Abandon the EU, make it about geriatric Jedi, who gives a fuck? They could film a Jawa sitting on the pot straining to drop a turd and they'll make a billion dollars.

Registered 8 years agoThis is great news, I guess it'll serve as a reboot like the new Star Trek, could even have a couple of the original actors in to bridge the gap. They might as well have announced VIII and IX along with it because they're obviously going to happen. Lucas will be nowhere near it so it probably won't suck. I've always though Star Wars would be a pretty hard franchise to fuck up, and I'm already feeling pretty confident that this one will be at least decent. -

Registered 4 years agoThey pretty much HAVE announced 8 and 9. They've committed to 2015 for the first one and said more films will follow in the following years.Now with 80% more Cthulhu!

So they're 'real' Star Wars fans because they have terrible taste in films and are happy to accept any old shit in that universe as being good.
Check reviews of the films all over (Amazon is a good start). Others have overcome the initial review trashing that was popular at first. Real star wars fans have started to be more pragmatic about all the films, and been able to watch the newer films without the burden of +20years expectation, and feeling 1,2,3 have to yield to 4,5,6's historical requirements to be great.

@Ignatius_Cheese
So selling the franchise you've been working on (and ruining) for decades isn't whoring out for cash?

Registered 6 years agoCrazy sums of money, this. I guess we'll only be able to judge once the films are out.
Pros: Lucas won't be back behind the camera. IMO, the best 2 Star Wars films were the two he didn't direct, and that can't be coincidence.
Cons: everything else. Disney will kiddy-fy it even further (expect more Ewoks and Jar Jars, not less). I just don't feel we need more SW really.
I do doff my cap to Lucas though: he's sure made an obscene amount of cash from one idea!Why look, it's a blog:

Pretty much my thoughts edd. As others have said, Disney can make some decent "grown up" kids films so let's see. And let's not kid ourselves, that's exactly all SW ever was. -

Joss Whedon already did an awesome TV series and film about Han Solo. It was better without all the Jedi nonsense.

Registered 8 years agoI wouldn't debate that there are people around now who can handle Star Wars better than Lucas... I mean, look at the guy, he clearly hasn't given a damn about making movies for years! He has no passion for it whatsoever.
However, Star Wars should just be left the hell alone! Why do we need more? Make cartoons, games, books if you must... but, please, no more films! -

Personally I don't care. I saw the prequels and hated them. Now I pretend they never happened.
What I'd love is a mockumentary series set in the SW universe.
Or a Reboot overseen by Michael Bay. Possibly directed by Zack Snyder.If you can read this you really need to fiddle with your forum settings.

I really hope they don't have Mark Hamill in the next film. He does great voice work, but he looks like crap nowadays.

Registered 4 years agoFuck a reboot, just make it look like the old films. I'd love to see the Thrawn trilogy, but then you've got to think about who will play Luke and Han etc. The best thing would probably be just to start a new story, with a new set of characters. -

Registered 8 years agoWhy reboot? Because of the rage it might invoke. That is the best chance of getting entertainment out of the franchise at this stage.
I have just thought of a perfect piece of recasting for Darth Vader. Christian fucking Bale. I mean come on he has silly voices down pat and I am sure he could come up with something special for Darth.
