So lets build on the weak parts (to try & repair the Prequels).....that's the ticket for success.
Easterhay said: There are some fans who want to rewrite reality in the way that Lucas is accused of doing - ergo, "when people think of Star Wars they think of the OT". Maybe some people, but by no means all.
Recently in the UK a leading electrical retailer (PC WORLD & Currys) spent a fortune on advertising, all their ads used OT characters (Vader's Shuttle landing in the customer car park, Chewie with a hair dryer etc), even though EP1-3D was due in cinemas.....the OT in peoples mind is Star Wars, & it sells.....it is the premium.....
