I've said elsewhere in the forum that I don't think Star Wars can work without George Lucas. I would also say that it probably wouldn't work with him anymore either. Star Wars to me is the original trilogy and that's it regardless of who's in charge. That's what matters most and that's what worked best. It was a wonderfully told story that didn't need any prequels or sequels. The greatest achievement in cinema history and short of inventing a time machine and bringing back all the original crew and cast, I don't believe any other "Star Wars" movie will ever come close to it. I appreciate the story that George wanted to tell with the prequels and while I have no love for Disney or their movies, I understand and appreciate the desire that many have for more Star Wars even if I'm not one of them. That being said...
I think putting Kevin Feige in charge of a Star Wars movie is a fantastic move. I have tremendous respect and appreciation for how he handled Marvel and I think he would make the best Star Wars movie that can be made. I remember reading an interview where he said he was as big a Star Wars fan as a comic book fan. As long as Disney doesn't meddle in the production, I think Feige could accomplish something substantial, especially if he collaborated with Lucas. He could be that Gary Kurtz type figure that reigns in George's ideas when he needs to. I still don't believe we'll ever get a great Star Wars movie like before because like I said I don't think it's possible to recapture that magic. But I sincerely wish him the best of luck and for other fans' sake, I hope they get the quality movie they deserve.
