hmmm..don't have video games, but guess it can work.  haven't tried a cartoon - any cartoon or a pixar cartoon?

i was watching Dark Knight blu ray when I saw it and was really unsettling. 

As for Watto, i have to admit he was fun if not as memorable as OT.  If you watch TPM, all the human characters interact better with Watto than they do with each other!!! Natalie was horrible, worthless in this movie but the look she gives watto when they cross paths in the Hangar is priceless. Funny that Watto was one of the only designs that Lucas was hands on.  He gets too much credit for his imagination - usually he just tells art department "make me a creature", "i need planets", "i need a warship", and the after further revisions he signs off.  But apparently the crew was confused about watto, so lucas was more involved. 

Sebulba was fun at first, but then he sucked during the pod race.  He had this deep baritone voice but in the pod race its a screechy high-pitched voice :(   

Rob Coleman spent a lot of time bringing the CGI characters to life.  he probably would have directed the PT movies better than Lucas did, even if he doesn;t have the formal traning.
