Last week an ad agency in Portland made some waves with a video and petition called "Dear J.J. Abrams." Its goal: to lay down four "rules" of Star Wars for J.J. Abrams, director of the still-untitled Star Wars Episode VII (2015). The aim was to collect a million signatures, which it would present to Disney.

The rules were essentially aimed at the three prequel movies, Episodes I through III, where George Lucas did four things the video maker didn't like: put forth much of the action in an urban setting, made that setting and its ships look shiny and new, offered a new understanding of the Force, and had a variety of "cute" characters. Naturally, that didn't sit well with fans of the prequels.

Joining me in a live Google Hangout to discuss the issues raised by the video: its maker, Prescott Harvey, senior producer at the agency Sincerely Truman, and Bryan Young, a filmmaker and blogger for StarWars.com, The Huffington Post and Big Shiny Robot.

The Hangout starts here at 3:15 p.m. ET — and like Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back, we would be honored if you would join us.

In the meantime, here's a reminder of those four "rules":
