Yup, that.

Nothing wrong with an occasional moan. Beats lapping up any old rubbish the meedja feeds us. That's how we ended up with Kardashians, and PJ & Duncan as Saturday night overlords.

which will cause a nuclear holocaust destroying all life on earth.

And someone will send of live documentation of it into space that will reach Earth in the past detailing something that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away but what we didn't know is that it was actually a documentary on the fall of Earth but was named Star Wars. It's all real folks, and it's a conspiracy too.

THIS TRAILER HAS DESTROYED MY CHILDHOOD! JJ ABRAMS IS SATAN!

I was reading rumour mill crap all yesterday evening.

Of course none of that stuff is confirmed and a great deal of it is just attention seekers who make plausible-sounding claims using known information. Plus god knows how much of it is actual staff-driven misinformation. Seems like it would be more absurd to imagine someone producing a Star Wars movie without a comprehensive misinformation campaign.

But the one thing that is unquestionably known and which has me thinking is the cast. It's just so damn big! I mean, there are nearly twenty people with major speaking roles and significant screen time in this movie. All storyline rumours aside I'm really wondering how bloated the movie might wind up being.

I was tempted to be all "Well, we all know how JJ loves him some mystery box secrecy", but then I remembered "Blue Harvest".

They need to hire Peter Jackson to split it into three, without losing any of the integrity or essential story and without padding it with useless visual effects.

Now that would be a rumour to really get the mill grinding!

more than 120 mins makes me cranky. The human digestive tract and bladder cannot hold a big gulp in for more than 120 minutes no matter how good the battle scene is. Back in my day if you wanted to make an epic you had an intermission and people used it.

Oh man, nothing says epic movie like having an intermission!

I GM the d6 roleplaying game at work and the prequels don't even enter into it but I'm interested to see how these pan out and if they are good bloody awesome then I'll include them when we play

Apparently Wes Anderson censored the triple lightsaber too.

Hah!

Yeah, looks like the Colbert clip is gone already. The original clip is here: http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/umsrnb/lightsaber-controversy but it might be region-locked for a lot of people.
