Tom Hoeler at Chud.com asks, "Can Star Trek Save Star Wars?" Excerpt below:

"George...I mean...Mr. Lucas, if you are reading this please, consider the lesson.

Let someone else make a Star Wars film. This wouldn't even be uncharted territory. The best of the Star Wars films wasn't even directed by you (Empire Strikes Back). You don't need to fade away into the ether; just step aside and let someone else help you realize your vision. Someone like...Joss Whedon perhaps?

Collaborate on a story, guide him in the right direction as far as the concepts and rules of the Star Wars universe are considered; but then let him go. He and others grew up loving this franchise and can help take it in the right direction."







Star Wars ranks #10 on Moviefone's list of the best movies of the '70s. (Thanks Tom!)
