And I don't think JJ Abrams & co. are ONLY fans. This is more like the scenario where Cody Miller is given 100 mil to make a game, except I don't know if you know how to make a game.

He doesn't, and he refuses to learn how to make a game or even how to make any kind of program, and it's really frustrating because the arguments he makes about games could have so much more depth and weight to them.

The bottom line is, though, my interest and excitement would be almost zero if Lucas was involved. Nearly all the negatives of what's happened with the franchise since 1984 I associate with him.

Is that fair? He didn't make all the decisions and he certainly didn't create everything, and IIRC a lot of that team is still around.

As you said earlier, people complain about the writing, and Lucas wrote the prequels. The visuals in the prequels were great. The action was great. The actors were good actors. The writing, though, stunk on ice.
