Yep. Either that or my cinematic tastes have matured. Or a combination of both.
Personally, if I were George, I wouldn't have sat on my hands so long. I either would've made the next films "in cycle" (about 3 or 4 years apart, but no more) or not made them at all. By waiting so long, he tried to introduce new characters to a new audience while alienating his old audience. He would've been better off doing a completely new serial oriented to the kids and keeping the "Star Wars" tale in tune with an older audience. For example, in Episode IV, Carrie Fisher provided a good dose of cheesecake in most of her scenes (such as in the scene where just before her home planet gets blasted, its quite obvious she's strutting around bra-less). And in Episode VI we get the Slave Leia scenes which fueled the sex fantasies for most American males between the ages of 10 and 40 for the next 20 years. But in Eps 1 and 2, George oriented it to the kids, and hence no bloody arms on the floor of a cantina, no half-naked Princesses, no green-skinned women dancers cavorting in the evil guys' lair.
If SW: Ep3 is released in the same summer as the new Batman film, I'll probably spend my cash on Batman.
