Meanwhile, LFL launches that massive multimedia clone wars project with the six books, the genndy series, the comics, the digest comics, etc, and people got even more pissed as it became clear that GL intentionally left everything people wanted to see out of AOTC (tell me that's not the most commonly voiced complaint about the PT) just so he could make more money by spreading it out over that huge multimedia campaign. Cash grab though it was, the various creative minds behind it arguably did a better job than GL did with the prequels because they embraced what had come before in the EU and the OT.

 

In regards to Lucas leaving what people wanted to see out of AOTC (intentionally none the less!!!), what did people want to see in that film? I'm not sure what aspects of the Clone Wars 'cash grab' would have been better in the films.

The ludicrous action of the cartoon? The existential search for identity of Jangotat? Another disposable villain like Ventress or Durge? Obi-Wan's chestplate? Or were we all dispointed that AOTC didn't include MedStar Battle Surgeons!?? Which of these great plot points exactly were intentionally left out because of their overwhelming greatness?

As for most commonly voiced complaint about AOTC, it seems to me that it's between 'the love story blew' or 'the mystery subplot blew.'
