"For the first time in forever (eighteen years), a film not directed by James Cameron will be the top-grossing film of all time in America. And for the first time in forever (forty years), a film not directed by James Cameron, George Lucas, or Steven Spielberg will be at the top of said list"

:wow: :leon:
on the same note I like that no one is being silly by mentioning jj as a gawd or anything. Dude just had to not fuk it up and his cut and paste job proved to be what the masses secretly wanted. But it's somewhat disturbing that he will now be spoke of in that company dude is kind of the puff daddy of directors

JJ is basically Speilberg and Lucas Son (Prodigy). They handpicked him to be next in line. He's not on their level or Cameron's. Star Wars is going to be back on Top because of the Legacy of the franchise is something even Cameron can't stop. Shoot, "Jurassic World" almost dethoned "Titanic" Domestically if it didn't have the re-release money added to it. So Steven and George used their disciples to dethone Cameron with their legendary properties.

a prodigy is already blazing trails though what exactly has JJ created? Alias was run Lola run meets la femme nikita, super 8 was a poor attempt at ET. He has then gone on to direct properties that were tv shows but now movies MI3/Star trek. And now he's pulled the greatest con job with TFA. Where is his duel or American graffiti :why: just seems like a sneaky copycat at this point to me

I think he proved his originality through his early screenplays like "Reguarding Henry, Forever Young" and his television shows. Yes so far as a director he's been franchise hopping going from Mission Impossible to Trek to Star Wars. So he's done nothing but sequels outside of "Super 8" which was basically a spielberian film. When I say Prodigy I say that in only two of the Gods of cinema basically picked him. Selected him in a way. And now he tops not only them but taken out Cameron twice. Gotta give props where props is due. Yes Episode VII wasn't original but it did the job. I still think this happen because Star Wars is a multi-generational film series so young and old go and watch it. But JJ is not on Steven's level nor is he on George or Cameron.

Lucas isn't happy with the movie though, since Disney/LucasFilms gave him the boot and no creative control for the new series. :camby:

That might be possible. It'll be in theaters for at least another month maybe two. And I can see them doing a rerelease before it hits home video
"JUST A HEADS UP

I was Notified, STAR WARS:TFA will not be on DVD/BLU RAY/ON DEMAND/DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ETC UNTIL JUNE.

Any Site, Walmart, Best Buy, Online Sites, who post otherwise are taking educated guesses. We have the Exact Date penciled in, it has not been released to anyone outside of the company. so any site who posts the date is LYING.

From what I hear . we plan of Re-Releasing it back into theaters around Easter with the Teaser Trailer for Rogue One attached."
