In 2015, we’re planning to release Star Wars Episode 7 – the first feature film under the “Disney-Lucasfilm” brand. That will be followed by Episodes 8 and 9 – and our long term plan is to release a new Star Wars feature film every two to three years.
Ms. Kennedy will serve as executive producer on new Star Wars feature films, with George Lucas serving as creative consultant.
F UCK!
I haven't watched any of the more recent movies after the original trilogy.
The first 3 were triumphs of visual effects, with the hand-made models and so on. Even then, you'd see these "making of" documentaries where they tried to invest deep meaning in the movies, which was hooey.
Lucas is a mogul, Coppola is a vintner and Scorcese makes glossy schlock which don't compare with his great films -- at least the last two made some great films. They should all hang it up.
That is a good article that star wars fans should read. Personally, nothing could be worse than Phantom Menace and Jar Jar. That s*** is unwatchable. I'll just enjoy the ride with what comes in the new movies.
not feeling it. same old star wars i guess. Wouldn't you think they'd upgrade the Millenium Falcon? It's like someone driving a 57 chevy these days and telling everyone it's state of the art. I hope Chewbacca has some grey hairs too. Change it up a little at least. That narrator in the trailer sucked too. I'll probably end up watching it, but I hope these new movies aren't disney movies like the last 3 prequels were.

Someone driving a '57 Chevy today looks every bit, if not more, badass than someone driving it in 1957. Same principle applies here.

The Falcon would be considered aircraft/spacecraft rather than a car, correct? In that case since the new movies take place 20 years after the original trilogy it's not odd that the ship would be the same since fighter jets like the F-16 and the F-15 have been around since the mid 70s. Even the F22 first flew over 10 years ago.
Also, the Falcon looks different in the trailer than the original trilogy.
Now please don't let my wife see this post or I will never have sex again.

ya it looks like a CGI piece of crap. WTF is with CGI, it's ruining movies. It may look fine now, but in a few years itll look so bad. Look at the pre-quel's, the cgi doesn't live up. I liked the old fashioned puppetry or figurines. At least they still look legit and passable from the original movies.
Regarding the effects, the producers have been talking up using less CGI, and more real locations and real life FX droids on set. I wouldn't expect to see miniature models for the dogfights though.
Second, CGI shots are almost always significantly improved from the first teaser trailers to the final release.
Third, it completely makes sense from a practical standpoint, as well as a fanboy perspective, to see all the classic ships in a movie set about 25 years later.
Physical models...
