Embracing the Dark Side

Disney has acquired Lucasfilm and the Star Wars license for a paltry $4 billion. A new movie is already in the works for a 2014 release. Honestly, can they do any worse than the last two movies?

EDIT: Jim Geraghty of National Review, writing in his Morning Jolt e-mail of October 31st:

No one around Lucas has the stature to offer constructive criticism or anything beyond affirmation and keep his job. He's grown all too comfortable with his computer-generated effects and ability to create any environment on a green screen, and thus uses fewer on-location shoots in extreme environments, aiming to create alien landscapes. The actors are left trying to react to imaginary aliens who will be added in computer generated effects, and they end up not blinking, much less reacting, as lightsabers and objects come flying towards their heads.
