One can hope, but to entrust them with the fate of the Galaxy? I don't know... Isaac Send a noteboard - 19/11/2012 11:30:48 AM
...to go completely off-topic now :P

The company that gave us The Avengers, Pirates of the Carribean & Wall-E are TOTALLY going to screw up the company that gave us The Phantom Menace and Crystal Skull.

George Lucas made many a good film - though I occasionally doubt how much of the 'good' was actually his work - and screwed up the prequel horribly basically by adding an element of 'cute' and trying to work in a half-assed love story. Neither Marvel or Disney are any good with the latter and Disney might well be tempted to double down on the Jar-Jar - well Lucas already doubled down on Jar-Jar, effectively Jar x 2, I fear Disney might give us a Jar², an abomination greater than any spawned in history.

...I think many of the young, fresh writers (like Arndt who's writing Ep.7) are well aware of the reception of the prequel trilogy and Jar Jar. I am 100% sure they won't make the same mistakes again. Of course it'll be a PG 13 film and there will be some cuteness in one way or another. But those opposed to that didn't like the Ewoks either and I have no hope for those people either way ;)


Well the Ewoks kinda sucked IMO but not 'ruin the movie' bad. There is room for limited cuteness, prissy androids and all, but I fear Ep7 may simply provide more laser cannon fodder for Red Letter Media... not that I won't be at the theater watching it anyway of course, I survived all the bad Trek movies.
