jedimasterbac posted:Things change, yes, but there's still a difference between that and a re-imagining. For example, Chris Nolan didn't remake Tim Burton's Batman and just change a few things around. He completely re-imagined the entire series. The same thing goes for Halloween and Casino Royale.
jedimasterbac posted:Just to bump this up since the new thread was locked and directed here, I'll say what I said in the aforementioned thread. With me, I guess it would come down to how we are going to define "remake". If it's an actual remaking of the films without many differences, I don't know how I'd feel about that mainly because it seems unoriginal. On the other hand, if it went the route of a reboot or re-imagining like Batman Begins/The Dark Knight or Casino Royale/Quantum of Solace then I would be very much in favor of it. Star Wars is starting to get a little stale and boring in terms of what is being released these days, and as seen with the Batman and Bond reboots it can really inject some fresh blood into faltering franchises. Even if it was a failure, it doesn't do any damage to the original films, as they are still there. And just to point out, if there was to be a reboot, I would want the ENTIRE series rebooted, not just the Classic Trilogy.

My main problem, as I posted in the locked thread, is that a reboot that DIDN'T retool production design would be pointless, yet a ship called Millennium Falcon that doesn't look like this: would not, IMO, be Star Wars at all.
