EDIT: For the record, I'm interested in all of those listed.  ;)

I think the next movie I am looking forward to is probably Star Wars Episode VII.  Or maybe the next Harry Potter movie.
All the ones you listed sound stupid.

any actual support for Episode VII, or just a general wish?

i'd probably say the movie i'm looking foward too the most would be Hitman 47, however it will probably suck...just like a number of movies based on video games have sucked...(i.e: that mario movie from the 1990's, just WOW)

I want to see that new movie that's made the actors resemble a form of cartoon. As soon as the commercials come on again, I'll tell you what it is. I was always a comic book fan as I was growing up, and it was with great anticipation I had waited for each and every superhero movie made. I still do as a matter of fact...I'm tired of feeling let down at the end. It wa rare that ever happened in a comic book which almost never finished the story in one go..

btw...the percentages are still fucked.

George is kinda wishywashy on the issue - for awhile, he was saying that he was going to do a third trilogy, but lately, he has been saying that he won't.  Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamil are getting up there in years, and Alec Guiness won't be appearing as Master Ben any time soon.  So the prospects for something good are somewhat bleak.  But I'm such a sucker I'd probably go see them anyway, even if they sucked ass.

I thought they were fucked up too but Lead Head (on IM) pointed out that it's a multi-choice poll.


Yea, I felt like a dumbass too.

lol i don't see what the issue w/percentages is, but ok...
and yeah lucas goes back and forth, i'd like to see the proposed "12 movie star wars" series, that expands both the thrawn trilogy and the DE trilogy, but there's a lot of continuity problems that'd have to be rewritten out to make thrawn work...imo just f that series (it felt short when I read it, DE felt long enough to make a movie or two)

oh well...if they get made they'd have a few problems, lol, who knows, give him another 5 or 6 years and Pierce Brosnan might be master ben

I read a lot, and I'll read almost anything.  So far, in my life, there have only been 2 things that I have started reading and put down never to pick up again.  The first was "Emma" by Jane Austen - only three pages of that was enough to put me right to sleep.  Could it be more boring?  Only if it was filled with blank pages.  The second was some Star Wars extended universe novel.  It was written back before Ep1, I can't recall the title or subseries or whatever.  I just recall that it was the most poorly written piece of trash I have ever laid my eyes on.  After only a couple paragraphs, I felt like a 7th grade English teacher who has just read The Worst Term Paper Ever.  Really, it was BAAAAAAAAD, awful, and whatever other synonyms there are.  I imagine there are some Star Wars fans who are hungry enough for more story that they can look beyond this corporate drugstore novel bullshit, but I can't.  It's like somebody whipped up a Windows 3.1 batch program that writes its own novel, once it reads a list of characters from a textfile.  Even Stephen King, the lord of mass-market trash paperbacks, is probably embarrassed to be on the shelves in the same section of the bookstore as that shit.

That being said, I can see how LucasCorp might have a hard time coming up with decent material for another trilogy or two.
