OMG, I hadn't checked my emails for a few days!! What a fool I was to subscribe to this topic. Haha!! I had like 200 topic update notices. It will be impossible for me to read every post, but the recent bombshell thrown at fans by George Lucas sure has promoted some lively discussion.
Just one thing I hope is that Disney remains true to Lucas's vision and doesn't adopt a version of the "Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Pothead" style. Just because those kinds of films were successful for younger audiences today does not mean that Star Wars should throw out the Force in favour of magic. Lucas sometimes delved into the world of witches and magic with the Ewoks cartoon series and Clone Wars. In small doses it works and compliments the idea of an all-encompassing life Force. It concerns me a bit that a style like the Italian fan film Dark Resurrection may be adopted which could send Lucas's original vision way off track. Any future SW films will need to remain true to the original idea.
