It can't be any worse than what Lucas has already done to the franchise.

I disagree here. The latest triology is not as good as the original but they are great films, still way better than any superhero movie (other than the last two Dark Knight movies) of the last 20 years.

That being said, I don't think Disney will be a totally bad thing. They've got the writers and I'm excited for a Star Wars theme park in Orlando

Meesa tink you crazy. Meesa tink you head full of icky icky goo.

I don't consider Star Wars a, "superhero" movie, but just to play along...

Superhero movies better than the Star Wars prequels (off the top of my head):
X-Men
X2
X-Men: First Class
Spiderman
Spiderman 2
The Amazing Spider Man
Iron Man
Iron Man 2
The Avengers
Thor
Captain America
Batman Begins
The Incredibles (yep; I'd rather watch a Pixar movie than the prequels)

It's no coincidence that the best movie by far of the series (ESB), is the one that Lucas had the least amount of input.

And I'm looking forward to something original, something new that my inner nerd hasn't seen/read before in the star wars universe. Best of all, as long as the films keep making money, they'll keep on making em! new star wars for everyone, hurray!

That's what I think most of us were trying to say. I don't like the direction that Lucasfilms had taken the franchise. I have to disagree that the episodes 1-3 films are great films. I don't know that I could call 1 even a good movie. For a guy who created Darth Vader/Han Solo/Yoda etc to come up with a character like Jar Jar sounds like someone who is resting on his laurels. The movies did one thing well, and that is to paint the back story to how Anakin became Darth Vader. Other than that I, IMHO, find them mostly unwatchable.

Conch Republican · 10-31-2012, 01:19 PM

That made me laugh!

GTsetGO · 10-31-2012, 08:39 PM

i actually am looking forward to it.

doing some research with my Star Wars dork buddies, Disney is writing it themselves and it will not be based on any stories that have been release so far.

heck, they own marvel and have done a damn good job with the avengers movies.

and 8 and 9 are slated for production as well.

Malakai · 10-31-2012, 10:16 PM

Yep...I too look forward to seeing what they can come up with.

I spoke of my disappointment with episode 1 to my older brother after first watching it in the theater. His response made sense. He mentioned a few things I have since forgotten, and that it culminated in a a land, space, and lightsaber battle, all of which follow the formula of the previous movies. The problem was that after so many years I was expecting more. Sure, Jar Jar is annoying as hell and Anakin was whiney, but so was Luke. Luke was a whiny little SOB.

Anyway, the first three episodes may not have been perfect, but at least we have them.
