they should just quit while they're ahead.

Or behind, as it were, considering the craptacular prequels...

I never consider those.

God forbid my kids ever want to watch The Phantom Menace - but on the rare occasion they actually ask to see it, I can only watch Episode1.1, The Phantom Edit - which has 75% less Jar Jar (which is still 25% too much) and has all the boring senate stuff trimmed out. I have no such edit for Episode 2, so my kids are SOL, because I won't watch that shitty movie.

This coming from the biggest Star Wars geek in the North Star State.

I cringe at the thought of Disney being involved. And I don't really understand why Abrams is the go-to person for all things science fiction these days. If they can't find a way to bring the Irvin Kershner (Empire director) magic and mystique to these new films, they should just quit while they're ahead.

They do have the screenwriter of The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Return of the Jedi.

I thought Lost was very silly but Abrahams did a decent job with Star Trek and he is a Star Wars fanboy(unlike me).

I can only suppose they are saving the bad-assed awesomeness of Billy-Dee Williams for Episode 8?

I wonder about Harrison ford's inclusion ... He used to be cool and groovy as Han now he is just a grumpy old twat.
They could totally spoil the Han solo character which would be a shame .

I'm probably least worried about Harrison Ford. He's at least worked all this time. Yeah, Hamill does his voice work, and Fisher writes and goes to rehab...

[Seshmeister]

He came across as a grumpy old twat for years but recently he's been quite funny in a super dry way sending himself up.

I know but as cool sayings go , I've got a bad feeling about this to be replaced by fuck off ya pesky kids

Harrison Ford and Dick Cheney live in the same subdivision Maybe Harrison hung around The Dick too much and that grumpy old man thing rubbed off. See this is why I hate modern medicine. It keeps assholes who would naturally have died alive too long.

I was wondering too if Lando Calrissian would make a comeback sometime.
