Lucas' saying that he made Episode 1, "...for the kids" was a Freudian-slip admission that it would be as endearing as the proverbial fart in the elevator to the rest of us. Kids movies aren't usually marketed with the kind of hype that SW's is, and for good reason. Methinks that Lucas, upon finishing it all up, gazed back upon his creation & quoted the Almighty's words after making mankind - "Frankie! [shock]" So, we have a multi-million $ "kids movie". [puke]
Maybe he can blame it all on just too much Napa Valley wine.
Lucas would do much for the reputation of the series (& maybe his ability as a writer/director) if he could make this installment better than only a few clicks shy of his [i]other[/i] Episode 1 POS, "Howard the Duck".
Maybe the Empire can execute him by firing squad[:D]...but then he'd just be a martyr, and he doesn't deserve that kind of reverence[:(!] Then again, the Empire could just lock him down in some dungeon on an abandoned asteroid with some over-sexed, multi-pr!cked alien and let justice take its course...[shock][sex][shock]
OTOH, if it turns out to be as good as the SW game, "Outcast: JK 2", then it'll be a worth it.
