George Lucas wrongly gets credited with the success of Star Wars.
George Lucas in a nutshell:
George Lucas is the guy who originally intended Han Solo to be a fish. He's the guy who envisioned all the Storm Troopers having "laser swords". If left to his own devises, the Original Trilogy wouldn't of been a trilogy. It would of been a shitty B movie sci-fi craptacular known only by fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Original Trilogy was a success because of the artists and people who turned Lucas' basic space-opera concept into what we now know it to be. If not for the artist responsible for Vader's mask, the Storm Troopers, the ships, etc, none of you would even know who George Lucas is.
He essentially made this as clear as a crystal with his three shitty prequel films which he had complete control over, unlike the Original Trilogy which was a huge collaboration of minds.
(By far the best Star Wars film, the Empire Strikes Back, he didn't even direct and had little input on aside from basic plot points.)
Well, selling to Disney might be wrongly thought of as a victory for Star Wars fans, with the franchise now out of the hands of its "creator," but it's going to be a huge steaming pile of shit next to what it will be compared to, which is the originals.
Expect the it to be a Star Trek reboot with a Star Wars skin.
It'll be a nice, entertaining little night at the movies, and if that's all you want, it'll likely deliver.
However, if you're expecting it to be a real compliment to the lore and saga and essence captured by the originals, I'm so, so sorry....
