Star Wars Episode VII (Official Thread) (JJ Abrams Directs)


Recommended Posts

Id love to see at least one film dedicated to the Sith perspective ,proper dark side ...killing jar jars by the 1000s. Make him an anti-hero , then the next film put him against the Jedi and let us make up our own minds who we wish to follow.

Never happen , but that's what I want to see.

That's quite an interesting take...

"Star Wars" creator George Lucas spilled the news that the films' original, iconic stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher "have already signed" on to return to "Star Wars: Episode VII," due out in 2015.

And there you have it folks...they are coming back!

He probably just has the honorary executive producer tag but I don't think he's got anything to do with the script, not with all the money Disney just dropped.

More rumours about a reunion

Let's hope not though. None of the character should look like this:

Leave my childhood alone, but keep in the Star Wars universe.

EDIT: God dammit, I hate Internet Explorer. It still messes things up in version 9...

Don't underestimate the power of Hollywood makeup artists and post production work.

Dwayne Johnson wants role in 'Star Wars Episode 7'

Dwayne Johnson has revealed that he is trying to secure a role in Star Wars Episode 7.

The G.I. Joe: Retaliation star said that he has been a fan of the franchise since childhood, and is planning to contact director JJ Abrams to offer his services.

"I played with two lines of action figures when I was a kid, G.I. Joe and Star Wars," he told an Australian news service.

"By the way, because we didn't have a lot of money, I used to steal them. I'd just rip open the packages and shove 'em in my pockets... like a lot of kids. I got caught a couple of times, got my ass kicked by my parents.

"When I got the call saying, 'How do you feel about becoming the leader of the G.I. Joes?' it was like if I got a call from George Lucas saying, 'I want you to be in Star Wars'. I'm gonna call J.J. and you're gonna help by printing it and I'm gonna be in Star Wars'!"

The news follows word that Johnson is also targeting a role in The Expendables 3, with the WWE star confessing that he is a friend of director Sylvester Stallone and would join the project if asked.

Based on a screenplay by Toy Story 3 scribe Michael Arndt, Star Wars Episode 7 is scheduled for release in 2015.

Nothing wrong with wanting to be in the movie if you're such a big fan. I'm much more interested in what the story will be about exactly at this point more than who will be in it.

As far as I understand they are working with the story that George Lucas laid out for 7, 8 and 9.

JJ Abrams Expects John Williams to Score ?Star Wars: Episode VII?

[Michael Giacchino] is truly one of the most influential members of our crew, and I think this score, he really outdid himself. [...] Again, for Star Wars, it?s very early days, but I believe that, going forward, John Williams will be doing that film, because he was there long before I was.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
