    I don't know about this having the same dude be behind the Star Trek and Star Wars movies. We don't need the two series basically becoming the same thing. I mean the Trek movies have already lost most of the Trek and mostly become generic space based movies. I enjoyed them, but they don't really capture the spirit of the series at all.

    you do know he already directed episode 7 right ?

    Yes, which was my point. I was glad they were moving away from him. The fact that they decided to stick with him is my issue. The two series will continue to head towards each other in style.

    they are nothing alike aesthetically , Lawrence Kasdian and Kathleen Kennedy still have the final say with the direct of Star Wars...

    and Justin Lin took over Star Trek...

    The source material for the two series is vastly different, so they can only be so similar. However, I'm mostly talking about the trend of moving away from what made each series great towards more generic flicks with a particular director's flare. If what you're saying is true, it's a moot point though.

    Anyone ever check out some of those Vader comics that were released with the Legends Series? That dude is beyond villainous. They were good stories, but it's good they aren't canon. There is no way you can see the things he did and believe he'd ever be redeemable.

    heres my battlefront 2 gameplay videos. the beta ended 2 days ago 3 different maps 3 game modes and an arcade mode
    arcade mode

    strike

    galactic assault. unlike last years battle front there are no pickups just load outs and star cards and the combat is class based you can become there are 4 basic classes assault, heavy, officer, and specialist but you can unlock jet troopers, flame troopers, wookie, vehicles and heroes by gaining enough points during battle I was able to play as a super battle droid in this match

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xUUp9m7Vjw

    Starfighter assault. the controls are similar to 2005's battlefront 2 wit pitch and roll flight controls. I went In immediately attacking enemy fighters instead of going after objectives which I started to do midway through the video

    theres no season pass the all dlc will be free. there are loot boxes for upgraded etc. a lot of gamers are whining about that but whatever I have no problems with it.

    Who cares most of the old movies were boring any way and insurrection was a flop, the only good movies was wrath of khan, the voyage home, the undiscovered country, and generations. I never saw star trek nemesis either. The first two star trek reboot movies were good. The third one was slightly over the top but it wasnt bad either.My only problem with the reboot is they made sulu ? to push the agenda. Even the original sulu didnt like it . They could've made a random red shirt extra ? if they wanted to do that.I'm not feeling zoe saldana as lt. Uhura either.They shoul've gotten a no name actress to play that role.

    The ? the Sulu ? thing was very very understated and if you aint really looking for it you will miss it. And probably thats more accurate about the future than just having straight people running ? in the future.

    Yeah it wasn't that much implied but i'm saying why make a well known character who wasn't originally ? do that when they coul'dve just had a ? extra? It would've served the same purpose.
