    I legitimately think George Lucas was good at making Star Wars movies but I'm not resentful. It was a fun ride but now it's over, he's moved on. And I am looking forward to VII, it's something to anticipate. We'll never have a fantasy film as densely layered as TPM ever again, or a trilogy as strange/beautiful as the PT, or an animated series like TCW. But it's there, on the shelf, whenever I want to revisit it.

    I don't understand how the man who created Star Wars can be accused of not making good Star Wars movies. By his very position as the creator of Star Wars, his work is the definition of what Star Wars is. If somebody doesn't like the movie (or the change to the movie), that’s fine by me (provided they can form a coherent, thoughtful argument to back the opinion.) But the claim “George Lucas doesn’t make good Star Wars,” doesn’t even make sense. A more logical explanation would be that the person making such a claim “doesn’t like Star Wars,” even if they think they do. Liking half of a franchise (or less) doesn’t really amount to “fan,” by any definition of the term.

    My sentiments exactly. I believe Episode VII is much further down the line than a lot of people are speculating. Lucas probably had in his mind a good 80-90% of ideas set for the new trilogy and as you said this is no doubt documented by him. This film will be out in 2015. I have no doubts about that and I think they are at the stage now where they are finalising the team to actually put this movie together. It is perfectly feasible that the story is more or less complete.
