Whipped Cream Difficulties

…there are plans in place for not one but three new “Star Wars” movies, the first of which will arrive in theaters in 2015. Lucas, however, will only serve as a “creative consultant” and will not write or direct.

I don’t think Disney is going to have the courage to do what I’d like to see in the last three movies: follow the Rebel Alliance as it takes power and tries to govern, watch the compromises they make to hold the Alliance together and maintain power…

…and, at the very end of the last movie, force the audience to come to the realization that the Rebel Alliance is now completely indistinguishable from the Empire they were rebelling against. Ideally, by having Princess Leia execute Han Solo as a traitor to the revolution. For extra bonus points, have Luke Skywalker gunned down while trying to lead a revolution on another planet in the system, and young people in the new Empire wearing his image on shirts.

What? Me? Cynical? Never!
