...but there was no mention of Lucas laughing maniacally as lightning crashed behind him. It would havce seemed appropriate.
You mean like when he produced good movies and chose actors properly?
Leaving film and going to TV makes me think Lucas doesn't know his own strengths. He definitely has a gift for grand scale epic imagery, but his interpersonal, small close scene kind of stuff sucks. Or to put it another way: his battle scenes are great, the emotional progress of Anakin into Vadar was crap.
We are all just people.
I discounted the article as soon it compared Rush to Poison.
Everyone knows that R2D2 is the true hero of Star Wars..
Repton.
They say that only an experienced wizard can do the tengu shuffle.
Good point, but he lost me when he called Lucas a genius.
I would have to emphatically disagree. I've always thought that the Thrawn trilogy was some of the best Star Wars writing out there, and it would have made a great conclusion to Lucas's original idea of a trilogy of trilogies if it had been done back in the 80s or 90s when it was still possible to use the original actors.

Who sponsors your feelings?
You are kidding me right? Zahn's first three novels were probably better than most of george's scripts. George just cant do dialog. Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command aka the Thrawn trilogy is some of the best non cannon Star Wars works period.
Insert something witty here...
