Well CO, that's a reasonable, very well written post. I think most people here would agree with you concerning the OT/PT conflict and GL's astounding arrogance.  I know on that part we completely agree.

GL is not someone I want to defend. Not as an "artist" nor as a business man.  In a way I'm glad his greed was thwarted.   But as we've learned in the past nothing will change his mind.  When the GOUT trilogy bombed at retail I'm sure he was happy.  Somehow I think that fits into his twisted world view.

And I'm only busting Adywan's balls because anyone who creates their own "extra special edition" probably shouldn't be complaining about GL's own mania.  Glass houses and all... However I have always respected Adywan's abilities. Editing and CGI effects are not easy. His fan edit is amazing simply because of what he's accomplished.  I hope he understands how I feel.

But yeah, I still think the hysteria over Clone Wars is unwarranted.  I'm shocked to see myself in the position of defending a sily kids movie that prety much everyone hates.  Again, I'm not defending the quality of the film, I'm merely pointing out the hyprocrisy of some of the critics.  (very lulz worthy at times)

But still, the point I made earlier still stands.  If you saw the PT and hated it, and then went out and paid money to see Clone Wars, well....the joke is on you.

I brought a bunch of very young children to see the movie and they all loved it.  That has a particular effect on a person.  Maybe that's another reason I actually enjoyed the tv show....er movie.
