I’m glad Lucas did this. Otherwise it would have been Celebrity Star Wars.

Plus he would risk jumping the shark.

Perhaps he already has as I have not seen 2 and 3.

GOD WHY

Will they screw up the Star Wars franchise EVEN MORE, or will they make something Star Wars related that is actually watchable?

Hopefully George Lucas will have NOTHING to do with ANYTHING Star Wars related for the rest of forever, cause’ nothing but good things can come from him being MILES AWAY FROM THINGS THAT I LIKE.

Episodes 1 to 3 burn in a fire delivered directly from hell.
Hayden Christensen is the worst actor ever.

(in case you couldn’t tell, i’m slightly upset over the state of the star wars franchise)

***Did George finally admit that he can’t make a movie worth watching anymore?***

Have you forgotten his greatest masterpiece HOWARD THE DUCK!

If I remember correctly, the original plan called for nine movies. Mark Hamill was contracted to be in Episodes 7,8 and 9.

I hope they have money left over to make the movie after they spend a billion on RFID chips for their theme park guests.

YES. PLEASE GOD YES.

That would be the best thing to happen to Star Wars in forever.

Unless you have a taste for a combination of moronic dialog and incredibly bad acting which no amount of special effects could save, don't bother. That shark was jumped, stumped, and beaten into a coma.

If they follow what happened in the books it’ll be really dark and depressing. The fall of the Empire actually has a lot of bad repercussions, mostly because it’s a huge Empire with large military forces not particularly willing to hang it up just because some dude they never met died.

Really bad Engrish, but suggests the idea of Darth Jar Jar.

That alone is worth a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNQ5ue9A35I&feature=related

Unca Darth Maul.

Awesome.

No, the real scary part is...Jar Jar as a cast member costume at the Parks in five...four...three...

Hamill has aged rather poorly, so I expect Disney to just eat that contract and find somebody else.

Knowing Disney, they’ll do 7 as a gay propaganda film with their LIBERAL BS!!
