I think all of our little rules about what makes it good/not good, should/must/can never happen, have to go in the trash. We're looking at maybe EIGHT movies in ten years, it's a totally new animal now. The director will have to just go with his gut and ignore us or it'll be a total clown show.

Not that I don't necessarily agree, but that's like telling the public to stop voting, because we aren't informed enough to understand government policy. It's still an important part of the process to keep the audience feeling involved and relevant.

Not to mention that the writers, director, producers, and many others who are involved go through a similar process in deciding what to do with these films. It all starts with discussion. They just don't have years to bounce ideas off of one another like we do. But I'm sure they have just as much fun discussing these things as we do. And as a testament to this particular site, I think we are probably the most modest in terms of what we would like to see. These forums are made of amateur film makers, story fanatics, and star wars fans. I think we're actually pretty good at developing, critiquing, and discussing ideas.
