anyone who's ever seen and liked a star wars movie will have to be BLOODY strong with the power of either side of the force to not go see the new ones.
it's just some sort of weird pull they have, like a crashed x-wing mysteriously emerging from a Dagobah swamp - it just defies logic but none the less, you watch it happen.
i don't know much, but i do know this... i was 7 when New Hope came out and it sorta was a 'new hope' for me as a kid. movies back in the 70s weren't on the whole made for little kids. you had ya disneys (ironically enough considering their recent purchase) and all that stuff but when this new hope came along it was just like "finally! someone REALLY made a movie just for me!!" (I saw Jaws prior to SW but really, not a kiddies movie)
after that they came along thick and fast - Star Wars, INDY, BTTF, Goonies, ET, War Games, Close Encounters... all these amazing movies just seemed to appear.
And even though Indy's still top of my list, I would have to acknowledge that SW was the spark that lit it all up for us little kids.
Now, I have a 4 year old who in 2015 will be... 7.
Naturally, he's been schooled in all the above movies and loves them deeply (especially Indy, SW and BTTF) but this new movie will hopefully be his generation's REAL Star Wars movie. Not those pitiful prequels but real, proper, well thought-out, well acted, well directed movies that he can show his kids one day and say 'look at this, you'll like it - promise.'
I'm really excited about this new batch (ooh Gremlins!) and I just think that if Hollywood has the entire movie community to choose from they really shouldn't arse it up.
As for Luke, Leia and Han being in them...?
I'm a big Ford fan but should it happen??
Yeah! Bollocks to it! Stick him in there, let him have a big old shoot out, fly the Falcon with Chewie and then go out in a mega blaze of glory so Harrison can have his way and kill the old smuggler off once and for all.
Leia? Yeah, Fisher's awesome cool - give her another go.
Hamill - for Godsake he's gotta be there.
