Ok, lets look at this logically. Star Wars was groundbreaking, true enough. Empire was good, and Jedi was entertaining. That is where the talent stopped. Lucas spent 3 years making Episode 1, and it was no better than a VanDamme movie made in 3 months. Why was Star Wars ground breaking, because the effects were new/great, and the story was cool. Episode 1 had an incredibly dull story, coupled with trite dialog. So, enough already people. Lucas brought us to a new level with Star Wars, unfortunately he has not grown anymore, while the rest of the industry has, ie SPR, The Matrix. So let Lucas waste the next 3 years working on his next disappointing project, and forget about Star Wars. Enjoy the incredible selection of quality films available on DVD, films which took 1/3 of the time to make, and are way above Lucas' quality in terms of plot, interest, and acting.
