You sound so surprised………

Seriously. How the fuck can this guy be so out of touch from his audience? Star Trek managed to run itself into obscurity by catering too heavily to the zit faced virgin fanboys, yet Star Wars is actually managing to do the same thing, by going for some type of broad appeal that no one asked for. How do you fix star wars at this point? You let it sit dormant for a few years, then announce a new movie set in a time period not touched by any of the current canon. Doing so eliminates 85% of preconceived expectations. Let it be directed and handled by someone who cares enough to make a movie for the fans.

Has there been a Star Wars venture that has ever LOST Lucasfilm money? Probably not, right? Well, that's why the Star Wars universe will never be left alone.

If the show is just a 30 minute version of the bits that the Robot Chicken guys do on their show, it will be pretty funny. If it's a cutsie weirdo cartoon, I won't know because I won't watch it, as it will be for little kids. But, Lucas may be involved in it at first, and then after the first few shows, he'll pass control onto the writers.

While the first Clone Wars that was shown at theaters wasn't great–I rented it after watching the show on T.V.–the show Clone Wars is actually pretty good. I mean, I went into it figuring that that too was probably aimed at little kids and it turns out that it's actuallly entertaining. Now if they would have made their CGI characters look less puppet like, and more realistic then it would be better. But it seems that once the show got going, Lucas left it up to the writers to do their own thing. He started out involved–that's probably why there was an annoying tween main character. But now that tween isn't as annoying, getting older, and may even end up dead by the end of the series.

Who gives a shit? It's over, geeks. The Star Wars dream died way back in May of 1999. It's time to move on.

You guys do realize that anything and everything "Star Wars" is made for kids, right? This is all for the little ones.

You knob. Really. You complete knob.

the diehards and even the casual fans will eat it whatever is branded with the Star Wars name. The property is a cash cow and isn't at all the sacred property that we all assumed it would be. Having said that, I think the family guy and robot chicken star wars spoofs are at best a diversion, meanwhile the Clone Wars on Cartoon Network is probably the best thing LucasFilm has been a part of in the last 20 years. BTW your verifcation system for these comments suck. And what's even more funny is the code for the third try was "eeksex" LOL

If you don't like it, then don't watch it. Doesn't appeal to me one bit, but it doesn't tarnish the Star Wars image or brand. It must drive you haters nuts to blast everything that the man does since the late 70's and early 80's to only see it continue to stay popular. And the verification does suck.

Jedi is great, you stinky dick sucker.

The Clone Wars show is pretty good (the movie sucked hard though). It gets kind repetitive after a while and the Thunderbirds puppet character design is a little off putting but it has everything you wanted from the Prequels but you didn't get.

I don't know about the sitcom. I can always not watch it.

As the guy in the link explains, these are kids movies, so don't get all worked up if they start going after a younger demographic.

"The onslaught of endless subpar tie ins and merchandise doesn't retroactively ruin the original trilogy" – I don't know about this. The continual financial reward of endlessly fucking with the larger storyline will end up with the OT re-done as 3D Avatar CGI top-to-bottom, retconned to absolute cuntspew. And Lucas has proven he's more than happy to deny access to the originals in favor of the "revised" works.

I want a properly restored Original Trilogy set on fucking Blu Ray and I don't want no goddamn CGI dance sequences or Hayden "Anakin in Name Only" Panettiere or Greedo shooting first in there, and I don't want no goddamn photoshopped floating head cover inserts, I want classic artwork, and I WANT THEM SHITS IN A TIMELY FASHION. Got that, Lucas?!?! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO WITHHOLD THIS. Criterion needs to stage a heist on Skywalker Ranch and steal the original film canisters.

Your angry nerd-shticks are always funny, folks. Because it is a shtick, right?

Wait a minute, so Devin you're saying you don't even like the Return of the Jedi one? It sounds like you're saying you only like 2 out of 6 of these movies and haven't liked any of them in 30 years. If that's the case it seems to me like maybe something like that isn't worth getting worked up about as often as you do, bud. I mean you were, what, 8 or 9? To me it just doesn't seem like it's worth all the energy you guys expend on it.

I don't remember Chewbacca being a southpaw

Fuck it, it's over. Been over for a long time.

I hated the prequels (well, the first two; I skipped the third one) but I really don't understand the notion that the shitty spin-offs of the original trilogy somehow ruins them. I've found that I actually appreciate SW, TESB, and RotJ even more than before.

Ok, about fell out of my chair when I read this.. "Hayden "Anakin in Name Only" Panettiere"… Thanks for the laugh 14.. 🙂

Will it be like Muppet Babies only with Star Wars characters? I dunno, but, some might say foolishly, I still have a lot of Star Wars love in my heart. The Robot Chicken SW DVDs have been funny, the Clone Wars is a very good animated series – so carry Lucas. This is your baby, and whether people like the output or not, it IS fascinating to watch the Star Wars legacy and brand continues to change, evoke, evolve and, yes, still entertain.
