I like how he claims that no one in the fanbase had any complaints about the cause for Anakin's turn being love for his wife. Um, I'm raising my hand! Can't you see me? It's as frustrating as being in class, knowing the answer to a problem, but the teacher refuses to call on you!
And, lo and behold, it turns out that the TV series is going to be a convenient little loop hole for them to rectify all the plot holes they should have dealt with in the movies. "What about Ben and Owen?" "Um, we'll deal with it in the TV series." How much you want to bet that there'll be an episode where a 4 year old Leia has a Force-induced dream of Padme, waking up to say, "My mother is very kind, but sad."
Pathetic.

It is funny cause McCallum first instinct was right about the hardcore fans not buying 'doing it all for love'
It is so funny how times have changed for me, 5 years ago, if this article was posted I would be salivating about some SW news, I would always enjoy reading McCallums & Lucas' quotes about the saga, now everytime I read it I just get annoyed and could care less about the TV show and their revisionism on the last 6 movies. The biggest insult was when McCallum said, "The TV shows will be more character driven." Huh, wasn't the prequels about a character who falls from grace to become the 2nd most evil person in the galaxy?
I will be honest the only reason I read this article was maybe the slightest hint of talk about the O-OT. I think Lucas knows if he releases it, every older fan from the OT won't care about SW anymore, so he has to keep our interest that anytime he talks we waiting for those special words, "I am please to announce the O-OT on DVD....."
We will reply, Thank you George, now put a nail in the coffin.
