Wow. I'm amazed people still think Lucas has the first clue what's going on with the SW franchise. The Phantom Menace quite comprehensively destroyed the notion that he knows what he's doing.
Apart from making lots of money...
Money does not relate directly to quality.

By including Ford, Fisher and Hamill (et al) it's obviously the continuation as Lucas always intended.

It was obvious he had no idea on the overall arc from way earlier than that. Around 1976 to be precise. At that point Lucas didn't even have the idea that Luke and Leia were related. He just made it up as he went along.
This,

[excuse me whilst I get my inner geek on.]

Lucas likes to portray Star Wars as some great 9 film epic that he wrote in the early 70's - a massively complex collection of interconnecting stories revolving around the Skywalker Family that only he knows.

He'd like us to Believe that before they started filming Star wars in '76 he already knew that Luke's Dad would be win a Pod race 50 years earlier, but it's all bullst, he made a film, one film which has a massive sprawling messy story - so when they filmed it, they cut out or didn't film the backstories for lots of the characters which is probably it's greatest attribute, even though it's a relatively simple story - it leaves huge amounts to the imagination and makes it feel more epic.

Truth is it's riddled with holes if you look to closely - hell it wasn't even known as Star Wars IV - a new hope until 4 years after it came out.

That's just a trailer. The logo looked like the logo we know now by the time the film came out.

Andy Serakis, great actor. But I hope he isn't just used as yet another CGI tool like he gets used in Hollywood films.
CGI is not realistic, it is st, and I don't want another JJ Binks.

They wouldn't have had a full size Falcon made up if they were just going to CGI everything.

It will have a st load of LENSE FLARE though

Christ they were awful...some of the things on the good list were awful. No quality control whatsoever.


The sadder thing is that I actually remember reading that bank comic story as a kid, it was in an annual I had. I liked those stories back then! Wish I still had it. I also saw the Ewok films at the cinema and loved them! I was a member of the Star Wars fan club back then. biggrin
