I have zero interest in the CW cartoon.

That said, I know about Pegg criticizing the prequels and the recent blu-ray changes. But, as a big OT fan he probably jumped at the idea of voicing an OT character. I'm more surprised that Lucas has seemingly overlooked Pegg's criticism, as George seems to be very sensitive to criticism.

At the end of the day, it's just a paycheck for Simon Pegg.

My interest level in the CW cartoon (or any other modern-produced SW material) remains at zero.

I had zero interest as well until a realized that the Clone Wars is basically the version of the prequels that we should have got to begin with.

Unfortunately the show does require at least an acceptance of the prequels since they establish the baseline for the show so it would be difficult for someone who prefers to ignore the prequels to take any part in the series.

I can say thought that Dave Filoni and his team do an excellent job of capturing a greater original trilogy feel than the prequels did, mostly since Lucas isn't writing or directing.
