    Really, that's begging to be made.

    If ever there was a series that needed mocking, it's the new starwars series. Anyone who's willing to throw a pie at lucas and his giant ego has got my vote.

      Thats a lot of people.

      Doesn't Lucas realize that Empire Strikes Back, with screenwriters Who Aren't Named Lucas and a director Who Isn't Named Lucas, was the best of the Star Wars movies? The awful acting out of Mannequin Skywalker and Amidala good have been hammered out with somebody capable of writing good dialog and a director capable of recognizing stale delivery.

    Mel's great but he jumped the shark after Young Frankenstein, Blazing Sadles and the Producers.

    That's quite a long jump, 1974 (Fankenstein) to 2001 (Producers).

    Isn't it more fair to say that he's had his hits and misses over his 65+ year career?

    ' Maybe this will be as good as Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Oh wait, that sucked."

    Newsflash buddy, there's a LOT of people out there who loved Men in Tights.

    Yet another ignorant person who assumes that their opinion is fact...
