Yes. A thousand times, yes.
In all seriousness, as long as Lucas is nowhere near it, episode 7 might actually be good. I haven't read the other books myself but I've heard lots of good things about them (which Lucas had nothing to do with). Additionally, does anyone remember the Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon series that ran on cartoon network for a while? It was totally awesome, and again, Lucas had nothing to do with it.
yes it would be actually the best of the star wars franchise if george lucas had never existed, right? right?
What else is there to talk about in the story? Every plot line has been exhausted. I'm pretty worried about this; I just feel it will tarnish the awesome SW Saga...
Hope they take the Thrawn trilogy into account when making Ep 7,8 and 9. These were the greatest books post ROTJ.
Came home from work. Read that news. Head explosed. This is all I can say. Lucas is not a good director but if he stays as creative consultant it may be awesome!
So I was thinking. Who would play Han, Luke, Leia, Lando etc... ? Let the guessing game begin!
lucas already tarnished it. finally, no more fucking starwars enhanced/reimagining/3d editions or whatever. lets hope disney gets somebody good to direct. maybe we will get a decent movie out of this.

There's a huge amount of story continuing on that has been discussed and heavily written about in tons of novels. Spoiler: palpatine doesn't die, he has clones of himself.

There's always a different take you can do to any story or setting. The problem is that Disney's not doing this because they have a brilliant, new story or that needs to be told. They're doing this to rake in money. That means PG-13/U rated CGI-fest to wow the kids and sell merchandise. I'm not going to completely write this off yet, but I don't expect anything from it.
Omg I hope it is of the Solo children and the Yuuzhan Vong wars (done right, not cheesy, of course). :D I always wanted a well done movie of them. Jacen is one of my favorites <3

i dont think the rating is necessarily important. all the original star wars films are U, and the avengers was a PG-13/12-A cgi-fest
