Ep's 4, 5, and 6 (with the exception of the climactic teddy bear battle) accomplished what George wanted. Movies that simulated the old style saturday morning cartoons, or 1930's sci fi reels. Like Flash Gordon, and Buck Rogers.

Ep's 1, 2, and 3 were too well... umm .... DISNEY! Don't get me started on whiney bitch "Manicen" (oh hell i forgot how to friggen spell it) Skywalker. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Disney didn't make the Star Wars prequels.  That's all George.

To even compare Star Wars and Star Trek..... Diferent, different, but.....different 

I know Disney did not make the prequels. That doesnt change the fact that they seem very umm.. Disney.

Perhaps he made behind the scenes plans with Disney during production of EP 1 (Yea yea i know.. Let the conspiracy theory's begin)

umm.  The Avengers movie is okay made under Disney owned Marvel.  I don't consider the prequels "Disney" in any way.   Seemed to me to be all middle aged George Lucas' vision.  He wanted to shoot green screen so he can sit in his directors chair and drink coffee while watching his actors in front of him instead of going anywhere and doing anything.  I'm not exaggerating either.

The prequels were 'franchise sales' movies. That's all. Just pack on all the toys and games and collectables. Sell. Sell. Sell.

Lucas lost sight of what his audience wanted. His audience wanted a visionary experience.....and instead they got Jar Jar Binks....sigh.

Disney knows how to make a movie, especially when there's something as colossal as Star Wars! Lucas was getting senile, i mean who would even consider naming his movie as "Attack of the clones"?!??

He couldn't stop milking the Star Wars universe, as Jar Jar Douche was undeniably a character pulled out of his ass, rather then his head! This ain't no He-Man! You're just gonna make movies so that you can sell to kids everything you could possibly think of?!

Disney doesn't screw around... the latest Marvel movie extravaganzas are quite the effort!

I agree with you about Disney. the problem is, they have an image problem. My son, a big Star Wars fan, says he won't go to a movie made by Disney because he thinks they make stuff for little kids.

Star Wars always WAS made for 'little kids'...demograhic would have been low-teens and below...

Should the new films have anything to do with the Sith and Jedi Knights and so on, or instead maybe a whole new corner of some other galaxy even farther away with all it's own mythology and heroes and villians with absolutely no connection with the 'galaxy' we know?

You know, I'm starting to get the feeling Jafo isn't a Star Wars fan.  

I think you hit the nail on the head. I remember taking my 13 year old son to see a couple of the newer star wars episodes, don't even remember which ones now but he loved them while I had to sit there and endure them. I am still a 1966 Star Trek fan when sliding doors were activated by someone's arm. 

So why are you Trekkies posting here? 

A little adversity is a good thing is it not? unless of course you all jut want hugs and a pat on the back.
