Hard to imagine that it won't. JJ Abrams did an excellent job with the Star Trek redux, and funny but true, he's actually a Star Wars fan. So far, they have Ford, Fisher, Hamill, and now Billy D to hand off the torch to the next generation of galactic players. Disney has shown tendencies to let down their hair a little, and Abrams has proven that he can deliver an edgy story that doesn't tend to offend. My only fear is the early date scheduled for release. Can they pull off cementing a storyline, film it, and put it through post production in two years? It seems like they still have major players signing up every day.

I hope Episode VII will be good ..

Lol, too true. Somehow, when you think it has finally run it's course, it still manages to amaze. When Lucas did the digital remasters, I bought the trilogy on dvd, but it wasn't until I watched them on a high-def led a few years later that I appreciated his genius. It's like he anticipated the new age of commercially available televisions when he released the set.

Can I ever tire of this movie? No. Is it still my favorite (or right there) after all these years? You bet. There's such a sense of adventure and heroism to this film that it's impossible not to get caught up in it. Darth Vader personifies evil like no other and who wouldn't want to put their trust in old Ben Kenobi on some damn fool idealistic crusade? Throw in a smart ass with a wookie sidekick and a spunky princess, you won't think twice.

Thought for the day:

Harrison Ford leaving Melissa Mathison to marry Callista Flockhart is like Han Solo leaving Princess Leia for C-3PO!

These Moives were the best movies to come out until Lord of the Rings.

The original 3 Star Wars films will be released on DVD in September in 4 DVD set. No word on whether the set will be the original (theatrical) releases of the films or the jazzed up releases. Hopefully Lucasfilms will allow the DVD to be played in either format-like turing on director commentary. For more info-www.starwars.com

I love the original Star Wars trilogy--much better than the prequels even though I was very young when they first came out, and I had to catch them on VHS. The first time I got to see this one in theaters was when the special editions were released in '97. George Lucas at this time had such imagination and this is fantasy at its top form, otherwise these movies wouldn't be the fixtures they are even 25 years later. I loved Han Solo from the moment he was introduced; I think that's why I don't love the prequels so much because his character was so pivotal to me liking the movies. This is more self-contained than the LOTR trilogy so it has a more definitive ending. Leia was a great female character for this time also, as she was both physical and smart.
