An interesting question. There are so many movies re-made for new generations of movie go-ers and many are quite good. If a story is good enough for a film from the 50's, 60's and such, bringing them to the screen in a contemporary setting, if done well, could make for quality viewing. This makes me look at my years when I see movies re-made or re-imagined that I remember seeing the original first run. Batman is the one I'm refering to, and as much as I've enjoyed the entire run, (1 - 3 anyway), I have to say Batman Begins is a masterfully written, performed, and played out film, one of my favourite of all time movies. Most re-made films are of a single story nature, though, that could be told in two hours or less, while Star Wars is a saga of a story that could and should be expanded, not re-imagined. But in a 100 years, who knows? The unique thing about Star Wars is that it's one of the most timeless series of films because of no time reference in it to compare, or feel the need to update, to fit another generation. Also, the historical impact of these movies might be enough for future generations to respect and not re-tell such a timeless classic. Time will tell...
