Really it's not like the source material was specatucular or anything. Empire was great, New Hope was really good and Sith was good. The rest ranged from bad to unwatchable. So this isn't like Casablance the musical or something like that. A million times this. I ADORE Star Wars in all shapes and forms, and have since I was little, and I support SW to this day. But I'll never been one of those people who cries that GL "raped my childhood." The old movies have value to me far beyond whatever aesthetic quality they may impart. They were by no means masterpieces, hell, they were ALWAYS cheesy and kiddie (except for Empire and Sith). It's not like Lucas is crapping all over Citizen Kane, or firing puppies out of a cannon or something. He's just doing whatever he wants to his creation. The only way I'll suddenly have a problem with him is if he makes the movies I grew up with completely unavailable (I count the Special Editions as the movies I grew up with - for example, Jedi Rock never bothered me). Hell, the only problem I really have with Lucas is that he won't just admit that he made it up as he went along! That's the most annoying thing, to me. He swears up, down, left, right, A, B, A, B, select (sorry, got carried away) that this was all planned out from the start. There was always going to be six movies, and Luke-Leia were always supposed to be brother and sister with Vader as their father. But this ignores every interview he gave in the time of the original releases, and even greater, it ignores nearly every first, second, and occasionally third draft of each movie in the Original Trilogy. Seriously, George. There's no shame in making it up as you go along! But yeah, that's the only thing I go into a SW-fanboy rage about.

I also have an idea for "Pulp Fiction Babies" but it's gonna be based in pre school. Do you know what they call applesauce in France?

Do it George! Make the fan boys cry! I LOVE IT! Is it bad that I actually get entertainment out of how upset people get about Lucas? Yes, I suggest you get mental health treatments. Luckily for you, I'm a semi-legal Psychologist.

Why do people still think Lucas made 6 Star Wars films? I mean New Hope was good and Empire Strikes Back was awesome, but everyone seems to have dreamt that he made another and tehn prequels. What the hell is an Ewok anyway? And who's this Jar-Jar that everyone hates? Next you'll be telling me that there is actually a Highlander 2 or Slap Shot 2, or even 2 Punisher films......

Most musicals made from movies are actually better than the movies.
I, for one, welcome a Star Wars Musical.
Don't knock musicals until you actually watch one. And no, crappy high school productions don't count.

Actually, as long as the movies get released on Blu-ray with BOTH versions of each, I really don't give a f*** what he does.
