AHC ruining Star wars episode VII

That was the kind of thing I was refering to. VII avoided those. Put them in and it will be an uncomfortable movie.

Steamboy is right, make the bad guy a Arab terrorist stereotype, add in some "noble savage" natives, and drugged up "Rastafarian Jamaicans"
 
Surprised there hasn't been a post saying it's already ruined.:p

It's an overall good movie, especially in light of the prequels. Don't mean it doesn't suffer from occasional bouts of JJ induced idiocy, although it was limited in this movie...in comparison to Star Trek Into Darkness.

Hey, I'm just happy he stopped puting lens flare into everything. I've still to watch ST to the end... all I see is "bright light bright light bright light"! :(

And this is the guy who was part-creator of Fringe, which I love...

On subject: the Rebelion/Republic counters the Death Star with an all new Alphabet Battleship... has letters coming out of everywhere...
 
Let JJ go fully off the leash and make up his own incomprehensible plot, instead of just ripping A New Hope wholesale.

Maybe allow him to fully destroy whatever hopes the EU fanbase still cling to by having the main villain be Thrawn (whilst of course insisting it isn't during the run up) and, and having a super awful 'twist' at the end where Rey is resurrected by super midi chlorine or something.

Three most loathed things on AH.com
- Jar Jar Binks
- the Alaska large cruisers
- operation Sea Lion

Imagine Jar Jar as a Grand Admiral commanding a fleet of Alaskas to invade the British Islands...

Have Luke and Leia kiss like they did a couple of times in Episodes IV and V. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Yeah, you could have them both decide that the only way to ensure that they can grow strong, new Jedis is for them to breed (keep the bloodline pure, etc). When they hit on this idea, they both recall that they had a thing for each other once, they're both lonely, etc, so they start a secret 'forbidden love' relationship ....

Cue confused people wondering why Star Wars is ripping off GRRM's stuff...

Great idea, and of course their inbred freak children are tainted with the dark side from the moment of conception...
 
Short of deliberately sabotaging the plot in ASB ways (Darth Jar Jar, etc), it's going to be hard to turn Episode VII into a full blown prequels-style disaster. There's no wayKathleen Kennedy, let alone Disney, is going to let the film turn out that way. That said, it's very doable to have the film turn out to be just okay, or a "eh, whatever", both of which would be seen as a pretty big letdowns.

For instances, keeping Lawrence Kasdan out of the picture and having JJ bring along his writing team from Star Trek (Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof) would hamper the film from the start. That, or have JJ turn it down (Lucasfilm went through a lot of directors before they landed on JJ) and they end up with someone like Colin Trevorrow or Josh Trank.

Turning out okay? I think that's what happened OTL. At least myself and a lot of my friends thought so. I think a lot of the positive reception might have been precisely because it was okay, and not some prequel-style disaster hype wreck. So the opposite of what happened to the prequels (or at least Episode I).

Yeah, like I said, it's going to be near impossible for it to be a disaster. The worst you could hope for is something like Jurassic World or Star Trek Into Darkness: heavy on the fanservice but with a weak-to-nonsensical plot, workman like direction, still makes a ton of money at the box office (but bad word of mouth kicks in once the honeymoon phase is over).
 
Totally agree, in terms of making an insane amount of money, ruining Episode VII is the very definition of ASB. Too many of us are too desperate for anything Star Wars.

Like a friend of mine once said, "George Lucas could shit in a box and stamp Star Wars on it and people would pay for it."
