I just don't want Star Wars to be ruined, since the release of all that clone wars cartoon crap, for the first time in my life i actually feel a slight embarassment of being a star wars fan. Star Wars will go from being a classic that inspires children to just a poorly made money grab.
I accept the prequels, I don't think they are nearly as good as the original, but hell, they are their, they are what they are. I would never watch them nearly enough as the original trilogy, but I don't mind an occasional viewing. They are flawed in many ways though.
But give me a break with all this cartoon, computer animated crap. Star Wars was a classic adventure story about a young hero on a quest, who meets a princess, befriends a scoundrel/rogue and has a wise old teacher. We don't need a action cartoon to show us useless mindless action.
I know people were saying all of this **** during 1999, and then even more at 2005, but I'll be saying it until Lucas stops. I can't concieve why he is doing this. (Oh wait, yeah I can...$$$$$$$$).
I'll be there next year, 2012, at the midnight IMAX 3D screening of The Phantom Menace, and I'll be their for the release of the following movie each consecutive year. Hell, I'll probably even buy the Blu-Ray set...I don't even mind the changes as long as they don't change the story or cram even more useless CGI **** on the screen...
I support Star Wars..but the media that has been released since RoTS hasn't been Star Wars, Star Wars was a movie that took all of Lucas's effort and strenght to get done..this is just crap that took Lucas's lust for more money...
I give up
