Milking The Franchise - Part II

If you haven't read Part I yet, you can catch up HERE

Well George Lucas has done it again. I've just seen an advert for Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D. I reckon George has spent most of the last 20 years thinking of how he can make more money for the same ideas he's had. What next, a new Ewok TV programme?

Have I just given him an idea?

Milking The Franchise - Part I

We all know it when you see a good film and you want to see them make a sequel because the first was so damn good. The issue I have is with production companies and directors who decide that they will milk the franchise just to make money rather than making good entertainment.

A prime example of the franchise 'milking' is Star Wars. When the original 3 films were released in the late 70's early 80's, everyone applauded how they good they were and how they were a cut above the rest when it came to other movies of the time. Fast forward 20+ years and George Lucas has already released a re-vamped version of the original movies along with an Ewok television programmes. Obviously running short of a few pennies, he decides to make another 3 movies which are in fact prequels to the originals.
