I see your point to a degree, but it's likely going to happen. And given the size of the Star Wars Universe, maybe it can take that.CoGro wrote:I want the Star Wars saga to have a beginning, middle and an end, not just be a run of a mill summer blockbuster franchise that gets sequeled to death.
Genuinely - I think exactly the opposite. I'm delighted at how much seems new but familiar - a real feeling of 'next chapter' for me.CoGro wrote:The more of Episode VII I see, the less I believe it will have deep connective tissue to the arc of the first six episodes.
