And even in the case of dragonball evolution some hardcore fans did watch it (which is unfathomable to me). | ||

I saw super 8, though I'm not familiar with which episodes of Alias he wrote. I'll definitely give them a chance. | ||

I am sure that it will be a great movie, considering the big ass budget it probably has - they will find good actors and a good director. I am not worried at all. | ||

Hayden Christensen.... Casting is a function of the director, so if you trust him, then it shouldn't be a concern. Hell, the casting in ST2009 was one of the least objectionable directing decisions Abrams made, so I don't have any real concerns in that department. Also, the director always has some say in the script. Even just in terms of cutting scenes. And while I agree that we should be glad that Bay didn't get his hands on it, that doesn't mean that we should praise Abrams for not sucking that badly. | ||

Although I don't see everyone's problems with Ewoks, they're just a combined version of the personalities of C-3PO and R2 and live in the woods. Nobody seems to have a problem with the Jawas or the little rat-thing that lives next to Jabba's asshole. | ||

Nobody seems to have a problem with the Jawas or the little rat-thing that lives next to Jabba's asshole. Their problem wasn't the existence of ewoks or that they were there as background characters like the Kowakian Monkey Lizard (Yes that's what those rat things are called) or the Jawas who were there for just a few scenes, but that the ewoks played a very important role and did some absurdly silly things. I mean, big teddy bears crush supposedly terrifying Imperial Legion? Really? What the fuck are they wearing that armor for if it won't even stop an arrow T_T. If the ewoks had just shown up, helped Leia out and then the movie moved on from there and they were done, people wouldn't complain about them. The Ewoks are what brought episode 6 down from a potentially fantastic film into merely a pretty good one. There was a lot else the film had going for it. Episode 5 is pretty clearly the best of the six films, and Episode 4 is pretty clearly second best. Episodes 1 and 2 were mind numbingly awful for so many reasons it's hard to list them all. Episode 3 was nearly as good as Episode 6. I had a lot of plot issues with it, but it had some nice things going for it so it's not THAT terrible. | ||

Delusional? No need for that; he merely has an extremely low maximum enjoyment threshold. Even among people who like the prequels, there's nobody who likes them all equally. The only way that can happen is if you don't recognize that some good things can be better than other good things, that your ratings scale runs out at 5 out of 10. | ||

Anyways I honestly believe Abrams will do a better job with it than Lucas has been capable of for years. At worst it will be equal to 3. It will not be nearly as bad as 1 and will probably be better than 2 as well. I don't get the pessimism because we've already seen the worst in 1 and it's over. It could only get better from now on imo, and that's not optimism, that's just knowing Abrams isn't a genius but he's good enough not to be that bad. | ||

I hope 7 is based off the already existing EU and not something completely new. It would also be cool to see movies based on the EU from the KotOR time period and Darth Revan sometime down the line. | ||
