True. Maybe I'd respect the shit out of it.

There is a unique kind of enjoyment that comes from witnessing a train wreck, yeah. I think I laugh harder, in any theater experience, at a really stupid line or a terrible attempt to make a character look cool than I do at any of the scripted jokes. But that's just me.

They'll have to be careful with that. Lucas tried that with JarJar...
I don't mean kiddie characters. I imagine Disney thinks The target audience is made up mostly of children who've only seen the prequels. And loser fat nerds, but they already have their money.
I don't know. Disney is run by some very smart people. They know who their audience is and what they're marketing to.

However, the toy market is definitely going to be made up of children and loser fat nerds, which may be why they bought the property in the first place

Disney owns Indiana Jones too apparently?

Ford gives Disney, Han Solo.

...Disney give Ford his final Indy movie.

Those are the rumoured contract agreements.

The new Star Wars Episode VII movie is expected to be called The Ancient Fear.

I'll take it.

Fear of what, exactly?

Oh, I guess considering the age of some of the cast, the fear of sharting?

Saw this elsewhere


Think i mentioned it before on this thread but worth repeating – for a blu-ray quality original trilogy, have a look online for the 'Despecialised Edition'. Someone cut it together from the best sources available. Really good professional quality job.

SO much nicer than the Special Editions.

Sharting can happen to anyone, especially after eating Chipotle on a hot steamy day.
