Now, I'll admit that the the thought of a new Star Wars movie makes my inner geek excitedly squirm like a kid who has to pee. However, I'm not without reservations about it.
I think the majority of the world will agree that the prequel trilogy of Episodes I, II & III did not necessarily live up to the world's standards, so I doubt anyone is too concerned that George Lucas will only act as a consultant for the new sequels.
These two may go down in history as the the worst things to happen to Star Wars (Fun side note, check out THIS ARTICLE to find out what happened to that poor kid, Jake Lloyd, after his turn as Anakin).
And Disney certainly has the money and the production power to take on a series of this magnitude. But we all must not forget that Disney has not had great success with their recent ventures into Science Fiction (**cough** John Carter **cough**) and sequels are not necessarily their strong suit either.
Seriously, did anybody care about any of these? Except maybe Return of Jaffar.
But I digress. Now owning both Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm, Disney is turning into quite the nerd super power. All we can do now is hope and pray that Disney won't screw up this beloved series even further.
What is your opinion? Disney Star Wars: Good or Bad?
