And that article made me gag....I mean, I can see Lucas's reasoning on making TPM for kids to an extent because the OOT was, to an extent, for kids, but was just as much for kids as it was for adults. He should have approached TPM the same way. I mean, Star Wars was loved by kids of all sex, age and race, but it had charecters directed squarely at children. So why should TPM have needed it? Plus, when making seqeuls or prequels that come out years after the original, you want to capture the same audience that watched the originals, not rope in a new batch of kids and shun all your original fans. This article is the only bit of proof you'd ever need to show anyone Lucas is a hack. If the OT worked for all ages, then why not use the same formula for TPM, instead of shunning adult viewers and getting kids to like it, which they will until....oh, I'd say 12 years old, maximum. This is why the prequels will not be remembered in film history. Only kids and man children like Go-Mer will enjoy them, and all (except Go-Mer) will grow out of them, but love the OT eternally. Lucas sold his soul just to make a quick buck. How Wude.
