THere's too many good movies out right now, there's a diminished aura around it, and it's not going to negatively affect the franchise, because there's still a TV show coming around it.
Plus, Genndy Tartakovski's Clone Wars probably kicks the crap out of this one.

He's like Russell T Davies (The Doctor Who guy).
He may have good ideas (Crystal Skull aside) but he's crap at everything else and his crappyness tarnishes it's potential.

You forgot "Howard The Duck." Yeah, it was horrible, but still, he made "Howard The Duck." ;D and "Willow". *cough* And a little great movie called THX 1138.

You and your damn Holiday Special! Don't forget the two Ewok films. I'll consider those and the Holiday Special REAL Star Wars films LONG before I ever acknowledge the prequel crap. What about the Droids and Ewok cartoons!? Also, I've only seen one of the two Ewok movies, that I think people completely forget even exsist.

I saw the first Ewok movie didn't care for it As I think about it I think I've seen them both. They were crap that's for sure. I watched it with some friends and we just had a great time laughing at it.

It just doesn't look that good, to be honest. The new character(I haven't bothered to learn her name) looks interesting, but she's cursed by being in a movie no one will really care about, because it's gonna be forgotten VERY soon.

I kind of like the second Ewoks movie. It's awfully sad for a kids movie though, with all the kids' family dying right off the bat, especially after we'd gotten to know them in the first film.

This new movie just looks like crap. The animation looks bad, and it seems like there will be no major plot developments, as the movie takes place between two we have already seen. I'm kind of a Star Wars nerd even, if I'm being honest here, but even I don't see the point with this movie. I've never been less interested in something Star Wars related.

The point of the movie was to set up the new TV series

Or people are ignorant and afraid of new things when it comes to Star Wars. If it doesn't resemble the original trilogy or has anything to do with the prequels, they're not interested. This. I have a friend who is a HUGE Star Wars mark (and I mean HUGE) who even has the graphic novels. He's probably loving it. I wish I had the same passion for Star Wars that he has. He marked out totally when I gave him an older Star Wars comic that I found at a lawn sale. I knew I couldn't appreciate it as much as he would so I gave it to him.

With this animation, and basically taking place between two chapter's we've seen already, there's not gonna be any kind of surprise or suspense. It's hard to say what will happen to it, but I'm not very optimistic with my prognosis.

Yeah, if anything they should give us a TV series with things that happen after Return of the Jedi. I think with the three films and cartoon series we've gotten enough of the prequel stuff. I'm really just not that interested in this film or any TV series that takes place at the same point in the Star Wars timeline as the film. Enough is enough.
