i was flipping thru a few pages of that issues and it looks like there is an article on the clone wars tv show. I haven't read it but some of the higlighted quotes form lucas are hilarious:
"we're going back to the roots of star wars"
"this is star wars. i make no distinction between this series and the films"
so basically - the PT movies are fine; its just if we want to see the relationships between obi-wan, anakin and padme - thats what the tv show is for.
