100% just marketing, but I still think episode vii is a fantastic new hope remake. I like it more than the original from a quality movie standpoint. and rogue one was brilliantly done. the true star wars war movie we never got.
hopefully jj can deliver on ep ix. i trust him to put the pieces back together after this basura.
Don't get me wrong I apprekiate T.O.S, at the time the original series was the first sci fi film [ barring omega man , let's not pick nits] to show a future society in decay which was really really cool at the time .
