It cant be worse then the prequal's

 I hope. The director has potential.

Based on the last decade...

Mass Effect > Star Wars
Uncharted > Indiana Jones
Bioshock > Titanic.

I'm not going to defend Lucas' statement regarding video games, because that's nonsense.  But, I will defend his work post 1999 as a Star Wars fanatic.  My mouth gaped open watching Jango Fett's head loped off by Mace Windu right in front of little Boba Fett.  Jango is a memorable character for me, as well as Mace Windu (whether that's just because of Samuel L. Jackson playing him is besides the point).  Darth Maul I think is a memorable villain and a shame he was offed in the climax of Phantom Menace.  General Greivous is memorable as well I think.  But, the main problem with criticizing no memorable characters in Star Wars in the prequels is the very fact that the storyline of the prequels focus around the already established characters of the original trilogy (Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Chancellor Palpatine, Yoda...)  And to clarify my position on the prequels, I liked but didn't love Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.  However, I thought Revenge of the Sith was so awesome, I helped it shatter (then) box office records by seeing it 9 times in the theater (I've never seen any other movie more than 3 times before or since that, by the way).

 I never understood what was so great about Titanic that everybody seemed to love. The  love story was decent, but nothing that would blow you away.

 Of course. Just to clarify. I don't HATE the prequels. I do agree that they focused on Yoda, Obi Wan, etc.. a bit too much. They are OK movies. Now with Star Wars Episode 7, Lucas has been saying that it will feature Luke in the 30s and 40s and details  like that. That was said by him in the 80s, but I don't think that changed in all those years.

the last videogame they played was what pacman? pong? just curious how much they really "know".

 Oddly enough, Spielberg worked on Boom Blox for the Wii, but wait! People liked it for the gameplay, not for the story and characters.

I am convinced that if the setting of the story was not placed on the actual "Titanic", but instead some fictional boat, it would not have had the tremendous box office impact it did.  I also wasn't wowed by Cameron's other blockbuster Avatar which is also known as "Dances with Wolves in space".

Not bad movies, but very overrated.
