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?"

    Star Wars was never good. It all sucks. Assuming you are over eight.

    I also loved how the Ewoks managed to defeat the imperial forces with lo tech.
    It's like an allegation of the Vietamin war or something, you dumbass.
