Simon Pegg is at it again. He just can't seem to help himself running down the prequels. In an interview with Total Film
"What will he bring to the franchise? Everything that was missing from the last three."That's what he did to Star Trek, really - invigorate it with a little bit of Star Wars magic. He switched it from science fiction to science fantasy.
"And I think if anyone can pull [Star Wars] out of the mire, it's JJ. He'll bring the fun back. Lucas seemed to misread what made the first ones great, and concentrate on things that people didn't really care about, or wilfully ignore the things that people cared about. Whereas JJ will embrace them all."
Its amazing that even though he has always expressed his dislike for the Star Wars prequels and continues to, he managed to get work on The Clone Wars (set in the prequel universe) and expresses his interest in appearing in the new Star Wars movies. Maybe he should concentrate more on his performance as Scotty in the Star Trek movies which even though Into Darkness was practically perfect, the weakest point as with the 2009 movie is Pegg's Scotty.
