looper? That's why he's a bad director
>>63923670
he's a film director
>>63922987
he directed fly and ozymandias dude
>>63924136
wrong

>hey if i use words i don't know their meaning maybe people will think i'm cool!
>>63924184
brick would have been infinitely better if they had gone with a competent actor rather than JGL

Okay

OP... *giggle* is that... *giggle* an iPhone? *throws back head in laughter*
>>63924205
And yet you still can't afford a computer? I don't follow.
>>63922987
Abrams has stated he doesn't "do" sequels
He only took the job on SW as a favor to his wife
>>63924314
I'm at work you twat. You think I'm gonna go on 4chins on my work computer?

How else would you shitpost in toilet?

>literally the worst episode with the best episode
could be great, could be a shit show. well c
can somebody tell my people think Looper is shit? Because it's not shit.
plz respond
>>63922987
his wife looks like boxxyGROSS
>>63923430
>seemed like a reactionary move
>>63924386
Explain exactly what was wrong with the direction of Fly.It's a 10/10 episode but I'm just curious to see how you think Johnson's supposed failings with it will affect his Star Wars.
>>63924249
>can't handle evolving definitions
Spotted the reactionary.
probably for the best
abrams did great with star trek 2009 then he just rehashed wrath of khan
>>63924331
who did he favor when he did star treks and mission impossible III?
>>63924352
If that's the case, why aren't you working? Won't bossman get mad if he catches you on your phone? He needs a new yacht after all, and he certainly isn't paying the bills.
>>63922987
Are you retarded? Rian Johnson is a far superior director to Jew Jew Abrams. He's also a really good writer. I bet you're going to be disappointed that he's writing both 8 and 9.
>>63924136
Looper was a good movie for what it is.
>>63923664
As long as Rian's script is solid we'll be fine.
>>63924510
likes like saying i took a good healthy shit
its still a shit
>>63924136
Wrong and wrong
>>63924516
Where did this "Rian is a great screenwriter" meme come from?
>>63924084
Too lazy to get out of bed.
Looper is a great flim. There are zero plot holes in it. Excellent sci-fi with depth.
>>63924084
Only way to shit post while shitting to be honest family
What director can save Star Wars from the pit TFA has dug? Keep in mind they have to do so without a screenplay that would not displease the Disney overlords.What director can finally meme the series into the ground once and for all?

An entirely appropriate way of saying he was picked as a reaction to the Jurassic World box office.
>not hiring James Cameron
It's like they want the franchise to fail
>>63924652
You're arguing that plot consistency isn't relative to quality. Lol fuck off. This is one of the dumber things I've read. I might print this comment off, frame it and put it on my wall to remind me that at least I'm not this stupid.
>>63924638
michael bay
ordon simpson
>>63922987
the director won't be deciding much about the script.
Disney introduced characters like Poe and Phasma because they have some retarded grand plan for the series.
The same people who thought the Death Planet was a good idea are going to be dictating the decisions, they effectively purchased Star Wars with their own money.
>>63924556
it isn't one? I'm just saying he has the potential to write a good one.
My personal hope is that JJ and Kasdan laid out major story beats through VIII and IX, so we dont get wildly differing characterizations as the movies go on
>>63924729
just sayin that no movie stands up to scrutiny, and judging a movie on the existence of plot holes alone is dumb
>>63924331
J J Abrams is a fucking blatant liar. He'll say anything on the spur of the moment to cover his ass.
>it's not Khan :^)
>>63924638
*Keep in mind they have to do so WITH a screenplay that would not displease the Disney overlords.
Sorry. I kept editing that sentence, and then I didn't proofread.
>>63924753
he's writing 8 and 9 though
>>63923430
Jurassic world was an over the top spectacle and the force awakens was a soulless rehash?
Maybe it was lightning in a bottle but I think he knows how to do a final act
>>63924864
not exactly, his storyline just carries over into ep 9 so he gets writing credits
>>63924805
Who said that's the sole reason? It's also great because of it's interesting premise, great character development and awesome action scenes.
>>63924773
a story where Han shows up randomly after the heroes randomly escape in the Millenium Falcon isn't one where logical story beats were being prioritized.
>>63924974
i thought he was overseeing the rest of the trilogy?
>>63925031
you thought wrong
get your facts straight
>>63925031
he is
>>63924974
I read he was also writing 9 as well just because of that.
>>63924887
Dude, Jurassic World was fucking awful. Go back and watch the original and then watch JW. It shits on everything that made Jurassic Park great.
At least in the new SW the characters were great outside of Rey and it used practical effects with some CGI to create great action sequences.
>>63922987
>JUST
>Manlet
>Beta white guy
What else?
>>63924864
there's no way Disney paid for Star Wars without having already gotten the technical idea for BB-8 and Kylo Ren's appearance fixed. Why? Because marketing an idea is literally more important than having a good one these days. Kasdan and Abrams sure didn't come up them.
Whoever is directing/writing this is going to be doing it to a set of plot specifications. Next movie will probably require that Luke do something badass that they can put in the trailer as that is what will make the fans queue up.
>>63925006
I'm willing to let plot conveniences like those slide if the larger story is solid (if a bit rehashed)
>>63923075
WRONG, Lucas said he decided not to do the rest sometime after, if you watched the London Premiere
Im taking my wifes son to see it tomorrow, is it really that good?
>>63925178
I assume you'd agree we are waiting for solidity to emerge in the following installments.
>>63925394
It was 8/10 which is why it's so disappointing the other two will most likely suck, due to Disney not wanting to pay Abrams enough.
>>63925006
Didn't Han mention that the Falcon was fitted with a tracking device? Or did I imagine that...
Why some people don't understand the Fly episode?
>>63922987
>posting pictures of his face as a critique of an artist
Are you a fucking woman? Rian Johnson will be fine for Star Wars. He's a better director than JJ and JJ did a fantastic job.
why does every director look metrosexual?
>>63925394
yes it is
>>63922987
>>63923430
Both of these directors are better than JJ
>>63925394
Not at all unless you enjoy movies like Trainwreck and Fast 7
>>63925394
kylo ren is the best part tbqh
>>63922987
this guy is better than abrahms so I don't see why you are bitching
>>63925463
he said he'd been tracking them. but why would it even occur to him to look for the Falcon?
because Disney wanted to have a scene where Han and Chewie board the Falcon and he goes "we're home", that's why.
>>63924331
>doesn't do sequels
>totally okay with driving what could have been his magnum opus into the ground by dragging it on for way longer than it needed to be and manufacturing tension and plot twists and the expense of strong narrative.
Okay
>people simply don't want to acknowledge or accept that the directors put in charge of these films aren't really in control of them
fuck it then. enjoy queuing up for more of the same shit.
>>63924390
I loved it but it did have a kind of shitty third act.
>>63924530
Taking a good healthy shit is actually a really good thing and indicative of good health. I don't see your point.
Guys
Guys
Episode IX:A Wes Anderson film
>>63925640
Not really. The 3rd act was pretty strong.
>>63925402
yea, basically. everyone is bitching and moaning about certain things in VII that yes, are problematic, but can potentially be resolved in the 2 future movies
so at this point, I'm just going to enjoy VII for what it is and pray to space jesus that they dont fuck up VIII. Because that will be the true test of this new outing, imo.
>>63925630
That's the problem. I just want a 1:1 rehash of the OT with new twist and that is what I got with TFA but I fully expect prequel tier new stuff in the other two that make them shit.
The next one should literally be The Empire Strikes back but Rey, unlike Luke, stays to complete her training but her friends die.
>>63924753
Why was the death planet a 'bad idea' exactly?
>>63925394
Thank you everyone who replied without taking this shitty bait.
>>63925485
If Rian Johnson is your idea of 'metrosexual' I dread to imagine what you look like.
>>63925710
That's the problem. I don't trust this new guy at all to follow up successful on all the stuff Abrams set up.
>>63925588
>why would it even occur to him to look for the Falcon?
Because it was his baby? He loves the Falcon. We are talking about a fucking space adventure fantasy films for children and adults alike, there are bound to be contrivances.
>>63925855
>I don't trust this new guy at all to follow up successful on all the stuff Abrams set up.
He will because he wont have a choice
These new movies are products like the Marvel movies
>>63925630
Thats good, look what happened when Lucas was given total control.
>>63925916
When was Star Wars ever not a 'product'?
>>63925916
But the Marvel movies are fucking terrible so that is not good.
>>63925630
Let me live in my fantasy world where simplifying the script for the international audience is just a meme.
>any other director than JJ
this is a good thing
>>63926045
>JJ is bad meme
What bad movie has he made?
>>63926045
>Episode IX directed by Uwe Boll
>>63925997
Are people seriously upset about a simplified script in a fucking star wars film? George Lucas tried to be 'serious' and have mature themes and plots in the prequels and they turned out shit. Star Wars is a fun adventure in space with cool world building and character design. that's all it needs to be,
>>63925710
I agree a lot of the problems can be resolved in the next two films but that still doesn't resolve quite a few problems with TFA. I did enjoy the movie btw.
>>63925630
They are not in total control but the way they tell the story still matters a lot.I want to believe
>>63925963
I mean in the sense that the movies are going to be simply director for hire
Kathleen Kennedy=Kevin Feige
>>63925754
It's just retarded escalation.
How does the Empire, much less remnants of the empire, get that fucking funding after pissing away two Death Stars and winding up on the losing side of a war?
>>63926249
The book explained it, they made a treaty with the New Republic
>>63926138
Nono anon, thats to honest and mature for 4chin.
>>63926138
Simple =/= Fun Adventure Film
You can have a campy movie with a well developed, or even convoluted, plot.
A movie needs a good plot.
>>63926090
Into Darkness.
If they really want the second to pull an Empire Strikes Back they should've gotten a legit director like Ridley Scott, Denis Villeneuve, orJames Cameron.
>>63926578
The OT never had a convoluted plot. a very well developed plot should be quite simple. There's absolutely no need to have a complicated story in a Star Wars film, they are films about a hero and his friends going on an adventure to vanquish a malevolent evil.
>>63926313
There was a book? Did they say anything in the book that happened to go along the lines of:
>"These guys seem totally trustworthy. Let's not even bother demanding the right to periodically scout their territory and make sure they aren't building any of those giantmegadeathweapons that they're so fond of."
That still doesn't explain how they got the resources. And don't you fucking tell me they got them as part of the deal.

I honestly hope JGL joins the star wars universe and becomes an immortal disney character
>>63924239
This. It was pretty mediocre
>>63926823
Pretty much every idea in the PT was bad and no one would ever pull it off. for a prequel trilogy to ever be good they would literally have to be redone from the ground up.
>>63926834
Everything on that list is good except Into Darkness. Get some taste pleb.
>>63925997
>>63926138
the script in Force Awakens wasn't "simple"
it was overstuffed and filled with holes and contrivances.
it literally started by implying the movie was about finding luke TO HIDE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE DOING ANOTHER DEATH STAR.
it was shit because seemed almost completely written by committee, not because it was too straightforward.
JJ cut like 40 minutes from it IIRC. it sounds much more like he was just being told to shoot a bunch of executive's Star Wars ideas.
>>63926882
>Super "15 Minute Long Cartoon Train Crash" 8 is good
Are you retarded?
>>63926960
I'm fine with that. Abrams excels at remakes and I just wanted the OT remade with a different spin.
Why Disney why can't you just try to not only make money on one franchise.
>>63927033
>Not liking new age Goonies
Are you autistic and can't into a childhood or feelings?
>>63926788
Reading comprehension, you gradeschool dropout. I never said the OT was convoluted. I didn't even say it was campy, though I used that word as part of my example. Because that's all it was. An example.
If you think Star Wars is straightforward, then my main fucking point is that TFA has even less of a plot than the OT, and its plot is basically just a rehash at that. It's rushed and bare-bones, like they jammed A New Hope and Return of the Jedi together.
>>63926834
Pleb the list. All those are good. Try thinking for your self instead of following reddit hivemind memes.
>>63927033
It was an 80s sci-fi movie. How could you not like it?
People even died which you almost never see these days in movies aimed at kids.
>>63927077
>super 8 is just like the goonies because that's what all the marketing material said!
So you are retarded then.
>>63926864
Looper does not fall apart on the 3rd act. Where is this meme coming from? Looper is a fantastic movie from start to finish. The ending is god tier.
>>63926882
>>63927152
>pleb.
Are you stepping up?
>>63927161
It was overly sentimental trash desperately masquerading as a spielberg flick and completely failing.
>>63926864
i didnt say anything about looper, i said brick and he is the most overrated actor of a generation
he literally just squints, makes smug faces and generally plays himself. he cant act his way out of a wet paper sack
>brick
>looper
>ozymandias
It could've been far, far, worse. JJ wanted some SJW nigress.
>>63927033
He is a tasteless pleb masquerading as someone with cinematic knowledge. Don't mind it
>>63927266
ozymandias is overrated
/tv/ manchildren wankfest
granite state is 10x better
>>63927225
Looper, Brick, TDKR, 50/50, Inception, 500 Days of Summer and 3rd Rock from the Sun are all great performances by JGL. He's a good actor.
>>63927266
>strong, black woman who don't need no darkside
>bad
Get the fuck off my ship.
>>63927330
no he's not. most of those have good dialogue and well written characters only to be brought down by his performance or lack thereof
learn the difference. with someone else in those roles they would have been infinitely better
>>63927330
Hey, Davey.
Why don't they just use the same director for all three movies so it's stylistically the same? Is this a common thing to change directors?
>>63927447
the original trilogy had 3 different directors
nobody even remembers the name of the guy who directed return of the jedi
>>63927405
Not at all. JGL is great in the roles created for him. In Looper he does a young Bruce Willis to perfection. In Brick, he takes the noir satire and makes it it's own by delivering the well written dialogue in a quick and satirical manner.
TDKR is one of his weaker performances since the movie was so shit in general but he plays his cop role well.
His character in Inception was great along with his performance. This is just being contrarian if you don't agree. See the warehouse scene with Leo for example.
>>63926834
Super 8 was tolerable but forgettable
>>63922987
Nigga, both director of ESB and RotJ were nobodies
what I'm more worried about is the absence of Kasdan
>>63927584
Disney tried to tell him the script had to be soulless and he walked
>>63927541
lol, no
they put makeup on him in a desperate attempt to make him look more like bruce willis and people like you took it as a good performance when it was just him doing the same thing he always does in every role
>This is just being contrarian if you don't agree.
you have an opinion so it must be contrarian cause it doesnt match with mine
the thing with JGL is you never believe he is the character he is attempting to portray. its just JGL being JGL and you never forget it. watch al pacino in donnie brasco.. HE WAS LEFTY
thats acting, son. learn the difference
>>63925006
Good thing they focused on emotional story telling, because the Kylo Ren killin his own father to be more like Vader, who ironically redeemed himself in his last hour, was a very good beginning to a character arc.
>>63927674
Not at JGL is very believable as all his characters. In regards to Looper watch the small things JGL does with typical Bruce Willis mannerisms. He acts like a young Bruce Willis to perfection.
If you only see him as JGL that's because you are unable to differentiate reality from film. That's a sign of autism, bud.
>>63927794
see and theres the problem
he was "acting" like bruce willis while bruce willis was actually portraying his character "joe"
JGL should have been bruce wills as joe instead it was JGL trying to be bruce willis and it was pathetic
im totally able to differentiate reality from film which is why i am able to determine a quality performance compare to second rate. theres nothing autistic about that
>>63924136
Has fucking anyone else seen Brothers Bloom? Cause that's all you ever need to watch to know it's going to be all good.
>>63927926
Joe was the older fucking version of Joe. He would have had the same mannerisms as a young Joe. He's not going to change as a person over time. Them having the same mannerisms expected. Damn son.
>>63928161
he wasnt doing joe the characters mannerisms, he was trying to do bruce willis mannerisms while bruce was actually doing joe
you clearly have no clue how acting works so just stop replying to me. im done with you and this shit of a thread GOOD DAY SIR

I think this new "force vision" mechanism is more likely. It's more in universe. I see one of Rey's first homework assignments as getting control of how it happens and learning to navigate within it.

J.J. jumped ship because he didn't like Disney breathing down his back when it came to creative control.
Notice that the good directors who've done original work tend to jump ship on milked franchises, while shit newbs like Trevorrow or recent floppers like Johnson are hired instead?
Yeah.
There's a reason for that.
Directors with a steady or decent career don't want to kiss ass towards corporate bullshit. Shit newb rehash directors and recent flop directors will.
Anyone who's been in the industry long enough would know that.
>>63927584
kasdan was only there so han's dialogue wasn't shit
>>63931425
I'm praying that the last Phase of MCU isn't completely soulless but with so many directors jumping ship and actors just being ground down...
Outlook not so good.
>>63931624
It's going to be soulless corporate bullshit because Disney is a cheap, greedy company and that's what they do.
The same thing is going to happen to Star Wars as well. There's a reason why they're doing a bunch of spinoff movies along with the trilogy, and why that hack Godzilla director is doing the first in the lot, which is Rogue One.
Shame, while J.J. didn't didn't do a great job with Star Trek, he really is quite perfect for Star Wars. It's funny how everyone is blaming him and Kasdan for the rehashed ANH script as well, as if they can't realize that Disney suits clearly had a hand in that.
