The Fall of George Lucas

• Like everyone else, I enjoyed George Lucas in love, ( even if it did have a reference to the abomination known as Howard the Duck). What I really wanted to talk about though, was George Lucas and the Star Wars prequels. Now when the prequels came out, I was still a kid, and I thought they were the absolute best movies ever. Now that I've actually watched the movie with intelligent insight, I can't stop but think " What was Lucas thinking"? I'm not opposed to technological advancement in visual effects, but the dependency of special effects in this movie doesn't hold up to the story and actual intelligent plot of the original trilogy. I think the main problem with the story of the prequels is the fact that all three movies are centered around the transformation of Anakin into Darth Vader. As a result, we got an annoying kid actor in episode 1, and emo teenager baby boy in episode 2, and FINALLY we got the Anakin we were all waiting for (6 years after the release of episode 1) the psycho hellbent and slaughtering people. There were way too many vague references and it felt like alot of these extra things that were thrown into the story were just thrown in to make an extra action figure. Can you tell me what kid would even want an action figure of Jocasta Nu, the librarian that had a total screen time of 15 seconds in episode 2?

• It's a shame what happened to Star Wars, and now the new trilogy is this series only hope... I can only wish that Disney knows what they're  doing, and knows what's on the line.
