Modern Spielberg’s concepts tend to suck. Not his execution. He’s a seasoned vet at what he does behind the camera, even though the plot, resolution, subtext etc. may not be appealing. It’s the other way around for a lot of popular directors, particularly the ones who’d end up on a fanboy’s wishlist for a movie like Star Wars.
I’m saying Spielberg is an ace director, not that he needs to direct SW over anyone else.
I thought Indy was just distributed by not a subsidiary of

Nope, Disney owns Indy now. The only place it gets fuzzy, is the OT of Star Wars. Fox still has a LOT of those rights, until the contract runs out (mainly distribution). Disney owns ILM now too.
Oh, I agree, he’s still one of the greatest directors of all time, but he’s not even close to being a Star Wars style of director. I’d say Josh Whedon would be better, especially after shit like Serenity (and the fact they have him under contract for until 2015).
What’s really scary, is the fact that even though Lucas is just a consultant for Star Wars, Episode 7, 8, 9 are his stories. He basically just handed them over to Disney. At least we know that Disney can now tell him “No george, thats a horrible idea, and we’re gonna do it this way instead”.
Any word from any of the original trilogy cast? You’d think somebody somewhere would ask if they’re involved at all.
From Mark Hamill’s Twitter:
“Congratulations to George for today’s mega-deal! Can’t comment on Ep 7 before I have all the facts which are short supply right now-Patience”
sounds like there’s a chance. Carrie Fisher put up a video of her pug humping her arm, and said they’re excited about the news.
I MIGHT give the new movies a chance if they use actual movie sets and props instead of this cartoony cgi green screen crap for EVERYTHING. I still get a little pissed off when I see behind the scenes footage of Lucas sitting on his fat ass pointing at a bunch of monitors.
new three killed the OG three.
except for Jango.
fuck reading a book to get the full experience, get better actors.
I wonder if this had anything to do with it:

Justin Bieber for Anakin. Bring back the poor comic relief. I’ll make sure (not) to watch this. What passes for “Star Wars” today, is a shameful disgrace.
With this purchase I now truly believe that provided they keep getting money from the Marvel properties movies and Star Wars films, Disney is likely to purchase Nintendo if they don’t place better then second in the next generation consoles.
The weird part is that I think I want that to happen now.
I’m crossing my fingers for Brad Bird to do it.
come on baby, episode 7 better be the siege of coruscant… then time skip for eps 8/9 (plenty of massive conflicts /w luke, leah, han all being supporting characters instead of main characters)
JGL as Luke Skywalker. In the first act, he rounds up as many Force-sensitives as he can find, having many perilous adventures along the way. The second act takes us to Yavin 4, where he sets up the Jedi Academy. Training is conducted and conflicts are resolved through competitive Street Fighter, which culminates in a tournament that Luke wins in an improbable upset. This proves that he is the undisputed Jedi Master from now until evermore. The third act is an unrelated dance musical that takes place with the desert animals in Jabba’s abandoned palace.
And that’s just the first movie!

Anakin was Vader. Vader died in Episode VI. Episode VII takes place after VI. I hope I didn’t spoil that for you.
Naa, just use the New Jedi Order stories, and be done with it. SHOW ME CHEWIE FUCKING DIE
and now for the important question:
WHO OWNS THE RIGHTS TO THE STAR WARS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL?
If Chewie dies, Lando Calrissian will be the only black man left in the galaxy.
Come on, guys. Chewie is tall, he’s incredibly strong, he speaks in garbled nonsense, and his boss is a white guy. Tell me he isn’t black.
Okay. He isn’t black.
You son of a bitch.
While we’re at it, let’s have Johnny Yong Bosch voice over any CGI made character.
