The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Disney Buys LFL; Announces Episode 7

You guys keep mentioning the Trek reboot as a good guideline, but I think a reboot would be a worst case scenario for me. I'm pretty certain that's NOT what their plan is as well, considering they're referring to the new movies as 7, 8, and 9, meaning following up the OT. I would imagine that also means it's going to follow a similar length of time between the PT and OT; otherwise, why refer to them as episodes 7-9? Why not just call them new SW movies?

I'm more looking at it from the fresh set of ideas and eyes standpoint not necessarily a reboot with new Luke, Leia and Han. Same galaxy, same premises, same technology but different and hopefully cooler like the Trek movie was.  I loved the updated Enterprise, I loved the new cast etc...it was familiar and yet completely different than the Shatner/Nimoy era stuff. 

  Again, we don't know anything on timeline.  I've read (I think at E!) this morning that it is definitely not anything to do with any of the existing EU (Thrawn, NJO etc). 

I think I am more excited today than I was last night, again I think as Jeff pointed out, I get to share this trip with my boys this time.  Wild and crazy idea but I never really asked my dad if he liked the OT as much as I did...he brought me to all three.  Maybe, just maybe, the whole making this for kids angle Lucas has said all along has a little sliver of truth and the years of Fanboy rage was due to the fact that we all we adults rather than kids.  Now a lot of us have our own kids to share the next segment with and I think it will make it that much more meaningful.

Agreed Jeff...My boys are super psyched for the Hobbit trilogy but I was telling them that this lead up is nothing like when the SW movies came out.  I am thrilled to get to share that with them.

Opened the OT guys last night...love them all except for Nien's vest

As I was putting them in my case and taking out old POTF2 figs I couldn't help looking at the Snaggleteeth, Skiff Klaatu, Ree Yees, Yakface and dreaming of new ones SA versions.

One other thing on Trek...almost everything about the new Trek was awesome and I went into it with no anticipation or expectations.  Much like Rob said no risk high reward...

People are worried that this is going to be more suck but the right team (Spielberg, Whedon, hell even Abrams) can right the ship just like the Trek franchise did

I just keep going back to Spock in the the last Star Trek...while as a story it worked...to me they put Nimoy in there just to put him in there and not have Trek rage.

Luke as Obi Wan is about I'll concede as plausible

And for Jayson...I can't wait for EUrmaggedon.  Much like CW kills something every week this will get funny stupid in outrage.

Here's the deal to me...going into the Prequels we all knew the endgame we didn't know where or how it got there.  Now it is wide open...this could be 1000 years in the future for all we know.  Gone (hopefully) are all of the ******* blatant yes men like Burtt and McCallum.  I think a clean slate with Jedi and Sith...I'm in and I'm excited

What I don't want is forced cameos with Fisher, Hamill and Ford...

Sweet...I'm guessing the Spider Rescure and Barrell Escape were pushed from Movie 1 to Movie 2 and Lego had to cover their asses.  I am really looking forward to this movie.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Who Wants More Ewoks?

Anyone Ewoked out? (Brent can't answer this question)

Seems like we've hit critical mass on the little guys and I know my shelf is bursting with Ewok goodness.  As I said somewhere in another thread I usually buy 2-3 of each and swaps hoods with others.  The joys of universal necks and heads!

Who else do you want, who else needs to be done...or are you done?
