The director of 'Avatar' says there's one major flaw in the new 'Star Wars' movie
James Cameron and George Lucas became celebrity filmmakers around the same time. Inspired by Lucas's "Star Wars," Cameron made "The Terminator." Cameron later made "Titanic" when Lucas made his "Star Wars" prequels, then topped himself with "Avatar."
The two filmmakers, as you can imagine, are geeky friends. And since J.J. Abrams took over the Star Wars franchise with "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" last year, James Cameron has opinions.
In an interview with Hannah Litchfield (via Indiewire), Cameron talked about an issue he had with Abrams' take on the franchise:
Cameron doesn't think the new movies has the same "imagination" as the first six Star Wars films, when Lucas was in charge.
"Avatar 2" through "Avatar 5" are scheduled for release between Christmas 2018 and Christmas 2023.
