The BEST thing is if Lucas has ZERO input on it. Then it might be good.
I'm excited for this. Disney has been involved with the Star Wars franchise since the 1980's. Yes they have merchandised it, but also have done quite a bit of fan service. Keep in mind that Disney bought Marvel, and gave us the Avengers, a quality, action flick, that got it right. The same could be said with Pixar's output, excepting Cars 2.
A huge reason that the prequels failed was that Lucas surrounded himself with a bunch of yes men. (Watch the prequel documentaries to see this in action.) Now with Lucas just being "creative consultant", they can take his good ideas and ignore his bad ones. This is the formula that worked well for Empire and Jedi.
I hope ur right donut hole (i agree avengers was extremly well done) but i respectfully disagree on one point: jedi wasnt that good. Common.... The empire defeated by ewoks?
This series is dead. Its over. The Yuuzhan Vong couldnt even make it interesting as they're too Trekky. Personally, I'd like them to take an obscure Dark Horse ark, and make a stand alone film. Give Darth Maul, or Boba Fett the story they deserve. Make us forget Darth Vader screaming no like a long term care resident upset because they ran out of apple sauce.
I wish the Ewoks were the only thing that was wrong with Return of the Jedi. The Jabba the Hutt sequence had a bit too much humour and slapstick to it, especially since Jabba was from the very beginning portrayed as a vicious gangster. Though the character itself and his appearance was so striking it has made its way into pop culture, the whole scene was too comical for its own good. It failed to portray the seriousness of the situation that Luke, Han, and Leia were in. Not only was I certain that everyone was going to get out alive, it would have a melodramatic climax to it all.
Gary Kurtz rightfully criticised the inclusion of a second Death Star. (For more info, check this link: http://www.ign.com/articles/2002/11/11/an-interview-with-gary-kurtz ) Kurtz was Lucas' original co-writer and had more of an influence on Empire than Lucas did. Lucas in fact had a nervous breakdown during Empire and threatened to scrap the whole thing because he thought it was boring. Kurtz was raised a Mormon, but left and dabbled in other religions, particularly eastern ones. He came up with the entire mythology of the Force, while Lucas envisioned Luke as more of a cowboy/renegade type character. He finally split with Lucas after Empire over disagreements with the Return of the Jedi script. Han Solo was originally to be killed in the middle of the movie in a raid on an Imperial base, and the movie was to end on an ambiguous note with Luke heading off into the unknown, and Leia struggling with Han's death and her newfound leadership responsibilities. Kurtz reveals in the interview that Lucas decided to change the script to a more happier ending with Han still alive due to merchandising reasons. More toys to be sold. Leia was not to be Luke's sister, and the Emperor was only to make his appearance in a later sequel, as well as Luke's real sister.
The penultumate scene with Vader, Luke and the Emperor was the only thing that salvaged Return of the Jedi for me. It is there that you realise the helplessness of Luke's situation as he is revealed to be no match for the Emperor. Vader redeems himself, saves Luke, and brings it to the proper conclusion. I have a nagging suspicion that Lucas had help on that sequence (or perhaps was a remnant of what Kurtz originally wrote), because it's a little too deep for Lucas' style. If George had his way, one of the Ewoks might have taken out the Emperor by mistake. It's easy to see how much control Lucas had by the end of Return of the Jedi that hardly anyone has the gumption to challenge him on anything. From here he went into the Special Editions, and then the prequels. One can only hope that Disney brings in a talented team of writers and conceptualists. Lucas strikes me as the type of man who can come up with a nice abstract idea and bizarre concept, but is lacking in screenwriting and directing skills.
By default, it will be better than The Phantom Menace. So, theoretically, it could only become the 2nd worst movie if things go horribly wrong, right?
Have you ever seen The Return to Oz?
Very interesting stuff, Las Malvinas. I think a lot of what was wrong with the prequels was already in place in Episode 6.
BTW I got to go to Skywalker Ranch the same month the Phantom Menace came out. It was pretty damn cool. Loved seeing all the Indiana Jones props.
You are all retarded. Jedi gave us the metal bikini.
End of story.
I saw the prequels. They were freaking horrible. I hope this is not true. If you have any doubt about the prequels being bad movies... please watch this:

Then when you finish watching that and laughing your ass off, watch the review of the next two movies.
