Lucas REALLY ****ed up this time...

Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE star wars, but this... this is just a travesty. It used to be that the movies had a good plot line, good dialogue, and any humor was a bit more... masked at least. Now here is this cartoon version, that is just like the crap you see day to day on cartoon network. I think this is really going to kill Star Wars for the people who grew up with originals.

Funny thing, I actually did that for the last movie (Episode III). First, last and ONLY time I will ever do that. I thought it would be fun, ya know. Star Wars nerds like me have been doing that since the beginning, I thought It was time for me to go to one of the midnight premiers, (Since it was going to be the last). I always thought I was a nerd... and then I saw the other guys waiting in line! lol.

No way in hell I'm even going to pay to see this one.

I was 13 in 1977 when I saw the real SW in a theater far far away. 

Saw nothing in that trailer that would lead me to believe its a dud.  Looked interesting enough but then again, Ive enjoyed them all  :rock

Maybe the target audience is not those above the age of 8.  The story is over, there are no more "missing pieces". 

So, how better to get a new legion of fans interested in the Start Wars story? -----Cartoons.  ;)

why would anybody that 'grew up with the originals' be watching a cartoon version?

Actually the story is not over.  Lucas said his original screen play was about 9 movies.  There is supposed to be three more movies after Return of the Jedi, but I believe he has no ambition in making them.

Actually it was 12 movies (four trilogies), and, no, I do not think the other 3 will be made.  So for all intents and purposes the story (as far as the movie going public is concerned) is over.

You sure it was 12? I always thought it was 9

There are also a great line of books that keep the stories alive well beyond even Lucas' original works. I also read that these same books have to get proofed through Lucas to keep the timelines and continuity Correct.

X-Wing Squadron was a great series devoted to Wedge Antillies and his carreer after the destruction of the second Death Star.

Great series. Ive read just about all of the star wars books. Not the new stuff though, I like the stuff around the timeline of the original trilogy

I just saw the trailer again and the thing that gets me is that I wish they would have used a different graphics engine than what they used. All the Charaters look to "Jelly Bean" for lack of a better description.
