ANH is such a wonderful and deceptively simple movie. For whatever reason I watched it with somewhat fresh eyes when I caught it on TV last night (SE, of course). It feels big, as a movie should, while feeling intimate despite being a space adventure. I fear that the new movie will feature something like the dreadful Yuuzhan Vong. If the PT did anything right, it was in not trying to be more serious, dramatic, or menacing (only phantomly) as many works of sci fi are (though it drifted listlessly that way in ROTS). So I hope the executives don't think Star Wars needs to be modernized, dramatic, menacing, or in the direction of the better-received ROTS.
