Oh, and to PT-lovers and "Nobody's forcing you to watch them": but Lucas' merchandising and marketing machine got permanently switched to PT mode. Even OT related products got tainted. I will never get X-Wing or Dark Forces sequel/remake that'd be devoid of PT influences. So my only choice is to skip Star Wars altogether. Sadly, that's what I do.


Reading this, I'm reminded of what part of Star Wars really needs to be rebooted - the EU. Remove the NJO era, Legacy era, and all the PT-styled Jedi and Sith outside of the PT era from canon, replace all writers with a hard-on for the PT with writers who respect and appreciate the old school SW Universe, and everything'll start coming up Milhouse.

 

I'm okay with that.  I'd love a PT Reboot first and foremost.  So much could be done to improve the current state of Star Wars.  I want to feel proud to be a fan again.
