re: Star War New Trilogy Official Thread
I loved all the Star Wars films. Phantom Menace had Darth Maul, come on now!

But if I am not a Starwars fan based on the original three movies then I why should I keep watching the recent ones? Also I think your being pretentious by trying to force the idea on people that if they don't see every Star Wars film they are somehow missing out in life. You think Star Wars are the holy grail of filmmaking, personally they don't do much for me. Many hardcore Star Wars fans don't even like the recent films, that speaks volumes for me.
You said you watched Episode 1 and haven't seen 2 or 3 based on hearing they are also shit. Has nothing to do with the original three movies - you've made an asinine assumption which makes you look pretty pathetic when passing down judgement for the saga. It'd be like not watching Terminator 2 because the first one was 'shit.' Get a clue son.

Just off the phone with my fave director & he's buzzing about this Star Wars thing, saying it's his dream gig. I told him to go for it.
When it was announced that Disney bought Lucasfilm and the studio was going to make more Star Wars movies, the question of 'What will George do?' rang out and was quickly answered with 'he's just a consultant'. Lucas spoke with Access Hollywood about what his being a 'consultant' entails.
“[If the filmmakers ask],‘Who’s this guy?’ I can tell them,†he said. “I mean, they have a hundred encyclopedias and things, but I actually know a lot. I can say, ‘This is this and this is that.' Basically I’m not — I don’t really have much to do.â€
Lucasfilm also posted the fourth part of Kathleen Kennedy and Lucas's conversation about Star Wars which you can check out below. In this segment, they explore what makes the appeal of Star Wars universal.
Disney is said to be planning on taking the 'Marvel' approach to Star Wars and releasing a new film every 2-3 years with some that focus on different aspects of the Universe. Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled to hit theaters in 2015.
Recently it's been all about what directors do and don't want to get in on the Star Wars game, but now it has shifted to actors. Samuel L. Jackson, who portrayed Jedi Master Mace Windu in the prequel trilogy, has a lot of interest in coming back for the new sequel.
"I'm not surprised but totally geeked by the idea of there being more Star Wars," Jackson told E! News. "It's like, okay, Obi-Wan was dead when episode four started, so maybe everyone thinks I'm dead and we'll find out what happened to Mace Windu. I can come back as one-armed or a one-handed Jedi that's still around that didn't actually die."
"I could do that or be a ghost hologram. I don't care, I just want to stay associated with the franchise."
But what is it about the franchise that makes Jackson want to return so badly?
"I just always loved it. I always loved the idea of it, that there's this whole civilization out there somewhere else that's just as much fun and different and diverse and wild as we are."
How old is Jackson? I think he'd be fine in a hologram role honestly. No actual action unless he got super fit. I'd be very happy to see him come back. Especially considering Mace Windu was one of my favourite characters.
