Darth Vader - the Photographer's curse.....

Speaking about that, I just seen STAR WARS VII.

This is a shame. All Lucas legacy is gone, just a stupid, empty, soulless film. I'm not a die hard fan of star wars but I can easily imagine die hard fans crying after such a pile of crap. Since when mediocrity became the rule ?? It is lame, it is a shame. I have no other words.

Star wars isn't a book, at first. It is a visual essay so it should be "easy" today to best what was already done at all level : Scenario, casting, FX ... but no ! They managed to kill every of this only for money and toys.

Finally I give a load of credits to Peter Jackson. The Lord of the Ring / The Hobbit are BOOKS. A bit more difficult to stage it because you can't trick the fans (and what a fan boy club !!). Jackson did a super work.

J.J. Abrams did a very good work with Star Trek, seriously good and entertaining films. WTF happened with Star Wars ?? YOU CAN'T MESS A STAR WARS !! Every thing but that. You can't. I think J.J. Abrams career is now over (at least for me).

And Disney can go burn in hell.

Rants are fine, sometimes some things have to be said by somebody :thumbup:

Funny thing is that I have never watched one single Star Wars movie in my entire life, so once again I'm completely incompetent in judging what it's all about :rolleyes:

I've seen them all. Frankly, after the first one in 1977 and maybe the second a couple of years later, they all became a bit maudlin and cartoonish. But I enjoy them anyway, and don't take them seriously. :)

I actually loved the new movie and the darker undertones of the movie. It feels somewhat like a maturation of themes at the end of Episode 3. I'm a big Star Wars fan personally and I'm glad Abrams went a different direction from playing it "safe" by making just another "Lucas Space Opera."
