I'm more disappointed that they are making episode 7 at all. I mean come on?! Firstly, that's bound to make a lot of canonical extended universe stuff non-canonical, but that is just a minor thing compared to the fact that full resolution was already achieved across the six movies. This will feel like nothing more than a commercialised tack-on... which it is.

I declare any new movies to be non-canon. Headcanon is the best canon.

Not the case. When Star Wars was first pitched, Lucas had three trilogies in mind: first, the fall of the republic; the second, the empire; and the third, the return of the republic. That Lucas denied there was a third trilogy in later years baffled me. However, as you say, all the fiction that's been written since makes the third trilogy an adventure with good prospects to fail - at least amongst the fan base.

When Lucas first pitched the first movie it was Anakin who rescued the Princess from the Empire and later fell to the darkside - in a second draft "Luke Skywalker" was a meshing of what would become Obi-Wan and the Luke we know.

By the time he'd got to the point where ANH had an actual plot there were three films and a backstory. That backstory barely changed between 1976 and 1999, except that Palpatine is referred to as "President" of the Republic in the original Star Wars novel.

The "nine movies" story is, afaik a later invention that Lucas was toying with.

As a unit the current two trilogies barely make dramatic sense - he end of Episode V is robbed of all it's pathos if you watch I-III first.

The idea of Episode VII raises a more fundamental issue, what would be the point? Other than to give Mark Hamil some pocket money.

Hey, Lucas pretty much did that already. As far as I am concerned, there's no way to make Star Wars crappier than it is right now. Lucas not only made horrible prequels that taint the entire series, he actively screwed up large chunks of the originals as well. At least Disney has the sense to preserve their old works in their original forms. And say what you want about their marketing, Disney has produced a huge number of very high quality films and continue to do so to this day.

Exactly. The first film was tempered by Steven Spielberg, who suggested the opening sequence, much of the narrative and R2-D2 and C3-PO instead of Lucas' preferred Jar-Jar Binks style aliens. Lucas didn't have free reign on the first three, and his ideas were altered and adjusted by his directors, crew and cast. The second set was all unabated Lucas, and we know how that went!

Um - he's a film actor who does voice work, his most recent TV gig was as Pamela Anderson's Uncle on VIP.

In any case - he's not well paid, and despite being a fairly good actor he can't break out of being Luke.

Lucas is a mixed bag, without him there wouldn't have been a star wars at all, on the other hand he seems to think that star wars having a large child fan base means that star wars should be less mature than it deserves to be. Personally I'm hopeful, considering Disney's take over of Pixar has gone pretty well and the clone wars series has had some really good episodes proving to me that star wars can still be made well.
Also I kinda liked the prequels, Yeah I said it!

I completely understand Hamil's success as a voice actor. I'm very aware of it and I would also say he's had a successful career because of it. Certainly far better than many of his other co-stars, like Carrie and Billy Dee. However, I really don't think it's debatable that Harrison Ford has had a more successful career overall. Six of his films are in the IMDb Top 250 (three if you exclude Star Wars). While Ford is not remotely a 'great' actor, he was bankable for a long, long time. The guy was top of the A-list for 20 years. While Hamil has had a great voice acting career for about that amount of time, I don't think a voice acting career can be compared to a Hollywood lead actor career. I guarantee you that Ford's payments for appearing in his list of forgettable films over the past 10 years have far surpassed Hamil's despite the fact that the former was in decline in and the latter has just been getting better.

By your analysis we should also say that Hamil is better than Pacino and DeNiro, because Hamil is still a going concern while Pacino and DeNiro have forgotten how to do anything other than cash a check. That misses the point about what constitutes a career.

Unlikely, given that story treatments for 7, 8, 9 exist in some form. Lucas is fairly ambivalent toward the EU, if he even considers it at all. But he won't even give one though to how does this effect the EU when throwing out new story ideas. And has been engaged in negating huge swaths of it for the past 5 years with the Clone Wars TV series.

While the comic/graphic novel/extended universe stuff may appeal to the fanboys and nerds, movie producers will obviously try to go for a wider appeal or strike a balance... Even episodes I/II/II were criticised for being too political and full of references to stuff which no one but real fans would know or care about. When I first saw ep. I at the cinema, I could find no connection at all in terms of the overall atmosphere, look and feel to the that of the first three films. The whole thing came across as a horribly sterile and self indulgent marketing promo for the kids toys it was obviously designed to sell. This, obviously combined with the poor screenplay, sub par acting and over dependence on video gamey looking CGI, was what made ep. I and it's sequels poor movies.

I remember the character of Thrawn from the classic TIE fighter game and though the fictional history surrounding him may work well in this form, or indeed the extended universe fan fiction it was based on, it may not translate so well to Hollywood or appeal to movie goers.

For star wars to be a success again, they need to go back to basics - back to 1977 in fact. The first film actually had a decent plot (based on Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress) it was a sci-fi action/adventure film in it's own right, with all the right ingredients. Since then we've seen "star wars based" films of which empire was probably the best effort. By the third film it all went "ewok" and felt like the first film was simply being remade with "bigger death star, better effects, more monsters", I realised I was watching a film made by the same man who would bring us the "temple of doom" a year later... as with the latter - a fun film, but...

I think it entirely depends on the people that Disney hires to actually make the films, and the level of creative control they are given. You need look no further than Nolan's Batman or Abrams' Star Trek to see that worn and tired IPs can be revived to both critical and commercial success. In both of those cases, it was because the studios hired good directors and gave them enough leeway to remake the subject matter as they saw fit. Star Wars will be more difficult than either of these because they are going to try and continue an existing storyline, rather than do a reboot, but I think the same general issues apply. A Nolan or Whedon Episode VII would have a lot of promise. A Bay Episode VII would not.

With some rare exceptions, the producer doesn't tend to have a major hand in the actual creation of the film. At best, they stay out of it. At worst, they interfere and tweak things against the Director's will. Looking at her production history, there's nothing in there that I recall ever hearing any complaints about production interference with the film. So, I'll cautiously say she's one of the better ones. I'll reserve my judgment as to the actual film until the director and writers are announced.

I think Episode 7 should be about the return of the Republic, episode 8 should be the process of how the new Republic writes its Constitution and episode 9 will end with 2.5 hours of subcommittees debating about amount of control the Constitution allows the government to regulate and tax interplanetary trade between sanctioned Jedi temples.

Producers are certainly in charge of getting the film made, but they don't make the film. Their job is to make sure that the actual people making the film get whatever they need, as well as keeping it within budget and making it profitable. The 'profit' aspect of the job sometimes results in producers stepping into the creative side of the film, but that usually pisses off the director big time and tends to only happen with actors/directors turned producers, such as Spielberg or Scorsese. The vast majority of Hollywood producers simply take care of the business and organizational aspects, and leave the actual filmmaking to the filmmakers.

I prefer the prequels, I never really liked the OT. Even as a little kid they were always dumb old movies. A reality based reason for the force was one of those things I love about them. When I watched that in a theatre I didn't even blink. I went right along with it, still prefer it.

I liked both the original and prequel trilogies. Unfortunately, with the gap between them, the original trilogy was placed on such a high pedestal that the prequels couldn't possibly live up to fan expectations. However, I watch all six and I see Star Wars. Each movie, though Empire less so, has annoying bits in them make me wish it wasn't there (Jar-Jar, Ewoks, midi-chlorians, Kessel run/parsecs, etc), but not so much that it ruined the movie experience for me.

As for Disney, yes, they may do well with the movies, but they can be so overbearing and in-your-face with their brand. Just a mere days after signing the deal and they have Star Wars written into (at least) one of their shows and have Vader running around Disney Land. Trying to merging them with Disney cartoon characters is just wrong - the Vader character is a mass murderer after all and Leia is no Disney Princess. It is like a little kid jumping up and down showing off his new toy. How about a little respect for the Star Wars brand? Sure, play it up because it is a big deal, but keep it separate from your kiddy stuff.

If Disney now owns the existing Star Wars movies, will they disappear into the "Disney vault" for years like they do with their other classics? If so, I'd better buy the blu-ray versions now even though I don't have a player yet or I may be screwed in a year or two.

Disney does a lot of good things, but they also do a lot that is rather infuriating. A personal story of mine regarding Disney is an illustration of how overbearing they can be. Excuse me for repeating it, I know I've shared this before:

I can only conclude that Natalie Portman's erect nipples on a cinema screen are lars573's only memory of Attack of the Clones.

Incorrect. The battle of Geonosis and any scene with Jango Fett in it are parts I love. But really as a whole I love that movie, followed by Revenge of the Sith. And let's not forget the Clone Wars TV series.

I prefer the prequels, I never really liked the OT. Even as a little kid they were always dumb old movies. A reality based reason for the force was one of those things I love about them. When I watched that in a theatre I didn't even blink. I went right along with it, still prefer it.

So - if Lars has a soul, it has no poetry and no conception od what childhood is meant to be.

i.e. more than just big 'splosions.

You know guys, maybe you should all stop crapping on lars, in the end he just loves Star Wars as much as the rest of us.

And love...love is like sand. Some people don't like sand. It's course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi5jjXTPtyY).

TPM was a cheesy, childish, yet fun romp.
RoTS was a somewhat dim yet really fun epic.
AoTC was village firework show, fun to watch, but the second you wonder why it's fun it stops being engaging.
