   If he ruins Star Wars like he ruined Star Trek, some people will still hire him to direct stuff.

   Nah… I liked J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek.(though enough with the shaky cam and glare!)
   I don.t really care if someone messes with the source material .. .just tell me a good story!

   At least JJ can have dialogue written that isn’t the insipidly childish drivel that Lucas and Speilberg toss out — like marginal notes of teenage boys in their school workbooks. Such crap! That was what did in Star Wars — total lack of realistic dialogue for the situation. But then the writing was for the kid audience to start with.

   Still don’t understand why Joss Whedon wasn’t given a shot. He only made a billion dollars for Marvel. And he can write and direct.

   Are we talking about the same person who directed those wacky Airplane! and The Naked Gun! movies?

   I said my piece about this yesterday, so I think I shall exercise my option to tune out the rest of this week’s strips.

   I love George Lucas but can I say three words, “Howard the Duck”. I thought that J. J. Abrams version of Star Trek rocked. I just think it is funny how Disney is going to milk Star Wars for all it is worth.

    re: Don Boyer

    the dialogue in Star Trek was terrible. I’ve known high schoolers that could write better material.

    Star Wars has been ruined since “Return of the Jedi”.

    I don’t have anything against J.J. I will reserve judgement until I see the Star Wars movie. However, I agree with Jeffc42. After what Joss Whedon did with Firefly, I think he could have brought Star Wars to an amazing place.
