With respect. Big hairy sweaty bowlarks. The Star Trek brief was a real hot potatoe to deal with. Very much like the Star Wars job. Huge nerdy fanbase check. A tired franchise that needs reinventing whilst staying true to the spirit of the original, check. The casting on the Star Trek film was spot on as was the pacing. It returned the idea back to it's simple roots as a good old fashioned adventure story based in space. He has the potential to do the same with Star Wars, removing the reliance on special effects as spectacle and paying attention to character development and the mythic qualities of obstacles overcome on their journey. His super 8 film is clearly a homage to Spielberg and Lucas and his TV work proves he has the stamina to keep the quality sustained throughout a long story arc. He the man.

I somewhat agree with Smashup. In terms of the new Star Wars I will definitely not watch them. The original 3 films are cracking fun, but the last 3 were just horrid, turgid, humourless, vapid preambles to something that was very enjoyable. Any moderate interest in Star Wars was destroyed with that trilogy. Seeing Anakin turn into pure evil was supposed to be a wickedly brilliant demise of the soul, but it was more like that Britney Spears impersonator on You Tube. So even in finally turning 'dark' it did it in a weak filling in the blanks way. Very contrived. And so with any new films, I would just prefer to stay away. The first 3 is Star Wars and that is Star Wars done for me. It would be the same with a new Indiana Jones film, I would just avoid it. Superman is another one that I wouldn't bother with. They had a chance to redeem the Superman flicks and they just ruined it some more. It's better to just stay with what was untarnished and draw a line in the sand of today.

Keep it free of Jar jar and bring back the raging Sand people, real Storm troopers and the one dancer from Hutts den and I'm good. The last three were dumbed down too much for the kiddies. Oh and don't slaughter the damn Wookies this time![]()
If I was going to make the next trilogy I would make it the story of how Han Solo & Chewbacca came to be smugglers & their success with that. I would take the opportunity to show loads more of the bounty hunters especially Boba Fett who is a damn crowd favorite & due to his parts in the original trilogy can't be killed off this time (honestly, what did George Lucas have against him?). The Empire vs The Rebellion will be a backdrop to Han Solo's character development.
I always figured the movies should show what the Empire actually did. In 'A New Hope' the Empire was strong & forboding, in 'Empire Strikes Back' they were lethal....in 'Return of the Jedi' they were destroyed by furry little Ewoks.....the fuck bruh? The FUCK?!?! Show those Stormtroopers destroying cities, planets, raiding ships, causing havoc, oppressing people...make them look dangerous! The Bounty Hunters as well, they should look dangerous & deadly & be capable of their jobs. Show the Rebels getting their asses kicked because that was supposed to happen!!!
I think the new trilogy could be great. The 1-3 trilogy SUCKED nobody gives a fuck what Darth Vader & Boba Fett were like as children...fucking NOBODY!!!! Screwed the pooch on those damnit....I wish we could get a fucking do over on that.
