It certainly has potential. If they can avoid the juvenile dialogue that plagued the prequels it could be great. My main gripe about the prequels was not what was missing but what's there. I'm not expecting Mamet or Tarantino dialogue, though. With Hamill and Ford (and John Williams) returning I'm sure it will be a blast. What a sense of humor you have. All dramatists and most actors understand that Tarantino writes the worst dialog in history. Every word is expository, declarative and bombastic; no subtext, no emotional range to underpin the words. Not to mention infantile. A few misinformed individuals think he's cool, as if being cool was the basis of good writing, but being cool is a juvenile thing at best, and in the hands of Tarantino, being cool is redundant, pretentious and tiresome. Hamill and Ford are supporting characters, not the stars, in fact Ford's scenes come to an abrupt end early in the film. Fisher is a supporting player as well. The stars of the film who play the leading characters are much younger. I don't trust J.J. Abrams and I wish he had no involvement. The new film and new series may or not be great. Certainly they are films to look forward to. But nothing will ever top the original STAR WARS (1977). It was a milestone.

Tarantino writes some of the best dialogue in the film world, without question! The scene with Landa and the family in BASTERDS, for example, is absolutely sublime. If that means I'm 'uninformed', according to Richard W, I'll bear that badge with HONOUR! As per the question in...well, question, there's no way to know. I'll save my value judgement untill I've seen the film. It very well may be the best. Boring answer, I know, but there you have it.

Of course the new movie will be the best (if you go by box-office numbers) and the one after that will even be better. For the accountants that's what counts, for the fans it surely depends on your age and when you've been introduced to the whole franchise. What is J.J. offering? So far it seems to be (for me) nostagia with present day special effects. I hope it won't be limited to that...
