    luckily Lucas did little more than sign off on The Clone Wars cartoon of which was really good. I'm not a rabid Lucas molested my inner child type, but I do see that EpI was horrible, EpII was slightly less horrible, EpIII improved upon that to be merely bad. He is improving, and I did really enjoy 2 & 3 despite the warts.

    How cool would a Film Noir in Mos Eisley be?

    Or a wandering Jedi, a'la Zatoichi?

    The story of recovering the Death Star plans?
