This is SO wrong: Star Wars geeks should not automatically have low expectations. Damn you George Lucas! :grr::mad:

3. I don't like animaed films

Based on live action films. IMHO this is the worst thing Lucas could have done. A lot of true hard core fans of his, me one of them, were already pissed off when he made those three monstrosities he called Episodes 1,2 and 3. Now he puts out a cheap animated version, that in part, doesn't even follow the chronological order of the saga. This was the last straw, at least for me. I have no intention of seeing this film in the theaters or when it comes out on DVD.

4. Not surprised. George Lucas...

...exhausted his storytelling ability with "The Empire Strikes Back." Everything since has been an extended exercise in product marketing.

I decided "Clone Wars" wasn't for me the second I saw the first trailer. It looks like it was animated in the mid-70s and the characters appear to be sub-Saturday morning cartoon fodder, full of "wisecracks" and anachronistic slang.

Nope. I liked "A New Hope," thought TESB was good, too, tolerated RotJ, and refuse to acknowledge the existence of 1, 2 and 3. "Clone Bores" goes onto the same scrapheap.
