The Movie Thread

Abrams had Star Trek fans on his writing team and they still screwed it up.  Trek 3 will be the big test because it's completely in the hands of Bob Orci now and he's the so-called Trekkie of the team.  Some accounts have Lindeloff's influence hurting STID (magic blood and whatnot).  We shall see.  if Abrams influence on Star Wars is what resulted in more focus on the original leads, then thats a step in the right direction.  Rumour has it, the original screenplay was more focused on the kids and was loaded with EU references.  Abrams toned those down and focused on the originals (alledgedly).

There had been rumours of Palpatine appearing (Sith Ghost anyone?) as well as Ewen Macgregor made up to be an old Kenobi force ghost (which would be fantastic if you ask me).  We shall see.
