I think out of control is a good way to describe references to past franchise entries in Abram films.

Mogomra posted:At least Elan Sleazbaggano isn't a name that was puked up in fanfictions and video games a million times before he had his big screen debut! You know how when The Amazing Spiderman 3D was coming out? They released a photo of the costume, and Spiderman fans studied it intently - with a specific emphasis on Spiderman's feet. There was something about the feet that was difficult to put into words - the texture of the feet, the soles of the feet? As fans stared at the feet, the feet began to lose their meaning as feet - in the same way that repeating the word 'feet' makes 'feet' into an uncanny collection of syllables. At this point there was definitely something wrong with the feet. Feet should be meaningful - especially feet belonging to Spiderman, whose feet had always been natural and commonsense. Here instead we had these odd masses of flesh with bony protrusions, encased in a padded synthetic sack, shaping them into ungainly flagella. The fans studied the feet more intently. The red and blue of the feet became a meaningless radiation, visible only with human eyes. Useless eyes! This radiation - this miasma - would cloud the retina, preventing the true sight. Soon fans would discover that, through intense concentration, they could travel in-between the particles of light - being drawn down, downwards, into the feet. Spiderman's feet. Spider-man's feet. And in these feet they would find the Spiderman. And he would embrace them with his eight arms. SuperMechagodzilla fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Oct 27, 2015 |

I hope the characters say "Starkiller" a whole lot, and each time this dude in the theater gets progressively more irritated, and then they show the base and it has "Starkiller" stenciled on the side and he just dumps his popcorn all over himself.

Sorry about this, but seeing the other films has already spoiled most of you on what the references in 7 will be (arguably increasing your enjoyment percentage - although that conversation got snuffed right when it was getting juicy). If you haven't seen the OT, hold of until after you see it j.i.c. to go in truly unspoilt.

Mogomra posted:Why would they do that though? People really like adaptations to be authentic, so a lot of fans go detail-hunting to see whether they'll check it out. Studios have gotten good about providing the right content to hype fans into marketing for them, but fans can be pretty odd.

I am having a bit of a brain fart, do people actually say "Death Star" in ANH? I know it says DEATH STAR in the opening crawl but I don't remember people saying it in the movie, they just say "this battle station" a lot. Maybe it'll be the same with Starkiller, a fun stupid name you can print on trading cards that no character will actually say out loud.
