Back to Future for 'Star Wars'

Excerpt:

Now that it's official that "Star Wars" 7, 8 and 9 are in the works, plenty of hardcore fans are chiming in about the future of the franchise. The Walt Disney Co. (the parent company of ABC News) announced Tuesday that it had acquired Lucasfilm, the company behind the hugely successful "Star Wars" movie series, from founder George Lucas for $4. 05 billion in stock and cash. Along with news of the deal came the announcement that the seventh feature in the series would be scheduled for 2015, with new films coming every two or three years after that. "I'm doing this so the films will have a longer life, so that more fans and people can enjoy them in the future," Lucas said in a YouTube video posted Tuesday by the official Star Wars website.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
