A Three Fingered Gauntlet

yoda was good. everything else was as gourmet as velveeta. either boring or unintentionally hysterical. i actually thought it was worse than episode II. and certainly not as good as Return of the Jedi. RTJ had Han Solo in it. and Leia. those were characters i cared about. Jedi was silly, but i was invested in the battles -- it meant something to me.

this crap? this crap was crap.

so now that lucas has taken a messy poo all over what was once rightfully adored, why don't you write what episodes I-III should have been like? that's what yoda would want. how can you say no to yoda?

write a better script. where jedi are actually aware enough to smell a rat. where anikan has a reason to sell his soul other than, "i had a bad dream." where the heroine is something slightly more than a half-off clothing rack. write the scripts then find a way to film them. or animate them in flash. for free. on the web.

if they can remake dukes of hazzard, you can remake star wars. it may not be legal, but if it's GOOD maybe that's what it will take to motivate the citizens to change the laws. demand creates change. so just start it and put it out there so people can build it together, like linux, like the web.

until then, i'll just watch Empire every so often. and carry a pocketful of rocks in case i run into lucas on the street.
