That's funny. I thought they were already Disney films.

You're confusing them with "The Black Hole".

There have only ever been 3 "good" Star Wars movies... and they stopped being good when George Luca$ insisted on repeatedly fucking with them.

Star Wars is a kiddy movie. Nothing wrong with that of course.

I want Harry Potter vs Darth Vader (both naked wrestling in mud).
Hermione and Leia jello wrestling would be fun to watch ... :mrgreen:

Yes, we did not need to see Jar Jar Binks in 3D. He was good enough as he was!

This might be a good development, providing Lucas remains in the "creative consultant" role he's supposed to be in. He should not be in the director's seat again. Probably shouldn't do much scriptwriting either, although I give him some credit for making (most of) Episode III a good one.

But in response to the suggestion that things could get interesting if Jerry Bruckheimer gets involved... I'll pull my hair right out of my head if that jackhole goes anywhere near Star Wars. I'd rather see Episode VII released as an animated comedy than as whatever that guy would do.

There have only been two good Star Wars movies - the original first one, and the sequel. The third one sucked because it repeated the goal of the first one - destroy Death Star 2. Plus, Ewoks. NISM?

Bruckheimer did okay with Pirates of the Caribbean, at least the first one anyway.

Have they gotten the "no ewoks," "no jar jar" and "stop it with the comic relief!" messages yet?

But, will they also make the sequel to Spaceballs? Spaceballs II, Revenge of the Taint?
