I hope this move is a good one and does live up to the hype, but I don't think Lucas is risking anything. This movie will rake in hundreds of millions dollars no matter how good or bad it is. And if the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones did not hurt Lucas reputation then I don't see how this movie could.
You misunderstand what I mean a bit. We all know that win, lose, or draw Lucas makes the money. Thats not primarily what I was refering to. I was primarily refering to the fact that he would be letting alot of hardcore fans down if the movie doesn't deliver. What would make this even more crushing and contemptable for some would be to do like I said, and hype this movie so bad like it has been that it leaves the audiance unsatisfied.
I honestly believe theres no way this movie is going to fail at any single point. Lucas understands his shortcomings with some of the things in the last two. He realizes just as much as we do how important it is that this movie delivers.
Whether we see it or not, he's his own critic and trys to outdo himself each time, and I think, as far as the prequals are concerned, each one has been better than the one that preceded it, and this one will be no different.
Just the plot alone makes this an action packed, in your face movie.
Remember, its not the setting of the stage, the introduction of the characters, and the starts of the political scheming of The Phantom Menace. Its not the friction between Master and Apprentice, an investigation, and the start of a war like Attack Of The Clones.
This is the end. It is the Revenge Of The Sith, quite literally. The end of a vicious war thats already claimed many, people turning on eachother, more personal violence and betrayal, final confrontations, fights to the death, a coup, and the systematic destruction of the only peace keepers left in the galaxy. Its an all-out purging of the ways of old and the start of something truely evil and perhaps the icing on the cake- the fall of a hero and the unveiling of the true enemy to which all are powerless to stop.
If that doesn't spell automatic fan approval when we've all seen it, then our damn standards are too high and we're being too critical and very unreasonable and would be bitching just to bitch.
Theres no need to hope or have faith this movie will deliver. I know it will. Thats not an opinion, thats a fact.
