Idk Im never optimistic about Starwars anymore but Disney did the Avengers, so maybe this will be decent and better then the other trilogy with Anakin and Jar Jar.

Can we really even call it a trilogy anymore? What's the word for a series with nine parts? Nonology?

Fitting, considering "NO NO" is the first thought for most of us.

If all the lasers have been replaced wih nerf-guns, Miley Cyrus is the new Padme, Stormtrooper song and dance, and Mickey Mouse as the new head of the Jedi council means "good", then yes.

This would be awesome.

Because that worked so well for the prequels. :roll:

Face it Lucas did a lot for the original movie, but he had people to reign him in. And he wasn't even close to in charge in either of the sequels. For Empire Strikes Back, widely regarded as the best film, he wasn't the director, producer, or even a script writer. For RotJ he was again neither the director nor the producer, although he did share screenwriter credits that time. Where as he wrote and directed all three prequels, which all pretty much sucked. So no Lucas should definitely not have full total control.

Same... then again, they've destroyed it pretty thoroughly.
I mean, the Special Edition was bad enough. (Han shot first btw!) Then along rolled Ep.I and I went... meeehhh... let's hope with the II...
Ep.II was the last Star Wars movie I watched in its entirety. I tried to watch Ep.III but that's way too horrible.

Really, George.

Quit it.

Please.

A saga.

A saga which should never be made.

I look forward to everyone looking forward to some sort of series of movies based on Heir to the empire only to realize that Disney decides that previously published material is meaningless and produce something else completely.

It's a "Ennealogy" says wikipedia.

And she dyed herself red.

Maybe she wants to play Mara Jade.

Why do people think it's going to end up like a Disney Channel production?

"Star Wars Episode One, the Phantom Menace, was the most disappointing thing since my son. And while my son eventually hanged himself in a gas station bathroom, the Starwars prequels will always be there. They will never go away"

"Star Wars Episode Two, Attack of the Clones, was the worst thing made by a human being since bagpipes. It was even worse than Episode One!"

Tron looked nice, but apart from that had a below standard plot and sub par acting.

The guy who owned the bar was doing a great job stealing that movie.

Why not. Maybe they'll get it right.

I can't imagine it could be worse than the prequels unless they actually try to make it worse.

Lucas needs to be kicked upstairs though. His original film's success owed a lot to his creativity but he has been nothing but a hindrance ever since. Funny how the best film in the series was the one he had the least to do with...

He did the same thing to most recent Indiana Jones. Just ran right over poor Stephen Spielberg...

There WILL be a song in each movie. Massive stormtrooper dance scene.

Someone has yet to persuade me that this is necessarily a bad thing...

What do you guys think of this? My first reaction was "shit. They're going to destroy Star Wars even more." But maybe Disney could do good with the franchise, as long as they don't put in a Jar Jar Binks Jr. or something.

We can only hope. I still have a glimmer of hope that a decent director and decent writers.

Studios don't "do" movies, writers, directors, and (to a lesser extent) producers "do". Studios just set the guidelines and pull the plug if things get too out of hand.

Even with that caveat, I don't think SW is salvageable (to my taste). I have no doubt Disney will make money off of it, though.
