[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 8558238, member: 58197"] I actually wish Disney [I]would[/I] remake the prequels, because the failings of 1-3 are mirror images of the failings of 7-9. 1-3 had a fantastic, well-thought-out, intricate plot, in service of a sweeping vision; a grand tragedy encompassing the parallel falls of the Republic and of Anakin Skywalker. Unfortunately, that plot was shackled to terrible writing, bad direction, and acting which ranged from "Christopher Lee exerting all his immense talent to breathe some semblance of life into his lines" to "Hayden Christensen mumbling about sand." Then add massive overuse of early CGI, and some cartoonishly offensive ethnic stereotypes thrown in for good measure. 7-9 was solid in all the areas 1-3 fell short. The nuts and bolts were fine. Disney is good at those. But the plot was an incoherent mess and there was no real vision for any of it. (Episode 8 managed part of a vision, but Johnson left it tangled and Abrams chose the Alexander approach to untangling it.) A remake of the prequels would, at worst, be just another botched Star Wars trilogy... and at best, it would marry Lucas's grand vision to Disney's craftsmanship and make the movies we were all hoping to see when the curtains rose on "Phantom Menace." ...Anyway. As far as Firefly goes, I think it's well named. It flashed for a moment in the dark and now it's gone. The setting wasn't the source of the magic. It couldn't be remade properly without Joss Whedon, and it certainly won't be made [I]with[/I] Joss Whedon after recent revelations, so that's that. [/QUOTE]
