Too Good to Be True

My titles are getting blander by the day, although I did like my title yesterday. It actually made -some- sense to the content! This title does, too, but it's just really boring, is all.

Here is an excellent and hilarious article from Total Film: "How to Reboot Star Wars." Everyone knows how crazy the fans can be about this kind of stuff, but the choices made in this article for writer and even cast are pretty awesome. Christopher Nolan and J.J. Abrams writing = yes! Christian Bale as Chewbacca = brilliance! He looks a lot like a Wookie to me, you know? It's the facial hair. I like his reasoning: "I've never played a Wookie before!" Also I like how Jude Law replaces Michael Caine in the C3PO suit and also the implications behind C3P0 being a double-agent.

While I'm personally against a remake being made of one of my favorite movies, as well as probably the most iconic movie ever, the prequel movie that they were talking about WOULD be insane and amazing, especially if it mostly focused on that one new guy and Han Solo and Chewbacca's CRAZZZZY times in the Millennium Falcon. Star Wars: Reign of the Emperor. I would go for that. The article kind of made me really excited for it, too.

I wonder what George Lucas thinks. The sad thing is, if he read this article and was inspired by it, the movie that he'd make in reality would probably be crud. I think the reason that the movies turned out so awesome in this little ARTICLE FROM THE FUTURE!!!! was because Lucas didn't write them or direct them. Brother's lost his touch.

So. I've never anticipated something that doesn't even exist this much. ET TU, BRUTE? How excited would you be for a Star Wars prequel?
