Please, Disney, do not hurt Star Wars.

When it comes to Star Wars, we take it really many to heart. The usually other film authorization tighten to being that dedicated to me is The Lord of a Rings. I can't assistance it. When we was 7 years old, we was a aim audience. I have always desired those brown-robed Jawas and their crazy voices! I have been quoting Yoda for years, and we owe him for broadening my pensive bargain of a universe we live in.  My friends and we used to videotape a trailers for a prequels and accumulate together to plead any one in detail.  Those were good times. 

With all of this in mind, we have a summary for Disney. Don’t hurt Star Wars. we know they contingency feel some staggering vigour with such an undertaking. Kathleen Kennedy is during a forefront, and that is a good choice given a lady has been compared with some of a many successful films and filmmakers in Hollywood’s history. J.J. Abrams is directing – I’ve already lonesome that ground.  George Lucas is to offer as artistic consultant, to fundamentally make certain that a story they come adult with doesn’t go opposite a simple Star Wars storyline (as it exists so far). John Williams is doing a score. To date, all is looking flattering good.

Yet, my fears – that we am certain we share with many other fans – are still there. After some-more than 30 years, we feel we know a thing or dual about my dear franchise. Therefore, nonetheless we am fearful, concede me to offer some suggestions on what not to do.

To not hurt a franchise, we have to be picturesque about a process. First of all, there is not a singular other film ever finished with some-more special-effects shots than any Star Wars film. The geniuses during Industrial Light Magic and Skywalker Sound have cornered that market. Thus, we have to be studious with a recover schedule.  Even if a principal sharpened is finished in dual weeks, it takes time to get all of those overwhelming shots finished and finished right. That’s because historically, a authorization has expelled a film each 3 years, and because it should not go with this absurd report of a new Star Wars film every year.

Second, don’t try to be lovable and crafty by throwing each actor that was ever in Star Wars into these films. I have review a lot about this news given it was initial brought up. Will it work? I don’t know. Harrison Ford is 70 now, Carrie Fisher isn’t all that stable, and we don’t wish a Christopher Lee/Count Dooku diagnosis finished to Mark Hamill. Now, Jonathan Rhys-Myers is rumored to have been cast. Sounds like a decent choice to me, though we am usually certain of one thing: It’s improved to hunt for lesser-known actors that are looking for an event than squeeze A-listers that are large fans of Star Wars.  Abrams has historically been flattering good about this. 

Finally, whatever we do, get a knave right! The Star Wars tale to date was about one man: Darth Sidious/The Emperor.  That’s a strong large act to follow and even incomparable boots to fill. I consider it would be correct for a new film to start with a knave and reverse-engineer a whole trilogy of episodes seven, eight, and 9 around this.. To exam this villain, we would advise concentration groups, some Star Wars fans and some not, though possibly approach if a knave isn’t resonating, chuck him out. The bottom line is, if we attain with a villain, a rest should take caring of itself. 

Of march Disney will attain in formulating that mythology once more, and of this we have no fear. It’s Disney after all, and they can work critical magic. Look during Pixar and Marvel.  Plus, George Lucas only won’t let Disney totally renovate his invention into something unrecognizable. we only wish that a artistic group pays courtesy to these other probable pitfalls before they hurt a dear franchise. 

May a Force be with them.
