You finally said something intelligent.

The Drinker is a great one.

LMAO He does get a bit obvious with his agenda at times, but yeah, he's pretty entertaining to listen to, especially when it's ripping something apart.

Seems like there is basically zero chance this is any good.

Seems to be trending that direction. I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong.

New rumors suggest that they'll sell Lucasfilm back to George due to billions lost from shutting down Star Wars cruises and very little cashflow coming from Disney World.

I don't know why Lucas would want any part of that hot mess at this point.

For the right price??? Older fans might be back on board with some new content from Lucas.

Besides the absurd amount of money was paid, I thought the backlash from his last trilogy being dog shit convinced him to hang it up.

Lucas got a little weird later in his career. I'm not sure I want this property defiled any further at this point.

Lucas admitted that he was done with his studio because of fan backlash. I can't imagine he wants to deal with it again.

He just needs a proper filter and it would probably be semi decent.

This would be an all time flop.

Looks like the final nail in the coffin. It's going to be horrible.

Lucas was always weird, but early on his weird ideas were tempered by others, primarily Gary Kurtz. Later on, when he became obscenely rich and all powerful, well, that's when you started to see things go to hell. Depending on who you believe, Lucas either whacked Kurtz after Empire or Kurtz just threw up his hands and said enough. I assume the former is probably the truth.

The last movie he oversaw that was worth a shit was ROTJ, and even with that you had the stupid teddy bears killing storm troopers, which was a horrible harbinger of things to come. I'll never forget the lost, hopeless look on producer Rick McCallum's face while he was watching outtakes from Phantom Menace, silently and powerlessly listening to Lucas drone on about how cool all his bad decisions were. Poor bastard looked like he wanted to cry.

The massive awfulness of the final trilogy doesn't excuse the somewhat less awfulness of I-III.
