When Did Star Wars Jump the Shark?

Posted by Zonk on from the meesa-think-it-was-jar-jar dept.

stm2 writes "As a long time fan of the stories, I watched as Star Wars transformed from one of the better sci-fi stories told to 'Whedon is my master now.' An article at the TechRepublic blog explores the weakness of the sequel trilogy and states that the Midi-chlorians are the culprit. Was it the Midi-chlorians, Jar Jar Binks, the actors? When did Star Wars jump the shark?. A bonus question: Did George Lucas redeem himself in Episode III?"

    The funny thing is that they're never actually called "Ewoks" in the movie. That name didn't show up until the action figurines came out. (Though in all fairness, they likely came out before the movie did)
