Disney buys Lucasfilm for $4b...

[Grieve]

I hate Star Wars. The Adventures of Winnie the Poo was a better movie in 77 than Star Wars.

Having watched The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh about 20 times in a row with my 2 year old, I do have a soft spot for it. But if you hate the original Star Wars you have no soul.

Primarily because Lucas sucks.

He didn't suck back then. American Graffiti was great, THX 1138 was pretty good, and as well as writing Raiders of the Lost Ark, he was heavily involved in making it with Spielberg. He was even originally supposed to direct Apocalypse Now, as difficult as that is to imagine now. It didn't start to go downhill until Howard The Duck...

As for Star Wars VII, it looks like Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and even Harrison Ford are all up for being in it. Plus, it seems that Michael Arndt might be writing it, which is a great sign. He wrote Little Miss Sunshine (great movie), as well as Toy Story 3 (also great) and the next Hunger Games flick. And Steven Spielberg is reading his 40-page treatment...
