Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens

Star Wars Artist Heaps Ridiculously High Praise On The Force Awakens

Star Wars: The Force Awakens faces a seemingly impossible task, introducing a new generation to a galaxy far, far away, while living up to expectations of franchise fans who have been around from the beginning. If a key source close to the production is correct, however, then J.J Abrams and Disney may have accomplished the impossible.

Following his recent unveiling of the Force Awakens poster art at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, artist Drew spoke to Movie Weekly about his involvement with the franchise. Despite the series’ high profile, many important plot points remain under wraps, and much of what we’ve gleaned about the story actually stems from Struzan’s recent work on the new poster art – such as the fact that Finn (John Boyega) will wield a lightsaber at some point. It was while speaking about the movie overall, though, that Struzan revealed his opinion of the work, saying,

I’ve never worked with J.J [Abrams] before and so we started working on it and he showed me like half the movie and it was just… a wonderful film and I know it’s going to be grand. I got to read the script and subsequently I’ve seen half of it and I can tell you and the fans this, Honest to god, it is far and away probably going to be the best Star Wars you’ve ever seen.

Star Wars Is Going To Make A Stupid Amount Of Money From Force Awakens Merch

... If Nollen’s estimations are correct, products linked to the Star Wars could bring in as much as $5 billion in just the next year.

That’s an insane amount of money, but with the slate of goods and merchandise they have in the works, it also seems totally within their reach. Early predictions indicate that The Force Awakens could bring in as much as $615 million worldwide in just its first weekend of release. That would beat the current record holder, Jurassic World, which had the biggest global opening ever earlier this year on the way to earning more than $1.5 billion at the box office....

We've been watching the previous Star Wars films in anticipation. In retrospect they aren't quality movies. I hope the new one is better.

He / she is the one who gets really f-ing annoyed when some one claims to be a fan who then proceeds to say "Luke, I am your father"

Why? It's a pivotal moment in the best of the movies (The Empire Strikes Back). What is the allowable famous quote then?
