HAY GUYS

Ditto to all the above. Regarding the acting, he had a solid cast. Even Hayden Christensen is a fine actor who apparently surprised critics with the movie 'Shattered Glass'. He had people like Natalie Portman, Ewan Mcgregor and Christopher Lee. Only a incompetant director like Lucas can give them crappy direction. (Remember the old trilogy? "Faster, more intense" was his constant direction.) Not to mention it must have be REALLY hard to act infront of blue screen 99% of the time

While the cast of LOTR can sit on top of Edoras and FEEL the movie, the cast of Star Wars are playing pretend with a dungeon master who has no idea what the hell he's talking about, while surrounded by green.

Lucas needs to stop MAKING the movies and let someone ELSE take over.

So what is this big announcement?

Agreed; and as atrocious as EP. II was, I was more personally offended by Ep. III.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Lucas took what was, essentially a great homespun yarn (culled together from many other sources, of course) that never took itself so seriously (Han Solo was a great foil in that regard), and turned it into a bunch of pretentious drivel in a poorly scripted/filmed package.
To his credit though, the prequels made LOTS of money.

Maybe he'll announce that he's doing a prequel to Howard the Duck.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was going to watch the History channel special on SW last night, then realized I'd rather have a hot poker jammed in my eye than listen to any sort of pontification over EPS. 1-3.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I like the Timothy Zahn series (featuring Admiral Thrawn and Joruus C'baoth), a great deal, but of course, it'd be pretty much impossible to translate those to screen.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
