Yes, yes it can. I'll point out that Tolkien specifically didn't want Disney near his shit because ...
I recognize his [Walt Disney's] talent, but it has always seemed to me hopelessly corrupted. Though in most of the 'pictures' proceeding from his studios there are admirable or charming passages, the effect of all of them to me is disgusting. Some have given me nausea...

I don't want it going from the Lucas toilet just to get swirlied in the Disney communal latrine.

It could turn a profit, like "The Avengers." Or it could cost an exec his job, like "John Carter." The former had a fuckload of material to draw from the comics books that've been out for decades, coupled with a feature film for each of the superheroes.GORDON wrote:Like someone said... they can't do any worse with it. I am literally incapable of being disappointed by what Disney does to Star Wars.
Could they get ideas from the Star Wars literature? Yeah. Not quite the same as going from Marvel for source material, though. Still wondering how they're going to have the Jedi not be whining pussies and instead turn them into compelling protagonists, not pseudo-Buddhist pacifists. The Empire hunted a lot of them down and exterminated them. Maybe it's time to change your philosophy, Flanders.

No doubt merely symbolic.
What I find interesting is that light saber in conjunction with identification as evil. Looks like they might be delving into the Expanded Universe for #7, which would be a wise choice on their part.

Maybe. I firmly believe there are writers stupid enough to try.

Hmm, you have a point. The Sith typically run with red.

I hope that Arndt and Abrams have the nuts to tell Lucas to fuck off when he starts to try to screw up the script. Which he will inevitably do.
Although I'm disappointed they're going to ditch the entire Expanded Universe. There's some good stuff in there it would be a shame to waste.
