Not only that, Silver Wook, but it was also quite a good movie. Kiefer Sutherland is tops in it.

I'm familiar with the "just because it sold doesn't mean it's good" theory. Familiar enough to not have espoused it in my original post. I simply said the films were popular and have a huge fanbase. People should just accept that and not be resentful of it or, even worse, feel superior to those folk (I've seen prequel fans referred to as "you people" on this forum, something to which I take particular offense).

And Lucas also gave his blessing to Family Guy. Personally, I think South Park is a dreadful show and about as funny as rabies. Nevertheless, just because something is lampooned is not proof positive that the subject is bad, moreover it's because the subject is successful.
