Ah, that is what I thought you meant sir. I am actually dreading seeing the last Hobbit film as I can't even watch the previous two now. Since I do not have to pay to see it, great. As far as other short books being made into an unnecessary stream of endless sequels, agreed. While there were book sequels to Logan's Run, I purposely never sought them out because I felt that was a terrific done-in-one story.
Re: Star Wars, I think they'll have a viable reason for Luke to be included (from the rumors I've read many of those could lead to fun and/or interesting moments of characterization and plot points.)
I've never been big on Han and Leia as a couple (a huge reason why I've barely read any of the SW novels/comics dealing with them), so unless one or more of the young cast are their offspring, I cannot really see a reason for them being included beyond nostalgia and Harrison's wish of killing Han off already.* Ford apparently wanted out after Empire Strikes Back...but...what do I know.
I can't remember if I've read Logan's Run but I saw the movie and liked it. Although a different premise, The Island which is excellent, reminds me of it. For Star Wars I'm in wait and see mode.
Remakes are definitely hit and miss. In most cases I prefer the original, maybe because I have imprinted on them
As I've disliked all of the Star Trek movies prior to latest reboot, I like the Abram's treatment of Star Trek, but am concerned that his involvement will muddle the feel of the Star Wars, but it's all ready been jerked around with Episodes I-III, so there is only one way to go. Bottom line, I don't like it when the movie mogul's desire for max profits interfers with good story telling.
