If they want to go low profile, choose me! I have no film, writing, or directing experience. That's as unestablished as they come.

I'll be the Kurtz to your Lucas, buddy!

I can't wait to lose myself in the heaps of praise I'll receive, giving me sole credit for the work in which you and many others will be so important, then later can your ass for disagreeing with my shifting focus away from quality storytelling and toward merchandising and brand sales.

And you can go on to make billions of dollars, and I'll hold onto my integrity, but slip further and further into relative obscurity! It's gonna be awesome!

 

Also, the Trevorrow article has been updated to say no.

And while you hold onto your integrity, I'll lose mine in a black hole of retcon edits and middle fingers to my fans, while at the same time delivering Jar Jar Binks to the world. I'll then whine about people not appreciating my art and make numerous threats that I'm done with making big movies, that I only want to make small films in my garage that nobody cares about. Then, I'll surprise everyone by taking another beloved franchise and giving that a poor sequel. Then I'll sell it all for $4 billion dollars.

Watching the OT: "Wow, cool, a Jedi using a lightsaber!"

Watching the PT: "There are like a hundred weird ass looking Jedi using lightsabers on the screen at once..."

I agree in essence of what zombie is saying. My only addition would be that this contrast of the Old Jedi ways and Luke's progressive reform is less the result of a well-executed plan and more the result of going from having good screenwriting to having poor, unreviewed screenwriting.

Sorry, had to sneak that dig in there, but it's true. The Jedi in the PT were perhaps meant to be a little unsympathetic, but at the same time they were so damn dull and stupid.

Plus, I'd add that Yoda and Obi-Wan had to make exceptions for Luke's age and attachments, since he was their last hope (but there is another!).
