I think this is one of those star wars things that are just aimed for kiddies like the posters said above, us OOTers are not suppose to be interested in it. Of course, Lucasfilm has never had consideration for us and I found the PT to be aimed at the kiddies too.

Yeah, this is why I have sorta moved on from any future SW stuff, as I kinda realized Lucas really isn't making any SW related stuff for older OOT fans like myself anymore.

Now I really don't have a problem with that cause that is the way Lucas wants to take the universe, as he has always catered to a younger base, with the exception of ESB, as that was the last time SW tried to do what The Dark Knight did:  Spoke to an older audience.  And trust me I was there in 1980 as an 8 year old kid, and I really didn't like ESB at the time, cause I thought it was too adult and dark for my tastes.

What I think Lucas is going to realize is that there is always a market for kids, but he is essentially writing off all the fans who grew up with the OOT, and ALL of those fans saw the PT regardless of whether they liked it or not, and the boxoffice numbers will not be as big as Lucas thinks, cause the OOT fanbase created the most popular movie trilogy of alltime.
