I love Star Wars and I'm cautiously optimistic that JJ ("jar jar", puke) Abrams didn't screw this one up again. I doubt it'll live up to my memories of the original (or "Empire" or "Jedi") as a kid but it should be good fun. I hope. Dear lord please no frikkin Jar-Jars or mitichlorians or wooden dialog or other insufferable crap this time. Please. Don't kill my dreams. Again. Please.

Let's not forget that it was George Lucas who took Disney's money. He could have politely refused (or not wooed Disney in the first place--I don't know how the deal was born). Star Wars, as the story goes, was Lucas' baby, his life's project and after all those years he sold it to corporate suits. He must not have felt that strongly about it or perhaps cashing-in was his true dream all along.
