I am cautiously optimistic, but I also come at this as a Star Trek fan, specifically TNG.

This is the second time JJ Abrams has remade ANH.

I thought the movie was good but not amazing, probably a solid B. The comparison to ANH seem apt, since I'd probably give them a B as well.

When the prequels came out, was there the sentiment that "They should have just remade the original trilogy with updated graphics"?

The movie should have ended 15 seconds earlier. That 360* shot was stupid. It should have cut to credits with Luke removing his hood with the camera on his face. Alternatively, Like could have force pulled his light saber and turned it on. That would have been an epic badass moment to go out on.

It just processed for me that Lucas didn't write, direct, or produce ESB. In retrospect, it's surprising anyone would have thought the prequels would be good.

turtlecrunch posted:The prequels already had a tough job just in concept: they had to make the tragic transformation of a dumb little kid into the coolest villain of all time (but notably, still a villain and a murderer and stuff) into a rollicking family adventure, and the audience already knows the ending the entire time. Why even bother making it? I think the answer is money.
