If they're ever going to get Star Was back on its feet again, they need to bury the last three movies deeper than The Song of the South, and hit it out of the park with the next movie.
Maybe Favreau can do it, maybe Peter Jackson could, maybe Ron Howard could do it if he had full control from the beginning instead of coming in at the last minute to try to save a train wreck. I long for the days when I thought the Ewoks were the stupidest thing I'd ever see in a Star Wars movie.
Opie? Yea he totally fucked up one of the most beloved, scruffy-looking, nerf herder, in the damn Star Wars universe. He even made Tallahassee look weak in his role as an outlaw.
Leave Opie doing movies like Terms of Endearment. Might as well have put Rob Reiner in charge! Hell I would take the Titanic guy over Opie.
Out of all 9 movies, only 1 ever got nominated a bunch of times for an academy award. Empire. Yet lucas had to meddle like the CCP, screwing up the acting in those prequels.
Their only hope. (Score:4, Insightful)
