Not sure if trolling...
I guess in a way I could agree with you. If the new movies looked like the prequels (the style) instead of the original trilogy then it would look great. Just don't have the writing of the prequels.

I can't really bring myself to care...oh because I hate George.
Lucas said in a statement, "It's now time for me to roll around in a pile of money wearing nothing but a flannel shirt. Feth Star Wars fans I have always hated them and done my level best to piss them off every few years. Nerfherders.

Oh come on. The writing in the originals was so cheesey. The prequel writing style and storyline was so much better, especially The Phantom Menace, easily the best of the films. Plus it brought us the best Star Wars character ever, Jar Jar Binks.

I get the sarcasm but the writing in the originals was actually cheesy, sorry. They make Enid Blyton look like Shakespeare. Not that there was anything wrong with that, they were enjoyable films.

Let me guess...you are under 20 right? Well it is not your fault. If you were born in 1992 and your first date was with Jar Jar, then you can't be blamed for your opinion. It isn't your fault you were not born in 1980 and watched Return of the Jedi on HBO when you were 5.

Yes I am under 20, but fear not. CuddlySquig's Troll Trap was accurate. I was trolling. 
I didn't mind Phantom Menace though. Even Jar Jar wasn't THAT bad. Slightly irritating, but not annoying enough to warrent whole sites dedicated to hating him.

Disney has done a great job with Marvel and helped them out of their slump, coming out with a great series of movies.
This I'm not so confident with. Episode 7 is totally unnecessary. Hell even the prequels were largely unnecessary.

To be honest, Jar Jar was pretty amusing to me when I was 10, when Phantom Menace first came out. Problem is, I'm not 10 anymore. Maybe Disney's acquisition is based on the success of that Clone Wars cartoon show that's going on.

You wouldn't believe how many people are oblivious to that fact. I am reading facebook comments right now, and the majority of the people believe they will make it all Mickey Mouse like. They forget the impressions The Avengers gave them.

Disney can milk a franchise dry, so we might be able to see Star Wars 13 - The Midichlorians, a straight to DVD animated musical.

As long as they release the original trilogy, like it was before George Lucas revisited them I'll be happy other than that I don't give a feth about what Disney does with the franchise.

They can't possibly milk it any worse that what has already happened. Seriously start today and see how many variant Darth Vader action figures you can collect. I bet you spend your salary from next year on them

Well my jaw hit just hit the floor when I read this on another site.
I of course have mixed feelings, but I can't deny that a small grin appeared on my face when I saw Episode VII - 2015.
Please, please, please don't cock it up.
Incidentally, I've just watched Red Tails, the perfect example of what can go wrong and what can go right with a Lucas project. God awful script but awesome dog fighting scenes.

I used to be in an abusive relationship, but then I gave up on Lucas.
Until we get a trailer for Episode VII I doubt I'll be able to muster anything greater than detached amusement at the situation, and even then Star Wars stopped being an opening night event for me some time ago.
