Yes, the Star War franchise, having reached bottom with Jar Jar binks, will now begin to dig under the direction of same J J Abrams who made Captain kirk look more rediculous than senile, bloated William shatner ever could.

I think I've said before that almost any other director would be better than Lucas, the one person who doesn't understand how Star Wars works; however I think they can do so much better than Abrams. I've not yet seen anything of his that I found coherent, let alone watchable, including his "let's cram in as many classic series references as we can, appropriate or not, so the audience won't notice the plot holes" Star Trek effort.
On the other hand, this is going to happen whether the audience wants it to or not; and like the well-trained puppies we are, we'll pay to lap it up regardless.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yeah, Lucas bears all the mark of a talentless man who got incredibly lucky once, and ever afterwards, egged on by his dimwitted grouppies, was insufferable in his conviction that what had been total luck was sublime talent.
His later Star Wars movies were like a man who won the jack pot once trying to prove he he won a game of pure chance by skill, by playing the lottery again and again, while wearing ever more garish "lucky jacket". Now JJ Abrams and Disney is trying to put cheap tin foil packages on these jackets and make a buck selling them.

As far as J.J. Abrams goes, I've only seen Star Trek, and not being a trekkie nor concerned about the source material, I enjoyed it.
I really don't care who is slated to direct it. I will judge it just as any other movie, by the appearance of its entertainment value. Seeing how the last installments of the franchise were utter shit, however, the previews and the buzz surrounding it are really going to have to amaze me to get me to drop money on it.

My only real concern is all this seemingly obsessive drive to keep churning out Star Wars sequels. We've watched the Rebels overcome the forces of the Empire; we've snored as Darth Vader grew from a whiny prepubescent to a whiny emo teen. The dust has settled from the last Death Star over what's left of the surface of Endor, the story has been told, good has overcome evil. Why not let sleeping Emperors lie?

A combination of potential profit and the lack of artistic integrity.

All sadly true of course. I'm only surprised we've not had Casablanca Episode 27: Rick's In Space yet.

Time for a re-make with Justin Bieber as Luke, Lindsay Lohan as the princess, and Dick Cheney as Darth Veder. If it succeeds they can get Chris Christie to play Jabba the Hut when they remake that one. |
