<p>Amazing what can happen when your lead star dies before the release, look what happened with Dark Knight in 2008.</p>

<p>Disney are probably gutted Harrison Ford walked away from his recent plane crash.</p> -

<p>I wonder if those have that much of an effect? The Dark Knight was probably going to be a smash anyway. Ledgers death didn't help Gilliam's movie, and Walker's death didn't help his other movies released recently.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So combo of both I guess, big movies anyway but maybe getting a bump putting them higher than they would.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess we'll see with the next Fast and Furious whether it's solely down to Walker's death. More screen time for the Rock can only be a good thing!</p> -

<p>I took to the series after the first couple (Mrs CF loves them). Sure they use a simple formula and the acting is not Oscar but they are well done. Racy cars, racy soundtracks, the movies look cool and they tap in well to pop culture. They don't take themselves too seriously and the ensemble cast are filled with different characters, something for everyone</p> -

<p>A little bit of wee came out.</p>

<p>As usual, some geeks has gone through the trailer still by still and given a take on what they think everything is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you haven't seen (or don't want to see) any story line speculation to date, you may not want to read this, but it is guesswork rather than an actual spoiler.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like it for the snapshot stills from the trailer where you can inspect the detail.</p>

<p>If you want to know some of the new canon that precedes the new movies then this is a good read. A series of books and videogames etc that fill in the gaps have been released and if you can't be bothered reading them, here is a summation of what is known so far (what happened after ROTJ etc)</p>

Couldn't show MN5 jrs this because the little shits stole licorice out of the cupboard last night and then lied about it. Tempted to be the good guy to them but then that undermines Mum.....fuck sake.....parenting is tough. <br><br>
Looks awesome, obviously the black dude is a storm trooper turned good ? <br><br>
I've also heard that the big tall bitch from GoT is a head storm trooper ?<br><br>
Just glimpses of Han Solo are so fucken exciting too, is he still piloting the falcon?
