It’s an epic without a dream. But it’s probably the absence of wonder that accounts for the film’s special, huge success. The excitement of those who call it the film of the year goes way past nostalgia to the feeling that now is the time to return to childhood.
why are you still posting in this thread?
Sorry to ruin the positivity party. Carry on.

Hopefully sooner. Hopefully they're use the "What if Episode __ was good?" videos.

Also, I think we caught most of this stuff, but here you go.

I'd be happy with a reboot of the prequels, they couldn't do any worse. As long as they don't touch the OT.

Don't forget there's a 30 year gap between Eps VI and VII. I have a feeling we'll receive a trilogy or at least a movie to fill in the gap.

I don't even know what the hell that's going to be, it's both a sequel and a prequel, is there a name for that?

I know, it's a cash grab.

How many reboots have actually been well received and successful? I'm not talking about something like Star Trek or Spider-Man which were relaunches of different stories with the same character. I mean repeating the same story

I'm not sure. Hulk? Superman? Were they more successful?

I'm fairly sure Disney could make the prequels entertaining, if anything. That would be an improvement.

You know, if they just redubbed a the dialogue 75% of the issues would be fixed.
