You may be right on the title part (even "Star Wars" is a really goofy name once you parse it out), but there is no way Jar Jar would have ever been accepted, children audiences or not.
Recap:
3PO: anthropomorphic robot, comical
Chewbacca: unintelligible, cool alien, badass cool character
I am truly beginning to wonder if Lucas, in some Andy Kaufman-esque way, is trying to see how far he can trash this monolithic phenomenon he's created and still have people buy movie tickets, merchandise, fast-food tie-ins, et al.
Alas, I doubt he has the creative imagination left to think up something so grand, so I guess he's just totally lost his marbles.
There is just no way to even compare Tivo to a VCR. Maybe there's a VCR with super recording features that will record all the shows you want, knowing when something is a repeat, when the show gets moved around, when it's an hour instead of just 30 minutes.
But no VCR is ever going to match the playback capabilities of a Tivo. Like starting to watch a program that is currently recording. Not gonna happen.
And oh yeah, as for not having 30 second skip--big deal. You can FF at some insane speed, so that you can literally zip through 3 minutes of commercials in about 5 seconds. It auto-rewinds a few seconds so you don't have to worry about overshooting when the program resumes.
Although Breathed says all but the earliest strips are in the books, I don't believe that's true. I happen to recall one daily strip in particular that never found its way into any of the books.
It was during the period that it was hinted that Bill the Cat was going to come "back from the dead." The strip went like this:
Milo was sitting around, perhaps with one other character. The "off-screen" narrator was saying, "So, Bill the Cat is really dead, right?" And Milo said, "Yeah, he's dead. Ain't coming back. No sir. He's DEAD." And in the last panel, there is a super close-up of Milo, where he lifts his eyeglasses and goes
WINK WINK.
Now I don't remember the exact dialogue, but that was basically it. And it never showed up in any of the books. I could never figure out why. It always led me to wonder, are there other strips that never got published? I have to believe there are. That was just one that I remembered specifically, there have to be others.
According to this PCWORLD article, "It is likely to cost less than $2000, according to a Pioneer spokesperson. The drive will replace Pioneer's current DVD-R drive in the company's lineup, which costs around $5000."

And even if that were not so, artists rarely ink their own strips. To say some drawn lines were "made a little shaky by that hand tremor" is nonsense.

Jar Jar: unintelligible, annoying as shit

More time fixing bad scripts.
Less time suing people.
