Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Frankly, Jar Jarr Binks, Hayden Christensen, and the writing/direction set the bar so low in the prequels that the new Star Wars movie would likely approach average. That is, guessing blindly, one would expect an average product.

They're doing more than one movie a year with Marvel, so it's doable. Granted, Iron Man 2 got pushed out of the oven too quick.

Damn fucking right !!This just in:
It's the lens flare that makes it legit.
that was fucking great
sequels suck 99.5 times out of 100. why would anyone expect anything different here? this is just a total cash grab, and because the younger generation will pay to watch just about anything hollywood shits out, this doesn't surprise me. i hope george lucas burns in hell. absolutely zero integrity from about 1990 on.
It's impossible to be a cash grab when you just dropped several billions buying everything. You need to make a good product so you can turn a profit.
I suppose it depends on the definition of "good product." A turd could be a good product if marketed well and, inexplicably, 18-25 year olds buy it. Value is relative and no object possesses intrinsic value. Transformers, Da Vinci Code, Twilight, etc. did not make a lot of money because they were, subjectively, good movies. The whole machine behind them helped create the illusion of them being good products and they raked in the cash. That said, I would be surprised if the sequels were not average, if not above average, in general quality. It's not as if the originals were masterpieces without aid of rose-tinted glasses.
It's not like they can make one shit movie and sit backand recoup. They need to make several good movies, especially after the prequels, just to make their money back.
