Shawn Chambers, Bethalto, Major Archaeology — “If they do it right, it could be good; if they stay true to the story but I’m worried because George Lucas isn’t directing it. It could go either way.”
Melissa Scaturro, Edwardsville, Major: Criminal Justice — “I haven’t seen Star Wars.”
Nathan Marcrum, Alton, Major:undecided (also not sure if Associates in arts or science.) — “ I would say I’m skeptical because George Lucas isn’t involved. I also don’t like the idea of bringing back the old actors.”
Nathan Sykes, Edwardsville, Associates in Science — “ Disney owning Star Wars, they can’t go wrong. I mean look at Frozen. They also did the Avengers. At the end of the day you have to rely on the writers.”
Jacob Lively, Bethalto, Major: Exercise Science — “Sounds like a money grab like a typical Disney movie.
Nathan Badman, Alton, Major: Elementary Education — “Well it’s just another way to get money for Disney. I think if it’s animated it will be terrible. You can’t change an original.”
George Brewer, Alton, (said he was doing generals, didn’t know which program) — “It’s great they’re making sequels. I think Disney is evil. They’re fascists. It’ll be exciting to see Han Solo and the Fettman.”
Brandon Burke, St. Louis, Major: Biomedical engineering — “ I’m okay with that so long as they make it interesting and not go off the tracks from the original storyline, if they don’t add that ‘Disney touch.’”
