Yep. It's really hard to try to work out just what they/he were thinking when they made the PT. Watching some of the extras on the dvd's, you see people talking about how excited they are to be working on the films, and saying stuff like " What I'm really hoping to feel from the audience is that it takes them back to their love of Star Wars". I almost feel sorry for them. They must have been a little taken back by how the films were recieved by critics and fans.

I don't think for an instant they intended to make something that sucked so badly. I think something just got lost in the process. What we ended up with was 6 hours of a promotional advertisment for ILM's effects shop and Georges' digital equipment and software, and nothing in the way of adding meaning or depth to the first three Star Wars films to be made...in fact, quite the opposite.
