I am a huge Harry Potter fan but the writing is anything but neat and tidy.

There are a ton of holes in the Harry Potter universe. JK Rowling is an amazing story teller and an unbelievably creative writer, but Charles Dickens or Jane Austen she is not.

When you compare the writing of star wars and Harry Potter,

Why does no one want to direct it? and why do they want to quit?

Apparently they are changing directors and Kennedy is

johnnycarson

7/15/18 9:56pm

She should have just let the director and creative teams do their thing

Crazy Duck

They already have a director. It’s jj abrams. They want to replace the head of Lucas film, Kathleen Kennedy, but no one

But I don't think it was always Abrams. They fired someone.

Kennedy fired Colin Trevorrow (Director of Jurassic World)

Crazy Duck

True. I bet he’s kinda relieved now.

The problem with SW is that it’s been over 40 years since the beginning and fans put it on a pedestal

The other problem is Lucas. He had a great idea

Maybe the writing is tidy because it's from... books

Crush4

And the same person

This is the biggest reason all movies from books are generally better

This is the most true statement on CB for ages.

SW is a Great universe with dumb stories

Mrs Featerbottom

That's kinda true.

I don't like eigher much, but at least star wars doen't put me to sleep quite as

I thought HP had waaaaaaaaay better character development than SW

Crazy Duck

7/15/18 10:02pm

It does for sure. But the first 3 sw movies did a much better

johnnycarson

7/15/18 10:03pm

Oh I completely agree. This new series had so much potential too...

Crazy Duck

7/15/18 10:05pm

Problem with the newest SW characters is you dont care about them.

WJCougar

TLJ really killed the character development for everyone

Crazy Duck

7/15/18 10:03pm

True....you got an idea in Force Awakens....then TLJ did nothing with it.

WJCougar

7/15/18 10:06pm

Yep, you end up not caring at all if the new characters bite the dust

Crush4

7/15/18 10:03pm

I wouldn't have been sad if Finn died in that final scene of TLJ.

WJCougar

7/15/18 10:08pm

And *spoiler alert A* turned into a real *spolier alert B*

Gil Buckman

No need for spoiler alerts with Star Wars.

Lucas had one of the greatest & absolutely

Lucas didn't throw anything away, he sold it for over $4 Billion. Disney's going to come out in the black too.

I’m talking 1997 when he started “fixing” the originals

I think that's part of the point. Re-reading (listening?) to the HP audio-books with my kids and Rowlings
