Wow! So you're actually blaming George Lucas for the shortcomings of a movie that he had absolutely nothing to do with? What a bunch of mularkey. Disney now owns Star Wars and can do whatever they want with it. By your own admission they chose to do a soft reboot. Not Lucas' choice, now is it? Honestly, all of the Lucas hate needs to end. Without him there would be no Star Wars at all... I will admit this though. It is his fault that The Force Awakens exists. He sold Star Wars to Disney which allowed them to make this garbage movie. |
Absolutely not! I'm blaming Lucas for the shortcomings of the prequels and losing the trust of the fans and the state the francise was in when he sold it. That's what Disney had to repair and earn back that trust before they could do anything new with the franchise. As far as the box office goes, it seems to work.
And the Force Awakens may not be the best of the Star Wars movies, but calling it a "garbage movie" really doesn't give you much credibility discussing movies. It is a very competent movie regardless of the franchise and both writing and cinematography is way beyond anything Lucas would be able to achieve these days.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
