While I am more of a “Star Trek” fan than “Stars Wars”, I can appreciate “Star Wars”. Sure, why not? I do like the original trilogy and the prequels. I think the prequels are actually pretty good but the writing on the prequels had some problems, plus I hated the Jar Jar Binks character which he wasn’t needed. I believe the only reason Lucas created Jar Jar ’cause he needed an entertaining character for the children.

I really hope the upcoming new trilogy: 7, 8, and 9 will be much improvements. Without Lucas having anything to do with Star Wars this time around, this could be the perfect opportunity to make the Star Wars better films. Yes, Luke Skywalker, Solo, Leia, Lando, Chewbacca and the rest of the original gang will probably reunite for the new series which is gonna be cool.

I’ve always believe that my favorite Star Wars movies have always been “Empire Strikes Back” and “Revenge of the Sith”; they were the best ones, in my opinion. The rest of ’em were just okay. I think the new trilogy will have the potential to top them all if the writing and directing can be good enough. I think J.J. has what it takes to make them good movies ’cause he knows Star Wars better than anybody since he’s a fan. JJ would know exactly what fans would want out of Star Wars and he would do the films justice, I hope.

I was expecting Lucasfilm to make some huge announcement for “Star Wars 7” on May 4th but so far, they’ve been silent. Star Wars 7 is still in the early stages so we still have got a long ways to go for them to start announcing the plot-line, the cast, etc. I am a fan of “Star Wars”, but I’m not that obsessed. Star Wars is cool, though, don’t get me wrong. I’ve always been a fan ever since I was a child. Even saw “Return of the Jedi” in theater when it first came out. I saw all three prequels in theater too.

I just find Star Wars a tad bit overrated. No offense. I am looking forward to seeing what JJ plans to do with the new films, though, it’s intriguing to me.
