Yeah, it would be nice for them to tell George to fuck off, but the real problem with Star Wars was that Lucas was a money-grubbing whore. So, I'm pessimistic that adding Disney to the mix will change much. The only thing I'm hoping for is that they see the investment value in making quality movies, as opposed to churning out shit because they know everyone will see it anyway.

Although not as bad as I, Episode II was terrible on its own. And Episode III should be considered an abomination due to the fact that we got a mediocre movie out of what should have been one of the most epic story-lines in cinema history. I mean, it's the origin of Darth Vader. The fact that the movie was just "meh" is a crime against humanity.

It was George's first sell-out.
