I liked the Lord of the Rings movies.

The chance to finally see people other than George Lucas getting a chance to craft stories in that universe has me tentatively excited.

**TheRobotLol**

Well then.

I'll believe it when I see it. A movie a year is a big ask.

Depends on how ambitious of a movie it is. Is it going to be a 3 hour affair or will it be a shorter 1.5 hour deal.

And with CGI you can reuse the digital props and sets so once you have those done a lot of the work is cut out for making additional movies. This also translates to actual physical sets, a movie a year basically mandates constant filming and thats not super hard to do once you have everything set up.

WHat this does mean is we might have some fairly predictable plots and recycled everything else but thats ok for a start.

**Medium of Death**

I don't really think it's a big ask considering they could start making the films more than a year before they are due out. I can see it being a problem if it requires the same actors, but I believe they are doing character specific films. The first one being Yoda, if the rumours are true.

**Grey Templar**

Well they're already SOL in regards to Carrie Fisher. Mark Hammel could still play Luke but they'd have to fast forward 30 years on the timeline. Harrison Ford fortunately kinda just got grey hair and looks a little bit older.

**timetowaste85**

Rumor has it they're all coming back to pass the torch on to the next group of star-farers. But only a rumor. My best friend was telling me about it last week.

**Breotan**

I still want to hear the bleating of the fanbois when they hand this franchise over to Jerry Bruckheimer.

[Amazing video]

....I have no words for this, other than I would go to the midnight showing and possibly multiple additional times within the following 24 hours.

I'd watch it.

**Grey Templar**

I'd pay $8 to see that. I'd go dressed as the offspring of Tony Stark and whatever hot jedi chick happens to be in the movie.

**LordofHats**

I want a deathmatch fight between Captain Murica and Darth Vader.

**kronk**

That Patton Oswalt clip is hilarious.

Sadly, I think lightsabres might be the one thing that can actually harm Vibranium.

How about a duel between Thor and the Emperor? God of Thunder vs Force Lightning

**Grey Templar**

We finally divide by zero and all universes implode.

**Bromsy**

Thor would wreck that spindly little dude. I mean really, the force is great against regular goons - against honest super powers and the like it wouldn't be all that useful. It really just boils down to fairly minor (in super power terms) telekinesis and some foresight. It's nothing on being a god.

Force lightning wouldn't do anything if even the God of Thunder can't hurt Thor.

**Frazzled**

Wouldn't they nuetralize each other? I mean Thor is the god of thunder too...

Agreed completely. The camera angles wont be boring anymore, and theres no WAY they can write worse movies then Lucas. I mean, he only got away with it because it was his and it was StarWars, a Juggernaut in its own right. So yes, please bring it on, I want some StarWars that doesnt put me to sleep.

**hotsauceman1**

I liked the prequels :(
Maybe because i was in the right age group for them.

Watch the video

While Raiden is a good strategist and a capable fighter, both of them are immune to electricity, which is Raiden's primary weapon. Thor still has Mjolnir.

**timetowaste85**

Does this mean we can finally have the Star Wars vs Marvel fight that nerds everywhere have fought over for years? Meaning the nerds on here. I know Marvel will win, but some of you actually think SW has a chance. Fools.
