He should alter the movies and add some new cgi.

That would actually really help. I'm pretty sure we have the technology to do stuff like that now.


Just remaking the movies would probably just be a better option though. Get some more well known actors in there this time instead of a bunch of nobodies.

^ 1000x this

Taken as regular movies the prequels were extraordinarily good. However, compared to the original movies I think it's true the first one does fall a little flat, and Jar Jar is annoying, which we all agree on. Still though, episode II and especially III were spectacular. And come on, if any movie ever was just BEGGING for a prequel, it was the original Star Wars.

As for an Episode VII? Totally unnecessary. I also thought the OP was a joke and was expecting a rickroll or something not credible. Look, I'm OK with Lucas making an Episode VII just as long as he promises he won't butt the series like he did with Indiana Jones IV. That movie was just painful, which is really sad because it could have been quite good.

Remakes would be a great idea because the originals are so old. Michael Cera as luke would perfect.

His hairstyle is just as awful as Mark Hamill's was in those movies.

Final answer?

I'd rather see Episode 4,5,6 redone the same as the clone wars toon. Remaking them with regular live actors would absolutely suck. Kristen Stewart as Leia? Robert Pattinson as Han? The way hollywood works today would make these into tweener movies with the "hot" actors of today playing these iconic roles. No Thank You!!!

I heard that the movies were so bad because they spent most of their time and money working on that hairstyle. Tyler Perry as lando

Did someone say Michael Cera?

Might as well have them do a Pixar Star Wars too. I'd bet they could pull of a pretty cool SW flick.

How about the original unaltered trilogy on Blu-Ray first and foremost before anything else.

It's still my favorite Star Wars story, but I don't think it would work on film. If they start their own trilogy, the sky's the limit.

Only good can come out of this. At least George is done shitting on Star Wars now.

I am also hoping for a remastered original trilogy on blu ray, I'm pretty sure that's coming. George was hard-headed, Disney wants to make money.

This. Everyone crapped their pants when Disney bought Marvel, then Avengers quickly shut everyones traps. The way Lucas has been for the last... 2 decades, I'm thinking only good can come from this.

Agreed on the first. Lots of painful moments, especially in the first two, but not as bad as many make them out to be. Same with Indy 4 IMO.

Disagree on the 2nd. The extended universe (novels etc.) have some great Star Wars stories. I doubt they'll use any of those, but those show it's not hard to write good, compelling stories in that universe.

Lots of options with Jedi, return of the Sith (any Jedi can turn to the dark side), invasions from beyond the galaxy etc. Not to mention ability to go back and make old republic movies after episodes 7-9 are done.

Only good can come of this.
And yes, the Prequels were that bad. The last 30 years have completely proven one fact to me: Anyone can make a good Star Wars story EXCEPT for Lucas.

The first prequel was mind-blowing dull. I didn't even bother to see the next two, because it was so horrible. Sorry, but there was no exaggeration on how bad at least the first prequel was. IMHO.

I'll be curious to see what Disney comes up with, and maybe taking it out of the hands of Lucas will help. After all the best original movie was the one that he had the least to do with: Empire.

Nothing but eye-candy. For anyone who loves the Star Wars Universe though, a complete disappointment. Turning one of the greatest bad guys, Darth Vader, into a whiny baby is something I will never get past.

Totally agree. The prequels weren't great but not as horrible as all the internet nerds make them out to be. The potential for awesome Star Wars stories is basically endless. Disney has done an amazing job with Marvel so I have high hopes they will be careful with Star Wars and not crap all over it. Just think, in 20 years there might only be 3 iffy movies out of 15+ movies overall!
