I hate this shitty decade and everything about it. I can't stand the music, the movies, the TV shows, the technology, or the fashion. Hell, I hate the mid-to-late '00s, too, since the the 2010s are just an extension of those garbage years.
I wish I could go back to the '90s; at least that decade had decent music and made some lick of sense.

Speaking for myself, Palpatine simply being an opportunist who found an effective means to get what he wanted is far more interesting than the quasi-fundamentalist Sith the prequels portrayed him as.
Indeed. Palpatine as a self-taught darksider, who probably researched the lore of countless Force traditions - Jedi, Sith, and otherwise - dabled in their arts, and probably conducted his own explorations into the Force, is far more interesting a character than Lucas' Palpatine, who's no more than the heir to a long line of boring, two-dimensional Sith Lords with stupid names and the inane Rule of Two.

If they have actually written the scripts, and those scripts have more digital effects and CGI than the prequels, one can only assume the stories will be on par with, if not inferior to, the prequels.
Or Captain America is the Human Torch! It's obvious now! Doom eventually depowered him, erased his memory, and sent him back in time to the 30s/40s. If we go the Futurama route, he may even prove to be his own grandpa!
^^Sexy!
This whole discussion just serves to remind me of Lucas' ineptitude at crafting a cohesive "cosmic" story that makes any sense.
George's party line is that when the two Sith personified in the beings of the Emperor and Vader were killed/redeemed, evil itself was pretty much destroyed, a horrible imbalance created by the Sith's use of the Force was corrected, and a possibly-eternal period of peace and prosperity was ushered into existence throughout the universe. So, how the hell does this exactly work? The Sith can't misuse the Force, since the dark side is an inherent aspect of the Force that exists independently of any user who may choose to weild it. Even if two darksiders could profane the Force, so to speak, how come the thousands of Jedi who used to exist - who supposedly used the Force in the right way - couldn't use their powers to offset this disturbance somehow? And anyway, assuming all this claptrap could be made to make sense, how does the eradication of two Sith prevent other non-Sith darksiders - either from within or without the galaxy - from coming into existence? Logically, unless the Star Wars universe doesn't extend far beyond the main galaxy, there will always be darksiders elsewhere in the universe to misuse and unbalance the Force.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (2005)
Not a bad film, by any means, and unlike most remakes, this one actually respects the source material. However, most of the acting in the film is awful, which brings the movie down considerably.
I don't really know what to rate this, so I'll just give it a 5-to-6/10.
Frink seems pleased.
