I hope Disney remakes the entire first trilogy.
@ABWorsham:

The new episode of Feb 2nd was pretty good. Didn’t see what’s his name getting involved. But it made perfect sense. And that was a pretty good fight scene. Was also very sad to see the Duchess’s misfortune. That was a dark episode.
I’d like to see all the good guys played by British actors, and all the evil slobs played by Americans.
Any news on star wars VII yet??
I believe J.J. Abrams is directing and that Mark Hamill, Harrison Foird and Carrie Fisher are all on board. But I could be wrong.

This is correct although it isn’t certain how much they’ll be in it. John Williams is on board to score it and a director of photography has been hired and it will be shot on 35mm but the DP is Abrams’s “guy” so any enthusiasm generated by Williams being on board as well as Luke, Leia, and Han is more or less out the window. I think Abrams is a terrible director and haven’t really been crazy about any of his movies.
Harrison Ford signed up for a Mega deal, Star Wars VII, VIII and IX and another Indi Jones movie.
He’s also supposedly discussing appearing in a Blade Runner sequal.
He’s getting damned old to play a replicant with a 4 year lifespan.

This is as good a place as any to throw this out there– 13 more episodes of The Clone Wars coming on Netflix: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/66172

New episodes from the cancelled last season?
Such good news, I didn’t even know it was canceled lol! Loved The Clone Wars, took some time to grow into itself but it’s definitely provided us with better material than the prequels did :D
Awesome, another 13 episode season my kids were excited over the news.
The Old, new Star Wars crew.
What you think??
Still have the scars from the rabid anticipation of 97-98. Star Wars is just another franchise now, it has a lot of prove in my book.

There’s some good actors there but JJ is directing it and writing it. No enthusiasm whatsoever. Too much riding on this for it to be anything but barely watchable “product cinema” overly influenced by focus group derived fan service “moments” at best with shaky cam and lens flare.
My hope is everyone will finally see Abrams for the hack he is.

Amen, Amen… truer words were never said.
While I do not necessarily wish it, it would be interesting to see if JJ Abrams Star Wars is actually better than George Lucas Prequel Star Wars.
Much of Lucas’ prequel trilogy is panned or ridiculed as not having lived up to the originals, so it is at least possible for Abrams’ version to be viewed as ‘better-than’ the prequels, even if marginally so. Honestly, I do not see how simply because of the fact that it is (1) JJ Abrams, (2) now an interminable, sellout, money-based franchise and (3) owned by Disney.
No anticipation here either.
I can’t argue that other than “Sith” the prequels are “good” movies but they are by no means travesties of cinema. They each have some pretty neat stuff in them despite maybe not overall “working.” I think at this point the pile on is just habit and not wanting to seem “uncool.” Like you’d be one of “those” fans instead of one of the cool nerds.
The example I use is “Temple of Doom.” It has some problems but the chief problem is it isn’t “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and this causes its problems to be unfairly magnified.
JJ is good at hype but he isn’t a good filmmaker and I think folks turn a blind eye to the mediocrity he churns out to justify buying into the hype. I think JJ is among those responsible for movies not needing to be good anymore as long as you can create enough hype. He’s a much better marketer than film-maker. (Marketer= makes an eskimo want to pay for snow.)
JJ stole one of the worst sequences from the Star Wars prequels for Trek (09) but I keep coming across those who vehemently hate the prequels but love the lens flared mess of JJ Trek.
Everyone will be so excited to see Han shoot first (mark it down, at some point Han will shoot before the other guy gets a chance) they’ll be willing to overlook the other mediocrity he’ll shovel at us.
