How do you feel about Star Wars Episode VII?

"Bad touching my childhood" ... I couldn't have said it better. There's plenty of story to be told, and I'd like to have someone tell it. However, Lucas is the creator and even he sucked at telling it (the prequels) ... I have absolutely zero confidence in Disney to tell it. Peter Jackson, I'd trust him to tell it. Not Disney, not even Lucas himself ... any more movies that get made are going to be no different than that CGI series they make for kids. Seriously upsetting.

I'm with you 100%.

@Justin: The problem is that there were books that were considered canon by Lucas Arts ... if they deviate from them, they're ruining the franchise. I guarantee this will all end in tears and the Star Wars franchise will end up being a kids story on par with the Little Mermaid only for boys. "Bad Touch" indeed.

@John: Only idiots? Let me guess, you never saw the originals in the theater? The prequels were awful. Clone wars was so/so ... the other 2 were an insult to my childhood.

Trollster, you and me think exactly the same way. Crystal Skull sucked a55. Good one liners, but that was it. The originals used mysteries of mankind, the last one was based on a known hoax, and that's just lazy. So bad! Killer giant ants? Are you kidding me? That was terrible! Even Peter Jackson who I am a huge fan of is going to ruin The Hobbit. The Hobbit isn't supposed to be dark and brooding like LOTR ... it's supposed to be fun and light hearted. He's going to turn it into something like LOTR and it's not supposed to be. Damn Hollywood!

This question was based in opinion, I just want it to be known, NONE of the thumbs down were from me. Even if I disagree, opinion is opinion and everyone is entitled to their's. No one should thumbs down each other for expressing what they think.

I agree with you and the others. I am currently skeptical about those films, and believe they are completely unnecessary. Entertainment corporations like Disney try to squeeze out as much of the franchise as possible just for a quick buck. I had no problem with the prequels (the 3rd was my personal favorite of the prequels), but none of them match up to the originals. Sometimes, it seems that movie corporations are either remaking old films or making sequels or prequels to them just to get rich. Why can't people be original like the old days? However, this does not mean that I will never see the movies. Depending on the reviews, I might see the new "Star Wars" movies, but it will take some convincing.

By the way, I am excited to see "The Hobbit". I think it is really weird how they took a 270-page book and split it up into three movies. Although, it is made by the same people who made "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, so I am confident that they will be good.

I somewhat agree, but I can see how lucas would have made the last 3. When skywalker was being trained to be a sith lord.. he was told he would learn how to bring people back to life or something along those lines.. and vader was an awesome, if not the best sith lord so it would make sense that he would find out how to do this and do it on himself. Atleast.. this might be how lucas would have played it out if its true about them making more to this trilogy.

cant wait to see what they do... based on a book and recast or actually do it 40 years later and use original cast and piss off a lot of people

And Crystal Skull wasnt crap, just people dont seem to understand its story line

God knows why

by the way only idiots dont like the reedits of Star Wars.. each new part added things that were part of the story but left out.

it all comes down to the story line they use.

hundred plus books out there and its not supposed to be based on any

BIG MISTAKE

I am actually looking forward to the new Star Wars movies just saying...
