A lot of pessimism on this board. I expected people to be excited at the prospect of new movies without Lucas screwing them up.

In all honesty, I think the new movies will be good. Because it makes sense business-wise to make good movies. I'm sure Disney knows how special this property is, and how much pressure is being directed at them. I seriously doubt they're gonna screw this up.

Think of all the film makers who are huge SW fans. I highly doubt they'll hire just some hack to do this. I imagine somebody getting the job based on how driven they seem. I mean, hell, they hired freakin' James Gunn for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Really, If I get a new Star Wars movie that is fun and doesn't suck, I think it'll be great.

Also, do you think some of the actors from the original movies have been signed for the new ones without us knowing it?
