The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

In this case it's still true that he's not making it - he's passing the torch to others. I, for one, am glad of this, because I share the opinions that Heald has already given; Episodes IV-VI were strong, I-III were incredibly not. I will also remain cautiously optimistic, but I want to enter the movie theater with no expectations of any kind. I may do my very best to avoid seeing any trailers for it. (I may also fail this endeavor.)

On a tangent, I'm heartened by the news that Mr. Lucas intends to donate all $4 billion from the sale to education. Lord knows it's sorely needed! The man's filmmaking acumen may have slumped off, but he's a class act.

He retains creative control, I believe.

He retains creative control, I believe.

From what I've read they're writing the scripts based on a story he came up with. I think that will be great, the original trilogy Lucas had help from other writers and directors which strengthened his vision. The prequels on the other hand he took everything on himself and things feel flat in a lot of places.
