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

The only loser is the fans who have to suffer through poor writing.

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?

Flyingdolphin

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

7/15/18 10:07pm

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

johnnycarson

7/15/18 9:52pm

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

Crush4

7/15/18 9:51pm

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

7/15/18 9:53pm

That's kinda true.

Kinda my point with my post below.

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

Plato

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

7/15/18 10:01pm

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

7/15/18 10:17pm

No need for spoiler alerts with Star Wars.

7/15/18 10:23pm

Lucas had one of the greatest & absolutely

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

Downtown

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

RalphWiggam

7/15/18 11:15pm

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

SW movies >>> HP movies
