lol well that's definitely plausible...

I never got into the books that carried the original stories forward, and I'm certainly tired of the Skywalker family, so boo to an episode 7. I want really good prequels. Too bad Bioware couldn't get a $4B loan.

I'd be really happy with hi-tech CGI graphics movies with really dark, detailed scenery in a more comic book tradition. Give me a Star Wars version of Spawn, aka really dark jedi slowly heading towards the light and the constant back and forth struggle.

Essentially, Jedi are the superheroes. The superhero movies that do the best, are the ones that put a lot of attention to detail in the emotional struggles. Superman has nearly no weaknesses, so his enemies have to exploit his humanity. That's where it's at.

It's a sad day for all old school fans over the world. The prequels did a serious blow to the old trilogy, to the point that some hardcore fans have a difficult time sticking with the franchise anymore.

Let's hope they at least manage to make kick-ass movies out of the Thrawn trilogy!

It can goes in any direction. Disney have had very bad and allso guite desent movies... If this will be new "toy driven" children film adaptation, we have to worry a lot. If it will be more like new BattleStar Galactica was compared to the original, there is hope... And I am more in worrying side at this moment...

As long as Disney hires a great writer and director team like Nolan and Goyer as well as solid actors/actresses, I believe that the Star Wars saga will continue to have a great legacy for future viewers.

As long as they use Zahn's Thrawn trilogy and cannibalize the comics, novels, cartoons like Nolan did for TDK and TDKR, I don't have to worry. On the other hand, The Caribbean Pirates--For the Love of Disney, please stop making those horrible movies.

After all, Disney can't make it as bad as Lucas did when he created Star Wars: A Holiday Special during the 1977-78 TNH success and high.
