Didn't know that it was posted already. My bad.

That's what I call my boner.
Disney will **** this shit up so bad. It will be terrible and we will be begging for George to come back and finish the trilogy
George was one of the worst writers, ever. Disney has hit HOME RUNS with their Marvel movies,and the guy directing this was absolutely brilliant i the last couple of Star Trek's. I see no reason to think that this movie will be a failure. If anything, the movies will be MUCH MUCH better now that Lucus isn't involved.

I thought Lucas made some strides and the new films progressed nicely in the original trilogy and they got progressively better after TPM. Other than Hayden Christianson's wooden acting, I thought AOTC & ROTS were very good.
ESB is still my favorite.

Lucas is a great visionary and writer, just kind of a bad director. Aside from the original Star Wars, he had help on his screenplays from Lawrence Kasdan and others on the other films. The biggest knock on George Lucas was never his writing, but his lack of direction to his actors. Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness, Ian McDiarmid (the Emperor), and Ewan McGregor overcame this the best in my opinion. He admits that he was always more of a visual director and thought of his movies as silent films with musical scores and that the visuals told the story. The special effects combined with John Williams score still make for some of the most memorable scenes across all 6 movies, and the great featurette Star Wars: A Musical Journey is a testament to that:
The prequels get a lot of crap, but I love the story they try to tell even though they stumble at times. I think Episodes III through V are my favorites. I, II, and VI are a mixed bag to me but still very good. Return of the Jedi is a tough one for me because its clouded by my childhood memories of it being my favorite while the adult in me can't stand all the Ewok stuff now.
I'm old, so the original releases were my favorites. I never really got into the more recent ones, but may have to revisit them with this coming out.

Its nice to hear older fans acknowledge that the OT had its own faults. Most fans who grew up with the originals treat them like some sacred cow that no one can criticize. The worst is all the criticism they lob at the prequels that was pretty much the same issues the OT had (acting, too cutesy at times, etc.). My favorites in order change all the time but right now I think its:
1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Revenge of the Sith
3. A New Hope
4. Attack of the Clones
5. Return of the Jedi
6. The Phantom Menace
Even the Phantom Menace is better than 90% of the sic-fi fantasy movies out there. It has grown on me in recent years because my son loves it so much and that final dual with Darth Maul was still one of my favorite experiences in a theater.
Numerous complaints mainly with ROTJ. Leia and Luke was just George trying to outdo himself. I never liked that either.
ESB
ROTS
AOTC
ANH
TPM
ROTJ
TPM gets a slight bump over ROTJ due to an epic battle and an intriguing villain. IMO Maul should have survived and made it to Dooku. Liam did an incredible job as Qui-Gon who should have carried on too.
ANH, looks archaic compared to ESB. while it started something incredible, it has been succeeded with better films, which is a good thing. I thought Ewan McGregor did a fabulous job of flashing a younger Obiwan and as kids we always wondered how it would play out.
