Here's some interesting info from BoxofficeMojo.com

 Clone Wars initial grading...

I'd say the Lucas bashers are giving the F's and the Lucas worshippers are giving the A's. Some people are just way too invested in things. TDK on imdb is a great example.

If I had to quote ratings it would be from http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/clone_wars/ and I normally only pay attention to the top critics score which is at a shocking 14% (as opposed to the 25% general score)

or http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/clonewars?q=clone%20wars metacritic's calculation of the averages is said to be more reliable and the score is currently at 40%

I was just re-reading zombie's Secret History of Star Wars, specifically the appendix about the sequel trilogy, and it made me wonder.  If Lucas had gone this exact same route only made it a CG feature based around the original trilogy, would any of us be more interested to see it?  I honestly think I probably would go out there opening night and check it out if that was the case, especially if he managed to get Mark Hamill to voice Luke (doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility at all).  Under normal circumstances, I would still roll my eyes that he was milking the cash cow, but lately it seems that all Star Wars is is about the Clone Wars era, so much so that it would be refreshing to see anything on the big screen with Luke and co, just to prove they still exist, and that we didn't just imagine those three other movies that happened a long time ago.

Any thoughts?

If George Lucas 25 years ago was heading up the project I'd be interested but George Lucas now... Yuck. Kick me while I'm down. It's really all in one man's hands but I'd like to see Lucas never touch those characters again, in fear of him fucking them up.

I'll give Lucas one thing, he might be keeping the OOT down, but least all this bullshit he keeps churning out is Prequel era and has to do with characters I don't care about at all.
