AICN: So, STAR WARS... What Happens Now?
Lando was on NCIS last night, playing the best friend of Gibb's father. Will any of the original cast be back for the new trilogy? They say that it will be marketed to a new generation of fans, but shouldn't we have learned our lesson by now, and be wary of introducing it to our children? And then there's the possibility of a reboot/remake of Indiana Jones! Those movies can't be made in multiculturalist/girl-power Hollywood anymore. No River Phoenix roughing it with his scout troop - he'll have to have some girl as a buddy, and she orders him around. Or worse, Disney will re-do the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. (Did they have an episode on the American suffragettes? There will be one in the new series. Young Indy demonstrating because his mother isn't allowed to vote!)
Would the new Star Wars be dumbed down even more, with Lucas's oversight and Disney's influence, or will some fresh blood be allowed to restore the franchise to a level that can be appreciated by people older than 10? Some are optimistic because of what Disney has done for the Marvel movies. Will the state of the global economy in 2015 enable anyone to care?
