Couldn´t agree more with Ricarleite´s comments there. Lucas has lost his touch without doubt IMO. Once he was a rebel, willing to do creative & risky stuff that was not always politically correct or children friendly. He also had more interesting storytelling ideas, now he has to tell us everything at least twice just so the really young ones get it and there is hardly anything left for the imagination! Plus he is relying to much on CG. Hardly anything get built anymore, nothing has a human touch to it it´s all mindless and unpersonal blue/green screen computer stuff, what a shame! Back then when the old trilogy came out EVERYONE was interested in those moves too, children took their parents along and vice versa, people were so into this, people of all ages. He´s messing with a trilogy of FAR greater quality than his PT (which can only be made right with a SPECTACULAR Episode III). He´s actually adjusting his old brilliant movies which everyone knows and loves to fit better with the new ones when he should be respecting his OT and doing it vice versa, this absolutely puzzles me. Lucas is far more respected and accknowledged as a filmmaker for this original trilogy than he ever is for the PT. He must come to his senses and release the OT on DVD, it´s a part of history that MUST be preserved!

Somebody should remind Lucas of the old saying: "Don´t judge a book by it´s cover". No matter how glossy the cover is, the colours rich and how fine the paper is, it can´t hide what´s inside!

peace,
