Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
Not trying to get into an argument about the movies vs. EU again, but I never thought while watching the original trilogy that Obi-Wan was only 50-60 years old, which is what he ends up being if you do the math from the prequels. *shrug*
Also, I had many, many hours of enjoyment playing the Clone Wars video game and Battlefront II. Great stuff.

For me the prequels threw out something which meant a lot to me.
To anyone who knows the books of Carlos Casteneda its quite obvious almost everything said about the Force in that is from Don Juan, especially in Empire where Yoda all but quotes him- this gave for me, even long before I encountered Castenedas work, a mystical genuine quality to it that set it above the average space action thing like Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon ect- without that aspect to it the prequels are just a lot of eye candy to me with no real heart or message to them any more.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
I don't see how adding Midichlorians makes it so there's no message anymore. But again, the Force is not what makes me like Star Wars. I like the Universe as a whole and the many different stories told in it, not solely those of Jedi. I can see your problem Petty, since you saw the originals first in theaters and you see Star Wars much differently than I do. The mysticism of the Force was such a key factor in the originals

Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
The way SW works though there really had to be an explanation if they were going to do prequels. Obi Wan said he had been a member of the Jedi Order, and it is implied that you have to able to use the force to be a Jedi. Without the Midichlorians, how could one know they could use the force, Luke obviously had no idea he could. Could anyone use the force? Obviously not otherwise the Emperor would have countless Non-Vader followers, (The Only 2 Rule came out with the Prequels). The idea of a Jedi Order is quite impossible to comprehend without having a way to know if someone could use the force. With the decision to make the prequels they had to come up with an explanation for the force.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
Not all- you could have a Jedi council in the same way you have a WC- you dont need to explain anything.
Yoda says the force flows through all living things- so yes, anyone can learn to use it, but some people have more of a natural predilection than others- no more needs be said.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
Jedi council maybe, but hundreds of Jedi without explanation, far fetched. Again, if anyone could use it, how are there not tons of people randomly sending things flying around (explanations for this came in later novels as well), and why does Palps not have an army of dark side force wielders?

Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
It looks like your dreams may come true Petty. It sounds like Abrams will only be producing ST3, rather than directing again. Also, SW7 might be pushed back further from 2015.
http://www.slashfilm.com/jj-abrams-will-produce-star-trek-3-2015-not-locked-for-star-wars-vii/
Before you start celebrating though, consider the possibility that Abrams collaborator Damon Lindelof, who shares responsibility with Ridley Scott for the massive trainwreck that was Prometheus, could become the new ST director.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, Lorient. At least this way if it does somehow turn out good I'll be pleasantly surprised instead of crushingly disappointed if it's bad.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
I watched Prometheus back again recently and found it much better second time through and perhaps more to it than I first gave it credit for- having said that i thought most of the characters were bland and two dimensional and I still dislike how everything looks way in advance of the tech seen in previous alien films supposedly set later than this one.
Ash and Bishop dont even seem to be as sophisticated an android and the ship looks like it belongs in Abrams ST rather than alongside the metal corridors and pipes of Aliens ships.

Yea, going in with low expectations gives more room for a better experience.

I hated pretty much all of the characters. Space Jesus didn't help matters either.

More to the point I felt like the movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be a horror movie IN SPACE or a philosophical movie about the origins of humanity. Ultimately it tried to be both and failed to be either. Lindelof's trademark "ask lots of questions and answer NOTHING" style of writing compounded the other flaws IMO.
Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
Apparently Lucasfilm/Disney have decided to bail on the idea of re-releasing the next five Star Wars movies in 3D. I went to see The Phantom Menace in 3D just because it was SW in a theatre but it underperformed expectations. More interesting, Lucasfilm apparently wants to "reboot the franchise" with the new trilogy. I'm not sure if this means a literal reboot or if they just want to win back fans' trust after the prequel debacle.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
Just to show me why I shouldn't trust Deadline (I shouldn't have needed the reminder
), Lucasfilm is now saying that they are delaying the 3D re-releases, not cancelling them.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII will be made now that Disney bought Lucasfilm
Yeah, that's the main reason why I went to see TPM in theatres. By the time I was aware of enough of movies to know that a Star Wars film was in theatres it was Revenge of the Sith, and because that was rated PG-13 I wasn't allowed to see it. :/ So the first time I saw a Star Wars movie on the big screen was just last year. I was pretty excited despite not being a big prequel fan.
I'm looking forward to seeing the original trilogy on the big screen, even if it is the Special Editions and they are in 3D.
