    I'm not a big fan of the prequels, but I've never agreed with people who rant that they ruin the original films. What does spoil the original films somewhat is George Lucas being unable to stop tinkering with them. OK it doesn't 'spoil' them as such, but it's irritating. Either way, maybe if they allow some other filmmaker(s) to play with the Star Wars universe something good could come of it.

    I don't think the new films ruined the original trilogy exactly, more that they were a bit of a disappointment and a departure from the originals. That wasn't entirely unexpected. To be fair to the prequel trilogy, I actually thought Revenge of the Sith was quite a good film.

    I appreciated the fight scenes in the new trilogy. It was nice to see lightsabers get swung around in way better graphics. The original is still my favourite, but I can see the newer trilogy building on either the books, or it could just be a super far off future. If it takes off after the Cade Skywalker storyline from Dark Horse (or they make a movie that negates that stupid story all together) I'd be happy.

    I'm with you for a few reasons as well. First off, I hated the prequels so if Lucas is less involved then I say its a good thing. Second, maybe this means we'll get blu-ray releases of the original versions from before Lucas started to cock them up.

    I support the distancing of George Lucas and any designing processes, regardless of what they are. I'd be happy for the Lazy Town crew to take Star Wars, as long as they forced Lucas to make the tea and nothing else.

    Does this make Leia a Disney Princess?

    I don't get why anyone would not be excited about this.

    I don't see this as a bad thing, either. If anything, I think it's a good idea that someone else takes over.

    Mr. Lucas is rich enough.

    I also think it could be a good think to get some fresh minds and fresh creative perspective behind a Star Wars film again. My main concern is how much "consulting" they plan to let George do.

    They have some pretty good story to work with, already sitting there. There's a chance they'll make the films right.

    You guys should stop worrying about the movies to be made and more about how this will affect KH3.

    As Marvel's acquisition by Disney has shown: not at all.

    Unless I'm mistaken, Activision owns the rights to publish video games with most, if not all, Marvel characters. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but there may be some licensing issues.

    I'm iffy about this.
    It could go either way really, pretty good or pretty horrid.
    I'll definitely see them all regardless, besides I'm easily entertained and pleased. Hell, I enjoyed and still enjoy the prequels, even though I basically wrote an essay on whats wrong with them.
    Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
