A valid point, but it doesn't avoid the fact that those were novels written by an fairly unknown author, most of whose whose work consisted of Star Wars and Star Trek novels. It was a lack of creativity on the part of one person. This, by contrast, is the biggest film studio in the world intending to strip-mine a science fiction classic and turn it into a franchise (sequels, prequels and spin-offs, oh my!), most likely a terrible one. Not that I think Warner Bros. are necessarily incompetent, but this still represents a terrible lack of creativity on the part of whoever's idea this was. Why not release a new IP?Ghengis John said:I suggest you check out post number 36 in this thread.Anachronism said:Seconded. Both the Vader scream and the sentiment.
