I actually think this is going to turn out AMAZING, and I grew up with the originals. Though, I enjoyed the 1st and 2nd as well, not so much the third. Not sure why all the hate. Sure, they werent the same as the 4th 5th or 6th. But, when you add a lot of technology, thats going to happen when you go from props to CG.
But ya, this one will be amazing. Disney, and JJ. How can you go wrong?
wait a minute one man is in charge of both star trek and star wars?!
i smell an illuminati plot to control the geeky masses.
or someones got the best combination of luck and talent ever. or both
I don't think Lucas can legally do anything and it doesn't sound like he really wants to be bothered with it.
right. i totally forgot about the disney deal. then again someone who is crazy enough to bastardize his own work after decades and thinking he's doing the right thing... gah star wars is such a mess. the only works that really added anything to the star wars universe for me were kotor i and ii because they're really incredibly well done. abrams has skill but its also a huge undertaking. i really wish him good luck and hope that anyone, lucas, disney, whoever stays out and doesn't try to make the thing 'kids compatible' by adding more unfunny 'jokes' or a jarjar. lens flares are just a minor issue compared to that.
Im really excited for this, the originals hold my upmost respect and for some reason I dont mind them milking this franchise; perhaps its come to be expected when it comes tot he Star Wars name. I would love to work on this project.
From what I've read Lucas & co wanted to have their tv-shows etc as low budget as possible. This actually gives me hope, not that I'm a particular JJ Abrams fan but at least they'll put some effort into making it good.
The last trilogy was very focused on jedis and I hope they try to focus on the "regular" people this time.
Well, you know either of the Star-camps will go apeshit over the movies he makes, if they are better for the other camp, even if their camp movie is great.
I heard a funny rumour about 10 years ago that Lucas actually wanted to do the last three episodes but he had divert from this plan as Carrie and Mark didn't want to do it and the last three films were going to be more dialogue driven he felt that the audience would respond better to the more action orientated episodes. Which prompted his decision to do the first three in the end. Upon reflection this makes sense as when Phantom Menace came out that was soon after the era of Arnold and Stallone action films that came out in the 80's and early 90's. I mean this rumour might be complete crap but that's what I heard can't remember from where though.
I have no real logical rationale for this opinion but I believe these last three might actually be really good and J.J abrams will be made to look like some genius.

He does great work.... but i'm not so sure about him doing starwars.
Nah nah man you're doing it all wrong! They gotta stretch horizontally across the whole screen dude. :poly142:
Lucas? Where is Lucas, there's no Lucas.

This is still funny though.

This is a good thing.
I think he'll/they'll do a good job. He's probably a better fit for Star Wars to begin with.

albums for episodes 1-3 were full of win.
