A coworker just asked me if we went to see the new Clone Wars movie, and he was treated to a rant about Lucas and how he's not getting another dime from me ever. I told him I'm done, had it, never again, not happening!

I think I scared him [g] Hell hath no fury and all that.

Yeah, Clone Wars looks all kinds of cool, but if Lucas wrote it, I'm out. I've never seen a man screw up his own franchise as much as this guy has...

LOL! I'll treat you to it if you come to Vegas [g]

Ooh. No fair. *pout* I can't afford Vegas this year.

I thought you were coming! [pouts]

I'm sorry! Really! But I sat down and looked at my budget and realized that I'd got in over my head this year and I had to pull back.

I've already paid for the Canada trip, so I can't cancel it, and this just falls too close to that.

I understand. I'd just hoped to meet you :) Maybe next year.

The man believes he has more talent than he does. He screwed up the movies and he just can't admit it.

What you said.

So...Clone Wars was pretty awful, huh? Not sure I want to see it in the first place. Animated Ewan isn't the same and Real Ewan.:)

Honestly, I have no idea. But unlike Charlie Brown and the football, I've learned my lesson [g]

At best, I'll rent it some time when I'm really bored.

*hides behind desk* Um, sorry? I did give many dimes to Mr. Lucas this week -- and went to see it. Midnight screening, because I had to be somewhere very early that next morning, and it was easier not to sleep . . .

Not bad -- but not great either. Of course, I'm just biased because there was lots of Anakin and not much Obi-wan, and yeah, whoever said animated Obi is not as good as live Obi hit it right on the spot. *goes back to contemplate cute Jedi*

That's okay :) I'm just bitter [g]

yeah, ditto that. besides, that animation looked like doodie in the previews...

*Makes a whimpery noise.* I could forgive him so much if he'd just fucking let me buy the original trilogy in its original theatrical release form as a single DVD box set with no bells and whistles, no having to buy one of his "improved" versions of the trilogy with it. I'd just like my Star Wars back. *Sighs forlornly.*

Amen! When I was 14, Star Wars (not 'A New Hope', STAR WARS) was the love of my life. And now, yeah, I'm feeling a little bitter about what he did with my love. Yes, I sound goofy, but I've been drinking! [g]

*Nods.* I was younger, young enough I enjoyed the ewoks resemblance to teddy bears, and still have my 15" stuffed Wicket W. Ewok. Lucas hasn't just butchered "some movies" he's butchered my childhood.

And now, yeah, I'm feeling a little bitter about what he did with my love.

Yep, I could describe myself as feeling hurt, used, betrayed, or bitter, just a few of many possibilities.

Yes, I sound goofy, but I've been drinking! [g]

Heh, I haven't been drinking, can I blame sleep dep instead?

I am so there with you.

HAN SOLO SHOT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wrote a huge amount of SWars fanfiction. Just gigantic amounts. Hated TESB. Wasn't terribly fond of ROJ.

And then Indiana Jones was the same way... 1 good, 2 stunk, 3 eh. I think there might be a pattern here.

how he's not getting another dime from me ever

Oh? How come?

Oh, that's a long involved rant that I'm not up to typing out right now [g] Short story is the prequels and what he did changing the original movies tossed in with a lot of little things from over the decades.

Ah. ITA. For Jar Jar Binks alone, Lucas must pay! ;)
