They should totally do it Harryhausen style. I'd watch that.
It's weird. People who really should know better keep trying to tell me I'm actually a SW fan. How many different ways can I say that a universe in which Jar Jar outlives Maul is not a universe in which I feel welcome? But it's such a huge geek tag -- dude, do Buffy and Lord of the Rings not suffice? Trek, for christ's sake. I'm so much more of a trekker than ... what to Star Wars fans call themselves?
I'm hoping something shiny distracts him long enough for them to hire someone else to write/direct.
We should be so lucky. *sigh*
Some of the Clone Wars are full episodes not just five minute bumpers.
1000 Years of Solitude by Marquez
Is this like One Hundred Years of Solitude to the power of ten?
It's just barely possible that a case could be made for some of Gloria Naylor being magical realism, if you wanted to get a Murrican in there -- in particular,
Linden Hills
(inspired by Dante's "Divine Comedy" -- probably the Inferno, but possibly a bit of Purgatorio as well) and
Mama Day
(inspired by "The Tempest," though not much survives except an island and a terrible storm and vast amounts of love). And possibly some Louise Erdrich, and definitely Mark Helprin.
I liked
Clone Wars
quite a bit. I, erm, have it on DVD (or the first 20 episodes, anyway). I don't get this 3-D concept, though.
1000 Years of Solitude by Marquez
It's a reference to that monster that Boba Fett fell into.
I don't get this 3-D concept, though.
The Incredibles
was done in 3-D. If that helps.

You have to think like George Lucas. 3-d computer animation is a newer technology than 2-d hand-drawn cel animation, therefore, it's better for storytelling.

It probably will as soon as I watch it..there are no red and blue glasses involved, I take it?

I think there's also the problem of people who are -- perhaps not fans but connoisseurs -- who turn up their noses at the new stuff. I'm not ragingly fannish about the original, pre-edited trilogy, but they're head and shoulders better than what is in print now.
I come by my snobbery honestly. I also prefer the original, "mistaken" ending of
Kiss Me Deadly,
in which it is implied that the world is destroyed by a nuclear weapon. (The same glowing suitcase that Quentin Tarantino borrowed for
Pulp Fiction.
) They found the intended ending (far less apocalyptic) many years later in a jar someplace, but it's just not as good as the one we already have.
