Your turn is coming, Star Wars fans.

As much as I love star trek, and indeed Star wars 4, 5 & 6, They needed to be left alone once they were done. However I know that's not how Hollywood works; find a brand that hasn't been totally and utterly raped and milk it for every penny by relying on the branding.

Star Trek for me ends at voyager, and Star wars at Jedi. The others are just superfluous.

I'm cautiously optimistic. J.J. Abrams did...OK by the Star Trek franchise (I think its main flaw was justifying its own existence as a reboot without erasing 30 years of Star Trek stuff with the alternate history bullshit). But it seems like, based on his use of 35mm film, practical effects, and desert locations, he at least got the technicals down so hopefully we won't see a washed out CGI PS2 cutscene mess like the prequels (gack, don't even get me started). We'll just have to wait and see with the story. Hopefully after this point, Disney will smarten up and not only allow people digitally purchase and rent all nine movies, but also release the spruced-up theatrical cuts of the original trilogy on Blu-ray (perhaps as part of a double-dipping ULTIMATE FORCE COLLECTION including all nine)!
Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
