This place is really started to drain me.....95% of the new threads are all so bloody negative.

 

 

Attacking Lucas's crap is positive, not negative. Let's leave the gushing to the Lucas zombies. Criticism is constructive, and running down something that deserves to be run down is a damn good thing to do.

I understand those who said that we don't care for characters like Yoda because we know they can not die, but in the meantime it is not the point of this series. The point is (aside from selling toys) for each episode to teach a little moral to the kids.

 

Oh God, that's horrible. Fiction that insists on teaching morals to kids is so self-righteous. Self-important moralising, that's just what Star Wars needs.

And whatever Lucas says, Star Wars wasn't always just kiddie stuff. The original films were general audience, designed to appeal to all ages. The old Star Wars wasn't stuff designed to annoy adults and appeal only to kids without brains. Nothing should be pushed as real Star Wars if it isn't designed to appeal to all ages.

Guess i will just pretend this does not exist and sit back and watch the oot.  Kind of like what i mostly do with that phantom plot movie and its sequels.

PLEASE!  Just do the rest of us a favor and do it QUIETLY.  You don't need to come on here every 10 minutes and re-prove how much you hate any SW that came about after 1983.

There hasn't been any Star Wars since 1983.

The pilot was TERRIBLE... I think the series itself is hit-and-miss.

I think it's a good bet that any so-called Star Wars that Lucas is involved in these days is going to be miss rather than hit. I think he's totally lost sight of Star Wars, of what it was, how it worked and what made it good.

And my God, that animation style is revolting. I hear it draws on Thunderbirds puppetry and anime animation. Well, Thunderbirds puppets were creepy and anime animation is fucking annoying. Who needs that stuff dragged into Star Wars?

I can't speak for anybody else, but I absolutely freaken love skyjedi's posts. I think he should have his own late night talk show, because he is awesome.


 

I don't post much, but this is spot-on. Roll on skyjedi. Don't ever change.

I agree- I love Sky's posts! :-)

 

Yeah, I find his posts a breath of fresh air and he says stuff that needs saying.
