Hey Mr. Cruise, George Lucas wants his Adventures of Luke Starkiller script back. The main plot point is this:

I managed to miss the moment when they mentioned who the adversary was...Russia? China? A rogue group? They never rementioned it later in the movie. Just that these folks had "fifth gen fighters" so our superiority was minimized. Tom is brought in to train the best of the best youngins for the above, including Goose's son (I never saw the original, but apparently that was important). Lots of hitting the nostalgia button. It was nice to see Mr Kilmer reprise his Iceman role. After watching the Val doc, I thought his film career was over. They never have a successful practice, but go ahead with the mission anyway (!?).
Among the never explained things: why does the one woman hot shot pilot need a man along where the other hot shot pilots fly solo?
So much motorcycle riding, yet Tom never wears a helmet.
