Yeah, they maintain some sort of standards that need to be met. Like Pixar movies. Many people have high expecations for them because of what quality they've shown in the past, and there's nothing wrong with that. If I or anyone expects more from lucas because he's delivered ten fold on it in the past, then, years later, doesn't with his jar jar infested prequels, we won't lynch his majesty, but rant and complain adnauseum. Personally, I'd admire Lucas even more than I did upon first viewing of his classic work if the new movies didn't trip and bumble all over themselves like the three stooges.

I showed the original trilogy to my older sister and she was absolutely captivated by the creativity, characters, the mystery and revelations throughout all three. I show her the new trilogy, she fell asleep during episode 1, so I skipped episode 2 since it was even more of a sleeping pill IMO, and we watched episode 3 (er... don't ask how please). She said, "This is stupid."

Honestly... I'd rather she had at least said, "eh, it's ok." Then I remembered Yoda's tearful goodbye to Chewbacca and replied, "yeah, this is stupid."

EDIT: Oh she enjoyed the Clone War cartoon though. I chuckle sometimes at how a story done in three and twelve minute intervals is more enjoyable than one that's approximately 6 hours, featuring work by some of the BEST talent in the industry. Lol what's up with that?
