   The Star Wars franchise (as well as the other Lucasfilm franchise like   
   Indiana Jones) should have been given over, under watertight legal red   
   tape, to the stewardship of Rick McCallum and others already within the   
   Lucasfilm franchise.

   *Only* if those movies, novels, etc. actually fit with the established   
   franchise. Some new moron(s) going off making huge changes to suit   
   themselves is not wanted by any real fan of any franchise. Such things   
   simply create a complete mess of the franchise.   
      
   JJ Abrams claims to be a fan of Star Wars, and yet in other franchises   
   we have already seen so-called "fans" produce ill-fitting rubbish full   
   of their own silly ideas of what that franchise "should be" rather than   
   sticking to what the franchise actually is.

   Apparently that is wrong since George Lucas was reportedly already   
   working on a sequel Trilogy before he sold out to Disney.   
      
   No Star Wars ever again is much better than ill-fitting rubbish that   
   confuses and destroys the franchise.
