It's not just that the PT was lacking, it's just that the whole Star Wars franchise has changed into something quite lame - You just need to look at the whole franchise to see that it is not the same entity that it once was. Hell, just check out Starwars.com, take a look at databank. Take a look at the toys that are being made, take a look at the whole sorry affair and you will see why I don't think a Star Wars TV show, even one with such a cool concept as the one mentioned (Jedi students led by Skywalker) would be all that great. It would be a whole load of flashy fight scenes, midichlorians, cool shiny spaceships and convoluted continuity, which, whatever anyone says, is NOT what Star Wras WAS about. Star Wars was a fairy tale, telling of mystical powers and noble warriors. Now it is just another Sci-Fi show, with endless spin-offs and tie-ins and 'cool' aliens and effects. I don't want to get into the whole 'They are George's Movies' debate, but Star Wars was one thing, and now it is something else, and I believe many will agree with me that the something else is not as good. A TV show would be made now, with the current George Lucas, and therefore I don't think it would be all that great.
Anyway, I really didn't want to get into that, but I can see that you are fairly new here so I just wanted to explain my POV.
Yea, I see your point. It's became more like star trek basically. As far as the toys, the first ones that come to mind are the SW transformers. I'm not really sure why they mixed those two franchises other than for money but at the same time my kids love 'em. But I completely understand your point of view on this and I have to agree. Don't ge me wrong with my post earlier, I definitely prefer the OT to the PT and I was very disappointed with the PT. Out of every slam that I've read on these forums over the past year (I just haven't been posting) I'm sorry to say that the majority I've agreed with.
Anyhow, thanks for clearing up your point.
