This is not a "Star Wars" sequel but a new series based on the old Star Wars saga. This is now a Abrams/Disney production with George Lucas just as a creative consultant and it doesn't look like they used his ideas much:<br />http://www.cnet.com/news/george-lucas-says-disney-ditched-his-ideas-for-star-wars-the-force-awakens/<br /><br />I don't want to be a Debbie downer here and I appreciate the more ethnically diverse cast but I don't think we should get our hopes up too much lest we set ourselves up for disappointment.kokaneehttp://www.byebyedemocracy.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-88046953500919105542015-04-18T01:37:57.036-05:002015-04-18T01:37:57.036-05:00They saw Billy Dee on dances with the Stars and sa...They saw Billy Dee on dances with the Stars and said hell no!

It was so long ago, we were sitting in the balcony smoking cigarettes. The part where r2-d2 falls over on his face got a chuckle from the audience. We had no idea what we were seeing, or how it would change the movie industry.<br /><br />The new Batman v. Superman trailer is out.

He goes heavy on the action to close a story - not a lot of subtlety and plot development after the first sixty-minutes for sure. <br /><br /><br />I'm hoping for a bigger Lando role in Episode VIII. The new characters need to be established and the show needs to revolve around them. I can easily see Lando being pulled in much the way his character was in Episode V - providing pivotal support to the trapped heroes in a delicate situation.DanFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-56992349773055124182015-04-17T10:19:47.077-05:002015-04-17T10:19:47.077-05:00I gotta disagree - I really liked the first Star T...I gotta disagree - I really liked the first Star Trek reboot.
