Disney Acquires Lucas properties

I feel like the nerd level on this news is too high not to discuss in some form of topic here.

People are nerd raging all over the place, which I don't entirely understand. Lucas already fucked up the majority of what people cherished, so in new hands it can only get better.
He already disgraced the classics, and then proved he had no place directing in the most recent trilogy.

Imagine the Directors they could get, the stories that are ripe for the picking, the writers, and hopefully much better actors.
People with some unbiased perspective on just what they're handling.

Yeah i don't get how this is in any way upsetting. George Lucas is an incompetent writer and director who has already driven the franchise in to the ground. At this point even a completely mediocre film would be a such a big step up that it'd seem amazing by comparison :P

I have no doubt that Disney can handle it better than bloody George Lucas.

I agree with this 100%

I'm really glad is out of Lucas hand now. George Lucas the only thing he has been doing lately is destroying the franchise. Also, Disney has had some good movies lately and they definitely can get the talent to properly handle Start War series. Hopefully a lot of good stuff will come out of this.

And let's not even begin about the Indiana Jones movies...
To me it's still a trilogy, I know nothing about a 4th one.

So the first Starwars Episodes and the INdiana jones Trilogy are incompentent scripts and stories?

This is a good move by Disney, and excellent news for me as far as Im concerned.

Lucas is a hack nowadays.

I assume he means the more recent films he's made.
Also the most superior films Lucas was involved with in the past, were due to the fact that he was either getting help with the writing or most of all, someone else was directing. Which is why Empire and Jedi are both superior to the original. Why Indiana Jones is a classic trilogy because it was back when Spielberg was an absolute monster.

He sucks at directing that's for sure even though I think ANH was amazing directed.

Oh BTW, I understand the nerd rage, as I feel a bit myself. We've gotten 3 good movies and a few good games out of the franchise. You've either got to be an apologist or really dig to find something good. The prospect of more movies doesn't excite me unless everyone involved has been associated with something amazing. Letting some B-rate director/writer combo is just going to help me avoid this all the easier.

No i seriously think George Lucas is rather incompetent as both a writer and director. The first three star wars movies are good, but i think that's because he didn't have absolute creative authority over them. Since the original trilogy most of the stuff written, produced and directed by George has been shit. Ep 1, 2 and 3 are terrible in terms of direction and writing.

The indiaina jones trilogy is another great show of this. Spielberg directs, someone else writes the screen play and George does the story. Works out great, because his dirty little fingers aren't anywhere near the actual film making process :P

Yeah, I agree completely. I just don't really feel like there needs to be any more. Will I still be there to see them? Most likely if it doesn't look absolutely disastrously atrocious. But if I see one Gungan, I'm gone.

Well, I always wanted to see Luke turn to the dark side. Disney must have felt compelled to fulfill my wish!

Oh, and saw an article on who should play Luke, Leah, Han, etc. How about this for Luke: Christian Hayden--he looks like similar to Luke's father!

They should totally make a movie that takes place in the KotOR era of the SW universe. That'd be boss if they did it well :)

Also if Hayden Christensen is anywhere near a new star wars film i will spend the rest of my life trying to kill the entire company by psychic force.

Hayden is a good actor, watch Shattered Glass and you will know what Im talking about, it was just the stupid shit he had to work with in the starwars movies that made him seem incredible imcompetent.

I watched the Original Trilogy yesterday and it amazes me how superior all of them are to the new one, only Revenge of The Sith showed pieces of greatness in some parts only by being let down by some incredible stupid dialog, still is my favorite.

Lawrence Kasdan and some other wirtter were great in writting ESB, I still think ANH writting is good even if that was the only thing Lucas made right.

Yeah everyone acted horrible in those movies, even Portman and McGregor

It was basically the human centipede and everyone just ate Lucas's shit

Christensen probably was the unlucky one to be the primary focus of the films so he was extra awful.

His dialogue was atrocious, and that's not his fault. But I've seen him in other things, and I would not consider him to be very good.

Agreed. He's not Star Wars bad, but he's not good either. Hence the non existing career really
