Sometimes you can get too much of a good thing. The prequel trilogy ruined everything by trying to explain things better left unexplained. Also, the characters they introduced were terrible, and CGI just sucks compared to models. The pacing of the prequel trilogy was off: too busy and frenetic and "hey look at me!" compared to the gentler, somber pace of the older films. The older films had dignity. I'm not looking forward to Episode 7: Attack of Mediocrity. They should just close down Star Wars now, and people should move on to new ideas.

The hype and attention on this will be huge. Expectations from fanboys will be to make movies better than the prequels, and Disney of course just wants $$$. Plus, how to work well with Hamill, Ford and Fisher. I don't envy the new director, but I'd be okay if Matthew Vaughn or Gore Verbinski got it.

If Del Toro were given free reign, what would he do with a new installment? I was more intrigued by The Hobbit when he was still attached to it. With his knowledge of mythology, his operatic sense of storytelling, it would've been fun…
