Rumors have been swirling recently that George Lucas may return to helm LucasFilm and steer the disaster that is Star Wars back on track. When news of this possibility started leaking Star Wars fans everywhere began to quiver with excitement, but I would urge caution. Not only because these rumors are still unsubstantiated and Disney seems intent on being as political and idiotic as possible, but also because this is George Lucas we’re talking about.
Remember, George Lucas is the one that gave us the Star Wars prequels. He’s the one that approved the casting of the annoying young Anakin Skywalker, and approved the casting of the annoying adult Anakin Skywalker. He’s the one responsible for the inconsistencies between the prequels and the original series, and for putting fifty billion things on screen at once all to delightfully obscure the main point of the scene.
While it’s true the prequels are better than the sequels, that’s not saying much. The prequels are also pretty terrible bits of movie making.
So while scrapping the sequels and remaking them under new leadership, any kind of new leadership, would be an improvement, one still has to be careful about getting too excited when George Lucas is involved.
loved your commentary about the prequels, aint that the truth. All that hype, all that waiting in line, all that being giddy for over a year only to be introduced to a kid that can't act and jar jar. Lucas did that. I think it might be time to just give up on the dumpster fire that is modern Star Wars, as much as it pains me to do so.
I agree with you. Or the fifty million different remasters George Lucas made of the original trilogy, each one tweaking this and tweaking that instead of just releasing the original theatrical release like people wanted. George Lucas only looks promising because of how much Disney has mishandled Star Wars, but George Lucas has mishandled it too. Not to mention the mess he made of Indiana Jones.
