But to be completely honest, I think a good actor can sell any line. A New Hope had really incredible actors with a mediocre script, and boy they sold those lines. "But I was heading into Toshi station to pick up some power converters!" Few actors today could sell that line (or anything Obi-Wan says) without a good director. Not exactly. The screenwriting is horrible too, it's just Lucas also controls how the actors say stuff as well. So you end up with a shitty script and bad acting due to them needing to do it how Lucas wanted. You never got any creative things like Han Solo saying "I know" back to Leia in the prequals, because Lucas would never have allowed people to go against his shitty script. I actually like the prequals visually when it comes to the fight scenes. I'm pretty easily entertained by fight scenes if they're decently done. I like eye candy.  That's the main reason I like the prequals lol.But the script is an entirely different matter altogether and was poorly done. | ||

Lucas never controlled the actors, as most fans know his only advice was "faster, more intense." So blaming any acting on poor actor direction (in that he was telling them how to perform) is a falsehood. | ||

So blaming any acting on poor actor direction (in that he was telling them how to perform) is a falsehood. Uh where did you get your information from? It's a well known fact that Lucas dictated every single thing with the prequels. Not only that but all the actors had to work with bluescreens. Do you have any idea how difficult that would be? Not only that but George told them what to do, how they should feel. They had no room for their own acting talent. Haiden Christensen is a decent actor but he was god awful in the prequels because of it. It almost ruined his career. I suggest you watch behind the scenes videos so you can see Lucas TELLING the actors what to do and how to feel. Sometimes they had such a dumbfounded look on their face like "This guy can't be serious...". | ||

A director giving context is one thing, what you're suggesting is something else. | ||

Because if it's after the return of the jedi i'm really curious about the story, I mean, the empire is totally defeated lol. And Luke is supposed to be last jedi. What will the story be about ? O_O Yes this should be after the old movies, these new movies will be the most current in the timeline. I'd guess it would have to be about Luke rebuilding the Republic and finding more jedi's and the sith returning. | ||

O_O Actually the empire isn't totally defeated. It winds up taking years still to retake coruscant, and the imperial remnant is never actually wiped out. A cease-fire is declared around 15 years after the battle of Endor, and it is then that the Empire concedes defeat, although it isn't assimilated or destroyed as a political entity. It isn't even forcibly disarmed, and it's a good thing too, since the Empire saves the New Republic's ass a few times during the Yuuzhan Vong war (I suppose it's the Galactic Alliance around this time) and later on too. There are tons of stories after Endor where the empire nearly completely crushes the New Republic and is barely thrown back. | ||

I read some of those books, and I somewhat enjoyed them, but I hope they don't bring that race into the new movie. Maybe they'll do it well, but it seems risky to me. Of course, they'll have to do something different. A movie where they're licking their wounds and rebuilding the fleet isn't that exciting. | ||

It is a trilogy they have 3 movies to tell a complete story and take it to the end. First movie could be the rebuilding and introduction of the new (or old) bad guys. | ||

From the Episode VII FAQ on IMDB (not sure where they got this info from though): Will this follow the plot of the books by Timothy Zahn? No, as Episode VII will be an original story not based on the events of any of the EU continuity | ||

The yuuzhan vong and imperial remnant/return of the empire plot series are amazing, and the yuuzhan vong in particular could use some exploration anyway. | ||

Not to mention that they are considered canon. They could end up with a lot of angry fans though I guess the new movies could happen long after Episode VI, after the Thawn trilogy etc, which would also makes more sense for old Han Solo, Luke and Leia | ||
