As someone who doesn't really pay much attention to the Expanded Universe (especially outside of the vidjigames), I kinda hope they just ignore it and do their own thing.
I'm with everyone else. High chance of lameness, but I've already put up my mental shields regarding Star Wars. My fondness for the original 3 films is protected, and the onslaught of shit doesn't affect it anymore. All that can come from this is a small chance of additional awesome Star Wars being produced. If not, that's just the status quo.
I watched Jedi a few weeks ago. I must admit that huge portions of that movie are no better than The Phantom Menace. Only that it continues and wraps up the characters and stories from Empire makes it shine so much in people's minds.
1) Epic scenes in the Emperor's chamber 2) Never was there a space battle as big and awesome as that one in any movie before, and perhaps even since. 3) I like Ewoks and even the Ewok song.
I like Ewoks and the Ewok song, but I grew up with them. My first exposure was at 7 years old. I can understand, though, how Ewoks are the older generation's Jar Jar Binks.
Oh, I forgot. The beginning Jabba the Hutt rescue is also the best. Think about how much Star Wars epicness comes just from that opening. Rancor, Sarlacc, carbonite, Salacious Crumb, thermal detonator, "you will take me to Jabba now," slave leia, R2 serving hors d'oeuvres. The only problem is when Han is unrealistically hanging by his feet off the side of the hovercraft. Face palm that shot every time.
Because Ewoks are cutesy and teddy bear like and sort of make it into the Care Bear movie at the end. I cannot fucking stand Jar Jar, so I understand this angle even though Ewoks got me young and therefore I like them.
Jar Jar is not cute at all. Hes freaky and kind of scary looking in a dumb way, and does nothing but goof around in a lame fashion. Ewoks though... I just want to hug them! ^_^
