That inbred overgrown ewok (aka - george lucas) has become so completely fascinated with all the new technologies involved in special effects that he has forgotten what made Episodes 4-6 so great: He had to dream up NEW ways of doing things, new ideas, new visual effects, which made them revolutionary and sensational. Add that to the fact that he has completely sold out, and pays more attention to the marketing of stupid redundant shit (I think there are now more pod racer video games than there are Rocky movies, and arent there like 19 of those?) and the star wars name has lost its golden glamour. Lucas took a good thing and fucked it up the ass, broke its spirit, then whored it out on the street to milk it for every last dime. Amazingly, the hard core fans are still loyal, and give him the faith and support he is so undeserving of.
And just for introducing a character like jar jar binks, with that brain damaged jamaican accent, lucas should have his head dunked in the toilet from Trainspotting.
