Comment Star Wars (IV, V, and VI) (Score 1) 922
A few have mentioned the Star Wars prequels, but not much has been said about the original trilogy.
My take on it is that *eventually* everything that is successful is redone and/or rebooted. The way I see it is that Lucas has two choices here.
1) He does not want the original Trilogy to be rebooted. Fine. Everyone waits until Lucas is dead and then they fight over Star Wars copyrights, and *eventually* an original Trilogy reboot is produced.
Results: Money is made hand over fist. (Note: This is not too different that how the Star Trek reboot happened.)
2) Lucas comes to the realization that the first scenario will happen if he does nothing, so instead, he gives the green light to do a Star Wars original trilogy reboot, provides some basic direction and ILM, but is otherwise hands off.
Results: *LUCAS* makes money is made hand over fist.
