I'm afraid so. As others have said, he's starting to look more and more like a young lesbian.

my greatest hope in all this is that Abrams took a rather flaccid franchise, casted well, worked a great angle in the story that honored the legacy well, and made it relevant for viewers like myself who weren't hard core trekkies.

There are many other directors and screenwriters working on the Han Solo Trilogy, Boba Fett and Yoda. Abrams is the "Top Line" guy right now that they needed for P.R. reasons but MY money is on the spinoffs because there aren't as many restraints as there would be with an "Episode". The other entries and parts of the Star Wars Universe can appeal to a different crowd, entirely (i.e. not 6 year olds). |

PR or no, i personally feel he can be trusted with the work. People get worked up about the prequels, but i think its more of an age/perspective thing than a great gulf of awesomeness seperating the two. Is peter cushing really a better actor than liam neeson? Anywho, with Kasdan writing, Abrams in the chair, and Lucas advising, there is great potential here.

Lucas NOT being in the directors chair is EVERYTHING.

Whatever happened to the live action show that was projected back in 2005?

George said at one point that it would cost $4 million per to produce so for even 12 episodes, you're talking $48 million. HBO and TNT were the early suitors until the numbers were crunched. Now, with the success of Game of Thrones, it might be a possibility, because they're spending $30-40 million per season (but most of those fees are location fees, not Post, like Star Wars). Anyway, I think we'll see something in the next 3-5 years. |
