If I remember my EU correctly, the 'original' death star was actually a proof of concept anyway, the first one was just a power core and laser in a superstructure (built in a shipyard inside the Kessel Black-Hole cluster iirc), the second was a combat-ready field test, and the third one was started as the finished product whilst the second one was being built.

I think Episode 7-9 mighty be good, but it does require a good team of writers who can do an interesting plot line and a director that has a genuine intrest doing a star wars movies because it could go easily wrong and having a freaking jar-jar bings as main villain with gungans.

The way I see it, at best they won't be horrible. We all know what Star Wars is - it's a cash cow for movie tickets, DVDs, toys, games, t-shirts, baseball caps, mugs, etc. Disney didn't just spend enough money to to establish a small Moon colony because they loved the Star Wars universe and wanted to get creative with it. If they were feeling creative they'd go create something new and not go milk a cow that's really had enough milking. So yea with a decent team of writers, a good director, good concept artists, etc. it might be bearable, which is more than I can say for the prequels. But I very much doubt these can go anywhere above mediocre. Let's hope the movies themselves prove me wrong, though unless I see some very high praise I'm not paying for movie tickets to see them.

I know a lot of you guys didn't like JJ Trek, but as a guy who only grew up really liking TNG and having little to no exposure to anything prior to that, I thoroughly enjoyed the '09 reboot.

That said, don't **** this up, Abrams.  No pressure!

The part in the Trek reboot where Kirk flees the ice monster on foot certainly reminded me of the part in Phantom Menace where the sea monsters eat each other.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I expect cancer-giving levels of lens flare for Death Star-sized explosions and up.  Don't disappoint Abhrams!!!   :mad:

Well let's be honest, they're complaining about some deep version of Trek that wasn't something TOS really did in its joyous camp scenery chewing.

Whereas Star Wars was never deep in its movie incarnations.

I'd say I'm not a fan of Abrams, but I loved Fringe to bits so he's not all bad. I guess a per-episode budget keeps the lens flares in line, but with the new Star Wars I'm predicting audiences won't need 3d glasses, but actual sunglasses to prevent permanent eye damage.

RIDICULOUS!
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH LENS FLARE! It's directly proportional to the amount of awesome!

lens flare is second only to film grain for the most annoying effect ever.

Film grain, appearing in a film?  Perish the thought!

I don't know about the lens flare stuff. Yes, he's known for it. But he also knows that he's known for it. Moreover, Star Wars (the OT anyway, which I'm sure he's savvy enough to ape more closely than the prequels) is generally darker and grimier than nuTrek, so there're somewhat fewer opportunities for indoor flares. Maybe in some of the space scenes... but still, I'd expect it to be considerably toned down vs. Trek.
