He's no longer in many movies so I don't begrudge him snatching a Lucasfilm paycheck. Lucas has admitted to not being the best writer before, Episode IV took him years to perfect. Episode III he did over a weekend, without the aid of Kasdan or Brackett from the classic trilogy - the best of which were'nt even directed by George. He's more CEO than artist now; unspired and greedy. Yeah, I forgot Christopher Lee.

I can only image that at some point late into Lucas' early career that senility had set in and nobody had the heart to tell him or the power to get him diagnosed. Star Wars is supposed to appeal to every one, not just the Gaia online set. Yet with each new installment, it only gets worse to the point that even Magnoliafan has to throw his hands up and proclaim that nothing can be salvaged.

I mean, it's new Star Wars material, I had to go see it. Having said that....yeah, the Cartoon Network stuff was better than this. The story was pretty straightforward, which was fine - nothing integral to Star Wars canon was going to be defined here. It was a story that happened along the way. So I didn't expect much going in. Unfortunately, the animation gave me less than that. The lightsaber duels were particularly painful to watch. Eh. I wanted a Star Wars fix, and I got it. Now, off to go watch Obi-Wan and Anakin duel Count Dooku again. (And Christopher Lee voiced Count Dooku in the film.) I drank the Kool-Aid, too.
