Overall, Has Disney Helped or Hurt Star Wars?

I am an OT guy and was very skeptical when Lucas sold it all to Disney. I had no interest in any sort of remakes or even a new bunch of movies that were just teenage-pandering characters in a new hip version of the galaxy with everything that went on in the first six movies…  MORE q

Is George Lucas is a Bad Screenwriter?

Here is the general rumor that will be challenged: Star Wars was successful because of special effects, timing and other people who stepped in to help, but, otherwise, George Lucas couldn’t write a decent movie to save his life. To put this question in perspective, there is almost no other movie that has enveloped the…  MORE q
