Are most big movies now following this formula? I am concerned that Star Wars 7 - however well-written, acted, directed - will be bottled up in such a manner and feel uninspired, however "really good" it may be. Some of Disney's and other companies' recent efforts heighten this concern.
Would or could a new Star Wars movie change cinema the way it is said to have done in '77? Or is cinema no longer susceptible to such alterations of course?
I'm not wanting a crazy avant-garde Star Wars, but could it show enough heart to stand out as something more than 'another (really good) Star Wars movie'?
