This doesn't make him a good person either. He surrounds himself with yes men, uses his actors as tools, and fires people that challenge his ideas. Thats why the prequels sucked and why his partner Kurtz left after Empire.
How full of s**t does that sound?
Of course he'd come out now and say 7,8,9 are the most exciting (immediately implying 10,11,12, should they ever happen, aren't as great) and that 1,2,3 are crap.![]()

EDIT: Also the 12 films thing is a load of bull. Empires working title was Star Wars II Empire Strikes Back and it featured the ghost of Lukes father as a character. They didn't title it as Star Wars V until they merged the two characters. Not to mention the story became 6 films after Lucas decided to retcon the "other" Luke was to train in VII,VIII,IX as Leia and to kill the Emperor in VI instead of IX. He's a creative guy but he's turned to the darkside a long time ago and he's forgotten the reasons films are collaborative efforts. This is the main reason I find a great deal of hope in these films.
Nah, ur not a minority. I love 'em as well, and so do many others.I know I'm in the minority big time and I know they have many flaws but I do love the prequels

I was referring to the possibility of Han, Luke, Leia, and Chewie coming back for another adventure in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.
I agree to some extent, Unless Mark plays an older Obi-Wan type character in this trilogy.I'm sorry, but those guys are all WAY too old to reprise their characters as anything other than secondary characters in a live action movie.
But in an animated movie, they can be made to look as young or as old as the animators want them to.
And by the way, I happened to have found the animation in Polar Express to be pretty damn amazing.
As for the use of CG in Star Wars movies? Lucas went way overboard with the prequels. Episode II was on Spike TV the other day and for a moment there during the final battle I thought I had turned the channel onto an ad for a new space battle video game. Hopefully Disney will be wise enough to use CGI sparingly in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.

This is going to be a live action movie to fit in with Episodes 1-6. This is not going to be an animated movie.
Aesthetically yes it will, it's being title Episode 7. Whether or not you think it will is all up to you.No it won't ,but I think we'll see an animated series focusing on Han and Chewbacca at some point.
