I am too young to have enjoyed a Star Wars-type teenage life. I do enjoy the originals though, and I have only watched the Phantom Menace since the revival began years ago. I hate the way George Lucas has catered to the kids of the 90s instead of making it seem more "original". That's open to debate of course. Why do I say this?
Because quite simply, I think Hitchhiker's is going to BLOW AWAY anything Lucas manages to screw up. Honestly, I think it's what the world has been waiting for in this type of movie genre.
For those of who who don't know already, most of the radio shows and older visual recreations have contradictions that you can drive a Mac truck through, which means do not raise your expectations to an astronomical level. In that case, you will be disappointed in that the story might veer off in certain places.
Let's not forget to mention that the movie studio has to cater to the majority of moviegoers. From what I have read though, Douglas Adams' family has had very close contact with most of the cast and crew and have made sure that the vision and 90-95% of the story remains intact.
I can't wait!
