Imagine how different things would have been had he gotten FLASH GORDON back then.Super 8 is one of my favorite films of the last decade. I think it's wonderful.

Most likely Luke will be the new Jedi master, and as the series pointed out, and his character from Return of the Jedi - he will be dull and monotone. Most Likely Princess Liea will be a Senator now - and naturally she will be as dull as Senator Amadala. Han Solo will likely be by her side, running things from his chair because he's too old to move around quickly.... I'll probably watch the new film but like all the prequels I'll come away wishing they hadn't made them. George Lucas isn't the greatest story teller in the world. Star Wars and Empire were very good, but after that he went downhill quickly. As a director he's pretty forgettable. And of course he keeps trying to improve the films, but keeps making them worse. How about you plug up those plot holes, George? Or better yet, leave the original films alone and just remake them with an all new cast.
