I thought it was a decently-written article, and I certainly hope those who are foaming at the mouth and crying for blood can see it and calm down a bit. But I agree it is missing the point. Like Mielr said, the prequels don't bother me as much as the SEs do (although with the 2004 version having the prequels bleed into them, that does sour me on them a bit). I'd much prefer Lucas give up Star Wars, end the franchise, now and forever, and have no one ever write another book, code another video game, or shoot another movie. That would be great. But at the end of the day, all I really care about is getting the trilogy the respect it deserves, and the article doesn't even touch on that.
