Lancelot Link: Let's Bash STAR WARS!

Lancelot Link Monday! You would think that THE FORCE AWAKENS was all about Jar Jar Binks from the backlash against the film. Though I think it has all kinds of problems - most of the same problems that other J.J.Abrams movies have - but is still enjoyable and much better than those three prequels. Which is why I don't understand why there is some movement to get Lucas to direct the next film in the series. I mean, WTF? If you could get the Lucas from STAR WARS and AMERICAN GRAFFITI that would be fine, but unless you have a time machine and some cloroform, we'd just end up with more endless scenes where the Senate discusses taxes like in the prequels. I think the best bet is to switch it up - and let someone else direct (Colin Trevorrow is currently signed). Remember how good EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was *without* Lucas? Though Trevorrow seems to have the same "original film sampling problem" as Abrams... is there anyone in Hollywood who will fight for originality? While you're thinking about that, here are this week's links to some great screenwriting and film articles, plus some fun stuff that may be of interest to you. Brought to you by that suave and sophisticated secret agent...
