Chills. Abrams did so much justice to Star Trek that I can't imagine this not being amazing.]]>https://brownsboard.com/topic/32717/star-wars-new-trailerRSS for NodeThu, 01 Oct 2026 02:27:53 GMTFri, 17 Apr 2015 15:08:00 GMT60<![CDATA[Reply to Star Wars new trailer on Tue, 21 Apr 2015 15:12:53 GMT]]>A new hope really felt, and feels, like an epic beginning to a storyline, and I get tingles watching it - just picturing the jedi training scene with the helmet on, it's awesome. Empire strikes back had the massive battles and you really get the sense of the empire striking back, winning that film. Jedi is maybe slightly forced, with luke having to 'win' his father back to the light, but was still amazing.

Then you get Jar fucking Jar fucking Binks, and that whole turd of a trilogy. I mean, it wasn't just bad by star wars standards, it was wholly bad.

To be honest, other than "empire" I was never that sold on the original Trilogy despite having seen them incessantly through childhood. I trust Abrams to deliver a solid product based on his reworking of star trek which was very well received except for some guys like Gipper who just can't let go of the past on certain things.

Like the guy in the movie said, that's like just your opinion, man.

That had been brought up in the TV series a few times.

As had been stated before he often struggled to keep his human side submerged.

I had no interest in the Star Trek franchise until he made it 'cool' - I imagine that pissed off a lot of old school trekkies. I can see a similar situation here, either he goes a whole new direction (pissing people off), or pays homage to the original trilogy (making them happy).

Well, he destroyed Vulcan.....which was BS. He had Spock and Uhuru having a sexual relationship......and everyone knows that Vulcans are asexual except during ponfar when their blood boils.....and the only thing they can do is to have sex with another Vulcan....as a human woman couldn't handle the sexual acts that a Vulcan performs under Ponfar.

And, minor.....the casting of Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan Noonian Singh was all wrong. I love Benedict....but he is a pasty white English boy. Khan needed to be either of Indian/Sikh descent.....or close enough.....like Hispanic ala Ricardo Montalban.

Some of this was as bad as making Mr. Phelps the bad guy in Mission: Impossible. To help Steve understand....that is like someone making a version of LOTR where Gandalf is in league with Sauron and Saruman.

(like I would do with Lord of the Rings or Superman) I loved the first Star Trek movie Abrams did.

As far as Star Wars, I never loved it enough to get really worked up by any of this new stuff but I do have some interest. I hear some people are Battlestar Galactica aficionados.

Gave me tingles and loved the star destroyer wreck. Hope it is more than just a setting but contains something important to the story.

Just the whole thing about "the force is strong in my family...my father, me, my sister...now you" is just spine tingling.
