While it's off topic for this thread, I'll have to completely disagree with that. Unless you are talking about some of the terrible movie adaptations of his work, which are hardly King's fault.
Stephen king is this way: shitty writer, shitty everything--besides his ideas. Put someone competent in charge of his ideas, good stuff happens.
actually....not really.
I liked Tron Legacy, but have you seen John Carter? That was made by Disney and it was seriously bad. Basically unwatchable.
sooo...
who cares?
like i said, unless it's a sequel or prequel to an awesome movie, i don't care how bad this 'john carter' movie flopped (even though i don't really consider a 7/10 a flop... although, the story sounds super lame).
best quote i've seen on this: "worrying that disney will ruin star wars is like worrying that a second iceberg will dive down to hit the titanic." :d
As long as they throw out any ideas Lucas had, episodes 7-9 could be good.
Any chance Disney will tweak episodes 1-3 to make them better. If Lucas was allowed to tweak 4-6, Disney should be able to do the same. And by tweak I mean anything from cutting out half the story that does not make sense to a full reboot to a story that does make sense. I remember Episode 1 and not understanding what was actually happening but giving it a pass, stupidly assuming Ep 2 would explain anything that went over my head. Boy was a i wrong.
Your opinion is shit!!
That movie was great for anyone who was a fan of the novels

i'm a fan of the novels but i didn't really care for the movie.
What exactly happened in 1 that you didn't understand? As bad as it was, as ridiculous as Jar Jar Binks was, there certainly wasn't anything in the movie that was hard to understand
Oh really, explain why there was a trade blockade Naboo? Why they wanted her to sign a treaty to make it official and How this advanced the agenda of Darth Sidious? And then after attempting Natalie Portman to sign the treaty Darth Sidious says it is good they are not going to sign it? WTF? It makes no sense. Also if Natalie Portman did sign the treaty how would that have helped Darth Sidious?
What? Why? I thought they did an excellent job personally. I loved the books when I was a kid, I've ever re-read the first 4 or so a few years ago, they are such easy reading. I think it took me 5 days to read the first 4, just devoured them and they are short.

I've never heard of the book and I loved the movie.
There was an article a few days ago where Lucas invite Hammill and Fisher to lunch something like 6 months ago and told them he had decided there would be a 7-9... you have to wonder if that foreshadows their involvement? The movie is actually in the exceedingly rare position that unlike other movies, they actually CAN do a story 30-40 years in the future while keeping the same cast. In my opinion, that would redeem the Star Wars franchise for the prequels.
Give it another 10 years and we'll probably have the ability to make very realistic CGI versions of people, dead or alive. It'll just be a bunch of people wearing green Spandex and motion-tracker tags, and they'll all be given CGI skins later on....
Oh, and it sounds like original concepts for the sequel trilogy followed a 30 or 40 year old Luke. I'm not so sure Mark Hamill could really pull that off now. But I think that was from the original stories back when IV, V, and VI were still fresh. Lucas may have altered those plans in the treatments he provided to Disney.
Oh god, the glare from the light sabers will fill most of the scene. Everyone in the audience, epileptic or not, will be convulsing violently during any duel.edit:
This got me thinking: who would we prefer to have the director's chair in the new series? With his - imho - successful production of Star Trek, among other things, I think J.J. Abrams could be a good fit. He doesn't necessarily need to be involved in the writing process, though he could lend a hand there. I have a feeling this wouldn't be happening though, as Abrams might be fairly tied up with the Star Trek series. It would be interesting for him to have credits as director for both the current/new Star Trek series as well as the new Star Wars movies.
Dude, you are rehashing Red Letter Media and you arent even funny.
And his points are valid. Episode 1 makes no sense, it made no sense long before Red Letter Media did that funny video.
