Journal 3

Star Wars is coming back. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times by Gina McIntyre, Disney will be coming out with three new Star Wars movies. The first to arrive into theaters in 2015. That sounds great but unlike the first movies, George Lucas will neither direct or write them. Lucas will only be a creative consultant. In the article it was announced that Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy will be the executive producer.

Personally I think it is very cool that the Star Wars franchise will continue since I am a big Star Wars fan. But I don't think they will be the same since George Lucas will not be the head honcho this time. The original movies that became famous were done by Lucas. So I think it will be hard to make anything above his work. A big question is what will they make the movie about? I mean after the final film, Return of the Jedi Luke defeated the sith lord and restored balance. But what most people don't know is that there are tons of books that were written that have never been made into movies. So I am excited to see how these movies turn out. http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/10/30/star-wars-three-new-movies-lucas-wont-write-or-direct/

    Although I have never seen any Star War's movies and don't have any interest to, I always find remakes to be controversial. An example I could personally use is Footloose. I like the new Footloose a hundred times better because I can relate to it so much easier. Ever since I realized the new movie was better than the old, I am more open minded towards other remade movies. One can never know if the new, remade movie is as terrible as they are often perceived to be until the watch it for their selves.
