Yes, his full name is "Attichitcuk." And yes, he is one of the main characters of Galactic Battlegrounds. It focuses on his early years when was a warrior, and you get to fight some of the battles he was involved in.

By the way, I tried to watch the Holiday Special yesterday, and I only made it a little ways past the part where the Imperial guys leave the Wookie home. I just couldn't take anymore.


Wow, you had never seen it before?

Eh, a small amount of moments like those are usually needed, and ROTS, IMHO, had just the right amount.

I really don't think that he completely hates it, as several authors have written books that involve Malla, Itchy, and Lumpy. (For instance, "A Forest Apart," which was the supplemental book to "Tatooine Ghost," involved Lumpy going to Coruscant with Chewbacca.) And the holiday special was even referenced in Star Wars: Galaxies, by showing Wookiees in red robes celebrating Life Day..

It'll pass, as it always does. Just like this year with Star Wars, most people have already forgotten Episode III.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume II
Terminator 2 Extreme Edition
Indiana Jones trilogy

I do feel that Lucas went a little overboard with CG. CG is something that, IMHO, should be used in moderation, and ONLY when absolutely necessary. I think all things should first be attempted using all of the original techniques, and where it is by all means impossible, the filmmakers should resort to CG. I was reminded of this when I watched Terminator 2 again tonight. It was made in the early 90's, when all of this CG stuff was beginning. Cameron seemed to seamlessly use "real" methods and CG, while maintaining a satisfying story and bringing good performances from his actors.

What I find hilarious is in the booklet for the Extreme DVD edition, Van Ling explains of his dislike of modern filmmakers who use an extreme amount of CG in their work. It seemed as if he was subtely making a comment on Lucas. HA!

Marketing. As you said, that's all their list is: self-promotion and over-gratification to Lucasfilm. That entire site is basically one huge commercial, which is pathetic. How sad that these kind of marketing-mided people are so representative of the Star Wars series. At least the guys who maintain the Star Trek site actually take more interest in their fans and exist for a purpose besides the $$$$. I mean, profit is very important, but they need to learn that there is more to it than that. Pablo Hidalgo and all of the "content supervisors" for StarWars.com are some of the most self-congratulatory motherfuckers I've ever seen. I really don't think it's people like Lucas who is so money-hungry. It's Jim Ward and company.
