New trilogy is about racial tensions across the newly liberated galaxy.
Ka-ching mr Lucas.
One trilogy about Anakin, one trilogy about Vader/Luke Skywalker, this one's about...newbies and old timers ?
I've seen him in a couple of other things. He's awful. I don't get it either.
Shattered Glass.
But he plays an asshole and a phony actor (not a professional one though) in that so it fits him like a glove.
Episode VIII release slated for May 26, 2017
So, most likely, I could see filming beginning pretty soon on Episode VIII. If they're done by early Fall, that would give them over 18 months to work on the special effects (which they've probably already begun working on, anyway, given they know the script/story for the sequel films and can also re-use any locales/CG characters/things that are in Episode VII as well).
On the other hand, it's also possible that they will want to start filming right after Episode VII enters theaters. That way, the cast list for Episode VIII won't spoil who lives/dies from the previous installment.
This movie already feels way too wink-and-a-nod fan servicey to me. It still looks pretty great. But I feel like J.J. is doing the same kind of thing in that regard he's done with the Trek movies, except I fall way more in line with TOS Trek fanaticism than I do wrt Star Wars so I think I was ok with that. Meaning I was a sucker. But ok with it.
I thought ST fans hate Abrams for ret-conning everything?
