LOL, I laughed my ass off with the HD edition "wow, the text is so clear..." 

Great worl like always kurt, hoping to see more subway thoughs.

[DuDEwithAGuN]

Great job Kurt (and Kevin:)! Keep 'em coming!

[Zoomer]

".... Dress up as candy and are given bags of hair...." yep, sounds like a Lucas script to me.

🤣🤣
"Over here Jar Jar"
"You know that JJ doesn't stand for Jar Jar..." 😂😂😂

[UndedDisfunction]

Well luckily JJ has power over George with this one

[dialecticalmonist]

"That man absolutely terrifies me." 
Yeah, that's basically me on the right.

The scariest part, is that if Lucas wrote the next Star Wars, about HALF the movie would consist of Chewbacca's kids going trick or treating on "Wookie Halloween."  

[jackbaxter]

"These are really great ideas, people."
"But JJ, this is just a rehash of the original movie. There are practically no original ideas in this at all!"
"Shshshshshshsh..."

Say what you will about the prequels, but at least they tried to be their own thing. TFA just relied on nostalgia for the original trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie, but there was no originality in it at all.

and he gets final word with everything

[georgioquestor]

Wow this was really good. You must be a pro in animation or something. Thx for the laughs.

Hmm, though not for Episode VII it was relevant for Episode VIII 0:05 - 0:08

Kind of sad how people prefer incest (Luke and Leia's love relationship) over annoying, cheesy characters like Jar Jar. Yet, Jar Jar wasn't NEARLY as annoying compared to C-3PO in Droids, ANH, or TCW!

[TheCosmicFireStar]

With Disney worrying over George Lucas far out there concept of Medi-chlorions and the Whills who were the embodiment of the Force in the story treatments for the sequel trilogy they opted not to use the treatments. George was admittedly disappointed but had sold the property, supposedly he was brought on to provide story consulting on Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker but how much he has contributed to that film is unknown. Weird looking back on this seeing the Trilogy in its entirety.

Har har, jar jar. Lets hope the woodie Halloween is in the deleted scenes.

es not putting the scroll in and he's putting typed in location subtitles

[artsiemama]

Laughing so hard!
" wow, this texd is so clear! "
XD looking forward to more!

[DaDez]

Little did we know that while this was all going on they wern't planning out the entire trilogy and here we are in 2020 post- sequel trilogy and have moved on...

[paradigmsd]

I think the biggest joke of the whole thing is that JJ was engaging in a "writing process." Didn't the whole rewrite (reportedly from scratch...) take like one whole month?

I have to assume it'll read like the Star Trek scripts.

Pew Pew Kaboom Kerplow
Spock: (says something really fast)
Kirk: (says something really fast)
They run to the next action set piece. CGI takes it from there. Repeat.

george lucas actualy did write the script

[Cnw]

Funny how OT fanboys hate Lucas yet praise JJ despite not knowing a damn thing about him to begin with! =P Sure the Prequels and Special Editions had their flaws, but considering what Disney's been doing with the franchise is just beyond ridiculous, though Star Wars Rebels makes up for it (thanks to Dave Filoni). But then again, if you look back and compare the Original Trilogy to how today's movies are in terms of storytelling and technology, you can see where the prequels originally were meant to be, especially considering that George originally intended on starting out with Episodes 1-3, but skipped in favor of doing 4-6 first. 7-9 weren't really all that important, and never fully made it past the early drafts of the script until JJ Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy butchered everything in the same routine much like how the shitty Star Trek prequels were directed.
