Actually I found a correlation between Star Wars and lack of suckitude to be the ammount of direct involvment George Lucas had. Of the original trilogy most fans agree that Empire Strikes Back was the best and Return of the Jedi was the worst, Empire was the installment of the movie franchise with the least direct input from Lucas while RotJ much much more.

Also, the original Clone Wars animated shorts were Awesome (not to mention explained Anakin's fall from grace through metaphoric cave-paintings far more effectively than Revenge of the Sith did IMO), these were made pretty-much by Gennedy Tatroznsky almost all on his own with minimal attention from Lucas. The new 'in-house' Lucasart CG Clone Wars franchise? ..not so much.

Hollywood is clearly going to focus on sex and action in the Star Trek movie and ignore any kind of plot or moral theme to ponder, like they do for all movies now.

Young Han/Chewie's been done as books. Young Lando has been sort of done. Well, the period of time approximately from getting the Falcon to sometime before losing it.

As for the Star Trek trailer, all I can say is "Big Gay Star Trek(not that there's anything wrong with that)"

Heading off to see Bond tomorrow night, so I’ll pass on the spoilers – but I have to say, the Young Chewy/Han/Lando idea is quite cool!

We all speculate about what a cinematic necrophiliac George Lucas is, but if half the stuff in the “bonus features” included with the Indiana Jones IV disc are true, it’s much worse than we think. He wanted to make it – even cheezier.

I saw, in one documentary or another, that Han Solo was supposed to stay dead. At one point Harrison Ford insisted that he stayed dead, but Lucas overruled him and due to contractual stuff Ford had to come back.
