Obviously Lucas is a greed sunuvabitch, and this guy shouldn't be sued for millions of $$$, but at the same time, it was a bit idiotic of him to start producing/selling these things again.

However I saw the trailer for the Clone Wars animation the other day and at first wanted nothing to do with it, but later thought that, as a stand alone cartoon for kids - it doesn't look that bad - it's just that it's got all of Lucas's baggage attached. If the series turns out to be even half decent though, that'll probably be despite George's best efforts, rather than because of them.

Well, once I reached puberty anyway. This makes me even gladder I’m one of the few people who has zero interest in the Star Wars films. Well, once I reached puberty anyway.

This case just proves what we all knew already and sheds light on the real motivation for the "prequels". No, not a creative urge to finish telling a story, but a grubby little desire to squeeze every single dollar out of misguided fans... Lucas is a greedy man.
