So I may catch a little flack for my opinions here, so be warned.
Recently Disney purchased the Star Wars franchise from George Lucas, something that they have honestly been wanting to do for a very long time now it seems. I mean, they have a star wars themed weekend once a year at Disney land for the gods sake.
I hear a lot of anger at this issue as Disney could only want to make more Star Wars related stuff, that would mean more movies obviously, and that.... well that means episodes 7,8, and 9. To be completely honest here, as a Star Wars Fanatic, I want to be completely okay with it. On one hand, it is Disney and they have screwed up a lot of stuff. (they produced at least 2 and a half good Pirates of the Caribbean movies didn't they?)
I should also point out that the books the franchise is based on do stretch out to the third trilogy, the original story does exist, so they are not just making up something as they go along, as for the revival possibly of Darth Vader... I'm not sure if there is any merit to that, but I will say if they do that then it will be kinda silly.
I've never watched Star Wars, but I can see the cause for concern. I think because people have been voicing their opinions about this, Disney will definitely be careful when they make a re-make of the movies. After all, their target audience will include people who liked the original versions and they wouldn't want to make them angry.
ReplyDeleteOf course they shouldn't revive Darth Vader, but in retrospect, there are people out there that believe he is the main part to the whole series and will only watch it with Vader. Personally, I would love to see what becomes of Luke and Leia, but I'd still want it to focus on the Republic, not get into their sappy life's tale. Disney has a lot of thinking to do, let's hope they make the right choice.
