Why Can't Lucas Become President of LucasFilms?

I'm not claiming the new films are better than the original three, only one of which was directed by Lucas, but that they are worlds better than the 3 prequels he did direct. I felt the prequels got progressively worse, and Episode 3 is the low point of the franchise, but one can make a valid case for any of the three films as the worst of the bunch. They all stink.

The Force Awakens, meanwhile, is right up there with the first three, and I don't think I'm alone, or even in a small minority, that thinks so. The originals hold a special place in my heart, and the hearts of many, and I'd still rank them at the top, though a credible argument can be made that TFA is a little bit better than Return of the Jedi. The Last Jedi, on the other hand, isn't as good, but still much better than the Lucas-directed prequels.

Critical and audience response to the two new films has been overwhelmingly positive. You are part of a very, very small, but very, very loud, number of people who disparage them. The numbers don't lie-- if audiences don't like a film, it doesn't matter the franchise, the stars, or the characters. Just look at something like Justice League if you don't believe me. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman together in the movie fans dreamed of seeing their whole life, and it flopped and lost money because it was a lousy film that people hated.

I have no hate for George Lucas whatsoever. He created Star Wars, and deserves eternal admiration for that alone. And, I really like American Graffiti. I simply think he's far past his prime. Look at the changes he went back and made to the original Star Wars. J.J. Abrams, on the other hand, has a strong track record, and TFA was masterful. I'm among the vast majority eager to see how he closes out this trilogy.

There you go again, falsely assuming I have an agenda, or that I'm some sort of SJW. Of course, you also think the 8th highest grossing domestic film of all time, and a film that made over $1.3 billion dollars, was by some stretch a money loser, so it's no surprise that you're making such incorrect assumptions.

I can be firmly opposed to SJW's, and I am, and still find George Lucas to be a hack. I can acknowledge The Force Awakens as one of the best Star Wars films ever made while still finding the SJW agenda appalling, which I do.

Maybe you're right. I didn't think about that.

Cause they realize that thier franchise is dying. And the name Lucas will give hope back to movie goers. Kennedy is now officla toxic in terms of box office.

It's impossible to take that post seriously. "Lied" is extreme, Lucasfilm still makes them not Disney, and rehashing is just a bad road to go down since Lucas literally rehashed a Flash Gordon story into Star Wars after failing to secure the FG license in the 70s. That's literal fact.

Plus, Phantom Menace was indeed largely a rehash of A New Hope, even down to minor character scenes like Padme and Leia covering Anakin and Luke with a blanket on a ship.

Plus some ROTJ... The Gungan army is just like the Ewok army, and the pod racers are a lot like the speeder bikes.

The repetition, of course, is fully intentional. Just like Terminator 2 rehashing the story from Terminator.

I've never found someone bashing a movie for being a rehash and also being willing to bash all rehashes. If you don't like a movie, you don't need to try to find "objective" criticisms. Your opinion is bigger than that!

Oh give me a break.
