Star Wars VII Cast



That's all of 'em in one pic. Except Kenny Baker; only his costume is present. You can click through for names and more info, or just sit here and play Spot The Old Folks like I did. Those old folks are around our age, by the way.

Now, somebody answer me this: who in the FUCK decided J.J. Abrams was competent to clean toilets, let alone direct movies? I do believe I requested his head on a platter after the first Star Trek disaster, yet here he is, walking about and rushing headlong towards destroying a second beloved franchise.

I would content that the franchise has already been severely damaged by Episodes I-III with Lucas himself directing. At least this time they brought back Kasdan to do the writing. If he had been involved in the prequel then there might be something left to destroy...

True, but the prequels didn't involve the main characters from the first movie. This Abrams version will feature them, and that's what really bothers me. Abrams is what I call a salt-shaker chef. If something doesn't have enough "zing" to it, he just adds more salt. It doesn't take much of that before you end up with an inedible dish.

Lawrence Kasdan is a master storyteller. Abrams seems to care almost exclusively about visual effects so hopefully he will defer to Kasdan on story issues (which he doesn't give a shit about anyway). If the story is good, he can add all the over-the-top special effect action sequences he wants and it *might* still end up a decent movie.

As long as there is no Jar-Jar or future Dark Lords of the Sith saying "Yippee!" then it can't be THAT bad...
