Star Wars gets milked dry... again.

Because than people will get thier hopes up that "Oh this is going to be such a great remake!"

than we all pretty much know what happens when you get your hopes up, most of the time it gets shot down.

There are a few exceptions such as "The Dark Knight" with the Joker and also with Godzilla, which was ok, better than the original.

That argument is a contender for "biggest tripe of 2008". If you're bitching about it already, you're obviously not getting your hopes up. You people act like he's changing the story. He's just making it 3D.

And no, they should not/will not do Exar Kun. Lucas has stated several times that he knows nothing about the expanded universe. If he made a movie on Exar Kun, he'd overwrite the current canon and the expanded universe would have to be completely remade. It's not like Lucas to follow someone else's idea. He just licenses them.
