This is more than we got from Lucas for the 30th!

Yeah... Did anyone else feel that the whole 30th anniversary just sort of came and went? A couple of TV ads here and there, but not much more, that I saw. Maybe it's because I've been burned by hype so much and had such low expectations of anything LFL does anymore.

Here's my history of Prequel hype:

- Episode I: Huge excitement! I collected the Coke cans, taped everything on TV I could...then I saw the movie. I found the story to be very convoluted and Jar Jar was an idiot. That movie brought my exthusiasm for Star Wars in general down dozens of notches.
- Episode II: Slight excitement and hope that it would be much better than Episode I. I did enjoy it much more, but it's still far from my favorite movie, and second last on the list of favorite Star Wars movies.
- Episode III: Slight interest in seeing Obi-Wan and Vader fight in the lava pits. That's about it. Felt it would be better than the previous two, and I feel it was. Blows TPM out of the water and is a bit better than AotC. Most interest came in seeing the troopers and other designs get closer to the classic designs.

Then at some point, I discovered fan editing and all the wonderful things they've done in restoring the classics and my love of the trilogy, too. :) And the only official thing that I've enjoyed lately is Lego Star Wars. That's great fun.
