Here's my point with all this. Remember how people said ROTJ was where the trouble really began? Remember how by the time we got to ROTS they were calling it a Pixar film? I think this simply finishes it off by making it completely CG at last.


So the circle is complete? Thats an interesting way of looking at it. Though there were two Star Wars cartoon series in 1985, but they weren't connected to the series the way this one is.

Here's my point: In 1983 Lucas was saying "I'm never going to do another Star Wars, this is the end and the series has turned out good and been good to me and I hope you all like it as much as I do."
But then he made an Ewok feature film in 1985. Then he made not one but two cartoon series in 1985. Then a year or two later he made another Ewok movie. What the hell happened to "no more Star Wars"? But we shouldn't get our panties in a wad; those old shows you can easily ignore and this one you can too. The truth is there never will be an end to Star Wars, it'll go on forever, and eventually it'll be exhausted and milked to the point where theres nothing more that they can retcon because they've squeezed every possible story angle, and thats when they'll be forced to go back and remake it and start all over. When do you just say "okay, enough, I just like the originals"? You have to, at some point, because it will get to the point I've described here. So the quicker fans come to realise this the easier life will be. Just let go. This is all just mass product. Some of it is good, so take a gander once in a while and see what you like, but most of it will be crap.
