That's true. Urgh.Not mistaken, but also not true. All of the lore that backed up this statement was thrown out the window by Disney.
It was good VS evil, that's true, but the storytelling was a class above what Abrams is capable of. He'll write it incredibly childishly, whereas the original trilogy was clever and imaginative, even if it was simple. JJ will create a trilogy which has far more in common with Episodes 1-3. Terrible dialog, for one.The OT was incredibly straight forward. Jedi vs. Sith/ Good vs. Evil. If we are being honest with ourselves the movies werent thought provoking lessons in nuance. The OT was pretty much straight action wrapped around an amazing story, something which is pretty much right down Abrams ally.
Oh I wasn't saying they should base a move on one of those stories, I was just saying to take inspiration from what made those stories great.Bane is by far my favorite SW character, and I agree Him or Traya would make for excellent movies, but not for continuing the saga. (Left Revan out because I truly cant stand him.) Those stories dont really show us what happens with the Empire. (IE are the rebels going to be able to seize control? Will the galaxy be thrown into something similar to the "Thrawn Era" from the EU?) Those questions need to be answered to setup the climate for the additional movies Disney plans releasing. (Because so far the plan is to do the same with the SW Universe as is being done with the Marevel one.)
