On another note, LFL is just a big drug cartel now (not literally!), they will make us see a bad movie wether we like it or not.

What is this, Clockwork Orange?

Maybe. But the truth of the matter is, LFL manipulates our nostalgia for these films to make us waste our time with utter shit. I know that is basically what all ad men basically do psychologically, but the quality of the PT and with them showing up in 3D next year, you know they are going to make a lot of money based on momentum. People still have warm, fuzzy memories about the OT, and anything associated with that nostalgia is going to be a hit.

It seems to me that GL was upset that he could not become a racer due to a near-death accident (why would he devote so much time in TPM to podracing?!). So I guess he made the whole SW franchise as a 40-year exercise in creating something we would unconditionally love, and then destroy it all in substance over this time as some sort of psychological transference in being denied his "true" vocation in life.
