Of course. It's JJ Abrams, and he only knows a couple things:

- Don't answer questions that fans want answers to.
- Copy and paste, rinse & repeat previous works.

The single worst filmmaker alive today.

>>Copy and paste, rinse & repeat previous works.

Except he didn't do that with the first Star Trek (2009). A magnificent film, which didn't copy anything else. Inspired by SW yes, but it was it's own thing.

Oh bullshit. It's copied a lot. It was not a good film ...

reply

[–] Interlepos (1807) 5 years ago

It copied a lot. Ok. Do you have any examples of movies it copied?

I just wrote that in my original post. It's inspired by SW. Son, you might need glasses.

Don’t make this personal.

reply

[–] Interlepos (1807) 5 years ago

It wasn't personally meant. I literally have no idea who you are, so how could it be personal?

[–] triplea (3577) 5 years ago

Hahaha so now copying is just 'being inspired by' ...

reply

[–] Interlepos (1807) 5 years ago

Claiming more than an inspiration would be a lie, and you know that.

reply

[–] triplea (3577) 5 years ago

Entertaining film except it took a deliberate swipe at the fanbase by deliberately destroying the timeline. JJ claimed he wanted to be the only trek....even though he had zero to do with the success of the brand. Now it's just cookie cutter action series.

reply

[–] Interlepos (1807) 5 years ago

I agree with you that that the recent Trek films have not lived up to the quality of the first film from 09, but I don't think it's because JJ deliberately destroyed the timeline like you imply. He made a great reboot, he made a great film. Often sequels are not half as good as the first (look at the Iron Man films - the first one was a masterpiece, second one was weak).

Trek can still be Trek, even after JJ. They just need a good story and a great director. Then, lo and behold, a good film might follow. Star Trek Boyond was mediocre, but I blame the writers and the director of that film, not JJ.

reply

[–] triplea (3577) 5 years ago

I think I saw him quoted as saying that he wanted his trek to be the only trek, which was the motivation behind the time warp thing.

if RJ used half the plot of ROTJ for TLJ? then what's the other half? TESB?

reply

[–] AckbartheHutt (1370) 6 years ago

I don't think the plot from ROTJ was used yet, the First Order stuck back in TLJ, so I think the plot from ROTJ is wide open. A wild card I think is that Ep9 ends on a cliffhanger and they make Ep 10, 11 and 12. But who knows at this point.

reply

[–] ghostrider38 (1034) 6 years ago

why would Ep9 ends on a cliffhanger? EP 9 is the final film the of skywalker saga.

reply

[–] Wesley93 (164) 7 years ago

No. (TLJ spoilers ahead). This movie would need an Emperor-like character and a throne-room scene for this to be a Return of the Jedi reboot. They already had the throne-room scene in TLJ and axed the Emperor-like character. They are free to move on to something more original in Episode 9.

reply

[–] CraigJamesReview (1720) 7 years ago

Yeah, it probably will be a bit different. I doubt Kylo is Rey's father.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see and if you have any thoughts or criticisms, i'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/nerCnafPUm8

[–] Otter (24464) 6 years ago

If they want to copy RotJ, they set Darth Emo up as the new Emperor, and have Rey redeem him through love the way Luke redeemed Anakin.

I really hope they don't do that, because it would be painfully derivative. I aslo wish I could trust Abrams not to be painfully derivative, but let's get real here.

reply

[–] Alex (1504) 6 years ago

You mean Rey will drag Kylo to the light side with the power of boners.
Unpleasant (for the viewers) PG-13 30 min of unsimulated sex scenes in the throne room. Bwuahahahhaha

Another death star?

One thing we've learnt from Lucastards is that they can never have enough Death Stars. Goddamn lol

reply

[–] ghostrider38 (1034) 6 years ago

I don't think Episode 9 is going to be a reboot of ROTJ. TLJ wasn't a reboot of ESB.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18075) 6 years ago

TLJ had some of the same plot points as ESB. The First Order struck back against the rebels/resistance and sent them fleeing to the outer rim. They had a battle on a snow planet but it was actually salt. The rebels in the trenches fighting against the empire/first order. Either the resistance will return in Ep 9 to defeat the first order or the story will be stretched out in Episodes 10, 11 and 12. There is pretty much no other option for the story line.

reply

[–] PresidentAckbar (1289) 6 years ago

Pretty much this. The FO will be defeated by Rey.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18075) 6 years ago

Rey is the key to everything. She is probably Anakins father.

reply

[–] ghostrider38 (1034) 6 years ago

" She is probably Anakins father" what the flack?

[–] JoWilli (20124) 3 years ago

well she ended up being a sith lord. so it was entirely possible.

For this debacle. Trust me...you will wish it was a rehash of episode six!

Everything can still be forgiven if they make Darth Jar Jar a reality.

It would also redeem the prequels, or at least make them better XD

Reboot??? Probably not. Rehash??? Most likely.
