Buying LucasFilm for all the franchise rights makes perfect sense given the long history of the two companies collaborating. Filming Star Wars Ep. 7 does not.

Regarding Star Wars Ep. 7, I say: who cares? They've comprehensively ruined the franchise with Eps 1/2/3 already, what's the worst they can do? Ruin it some more? Fucking have at it cunts.

Not that anyone cares, but it was the other way around.




Star Wars Ep. 7: The Next Generation. Yeah, they can ruin it more.

Surely you can't get much more out of Star Wars?

It always has been George Lucas' intention to make an episode 7, 8 and 9, so it's no real surprise that this was going to happen.

Seriously...does anyone actually give a fuck about this franchise anymore? Are people that stupid to keep giving them a chance? They're going to milk it. We know this. But does anyone care? Is everyone going through the motions of being a consumer whore and just hoping they don't fuck up the next one? Is consumer whorism the same as battered woman syndrome?

I still can't figure out why people pay actual money to see the Paranormal Activity franchise...so I'm guessing the answer to all my questions in the previous paragraph is "yes".

I can't wait for the aliens to wipe us out. :up:

Me too.
I know they are suppose to scare the life out of you but couldn't tell you anymore than that.
Aliens, ghosts :confused:
Are there a number (of movies) in the series?
