Snyder to Reshoot Star Wars?

ignorance

 

Knowing what we know now makes this an insanely creepy picture, doesn’t it?

But I can’t say I blame the poor guy.  Carrie Fisher was hot back in the day.

In other news, it’s just been announced that 300 and Watchmen director Zack Snyder is going to remake George Lucas’ beloved Star Wars trilogy, known as A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, respectively.

Here’s what the bearded one had to say about the project:

“To be honest, Zack wasn’t always my first choice,” Lucas told a crowd of skeptical journalists and fans. “But I feel he can really 300 up the project.”

Lucas went on, “The original trilogy is really lacking in terms of cohesiveness, writing, and overall story structure. I just didn’t have the time then to do what I did with episodes 1, 2 and 3 which represent the true intended Star Wars universe.”

“Quite frankly, and I know a lot of people won’t want to hear this, but I find the episodes 4-6 to be somewhat boring when compared to episodes 1-3. I just have never felt totally satisfied with this franchise and I think the fans know that.”

Sign me up!

Oh, and Happy April Fools Day!

    Thing is, I can totally see Lucas greenlighting this project anyway. I have a feeling he made a bet with some friends back in ’75 to see if he could create movies that will categorize him as a genius, and then how many times he would have to shit in his own bed before he had no respect left at all.
