Who thinks the new Star Wars trilogy will suck?

I do. Despite having J.J. Abrams lead off the 3rd installment, this won't be good for the franchise. And here is why, there simply is no story after Episode VI. The franchise is based around the life of Anaken Skywalker. Anaken dies, end of story. No one cares what Luke and the others do because they aren't the story. Disney's greed has ruined something else that was fine just the way it was.

The EU appeals to thousands and thousands of fans. I'm gonna say they'll be interested in seeing what comes next. I'll have cautious optimism.

Really it can't get worse than the prequels. They may not be as good as the originals, but I doubt they'll blow chunks.

Of course it will suck.
Although I have no basis for saying this being that I've seen the first trilogy only partly and episode 1 remains the only movie I've ever walked out of.

I would have rather seen them do a movie/series of movies set around the time of Knights of the Old Republic, but I doubt many share that opinion.

Look, Texas Chainsaw Massacre part whatever is out in the theaters right now. The amount of steaming garbage that Hollywood puts out on a weekly basis is staggering. I am happy to look forward to and go see the next Star Wars movie. I will look forward to it and read about it and wonder what it is about until it comes out. Then, I will pay 10 bucks to go see it. I will sit through the whole thing and will buy popcorn and a drink.
I'm not doing that for Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 23.
So, it already doesn't suck.
Beyond that, it is just a movie and I will walk out with nothing really unchanged in my life except that I paid 20 bucks in total to be entertained. And, that will be good enough.
Lucas isn't directing. I am happy already.

No. Lucas tarnished it with the prequels and wisely saved it by putting it in better hands. I'm uber excited for the new trilogy. You internet nerds are ridiculous sometimes.

Why does it have to maintain this story line at all? It could jump ahead to a new conflict with new characters for a new generation of viewers.

And yet games like KOTOR/2 are heralded as having some of the best storylines in video games.

Was never a huge star wars fan. Saw clones and sith out of curiosity and was underwhelmed by both, but was mildly entertained by the first 3.......or last 3.....the ones before the prequels.

To be perfectly honest, no Star Wars movies is actually that great. In fact, I would go so far as to say 1-3 were bad, and 4-6 were mediocre. The best part of Star Wars is the special effects and the fact that it was so wildly different from anything produced before. In the 80s, films like Star Wars were simply never seen and, as a result, going to see a Star Wars was an event like going on a roller coaster ride rather than an event like going to see The Godfather.
Rewatch the movies and you'll see what I'm talking about. Great stories overall, there is no doubt, but they are not executed terribly well, are often hokey, and can meander quite a bit. And that's true of all of them.
People put the first trilogy on a pedestal basically out of nostalgia and reverence for what the films were able to accomplish in the 80s, not because they are 3 of the best films ever made. In fact, I would say the LOTR films are better than the first trilogy, though I think Eps 4-6 are more enjoyable to watch.
So... will the new trilogy suck? Probably. And with JJ Abrams involved, there will likely be some type of time travel involved that makes no sense.

quote:Outside of Thrawn, I agree with this. I think there are many movies that can be made within the Star Wars universe that can take place between episodes 1 - 6 and still be awesome.
. And here is why, there simply is no story after Episode VI.
To sum up, I don't mind seeing more Star Wars movies, I don't expect them to be anything like Ep 4 - 6, and I don't give 2 shits about seeing episodes 7 - 9.

We'll know it's bad when we see Sam l jackson confirmed as a cast member.
