at least it's not a show about luke growing up as a whiny youth in the years before his fateful meeting with r2d2 and c3po. that would be much worse.
That's it. I need to get this off my chest...
"Thank you, George Lucas. Thank you for abandoning us TRUE Star Wars fans. Those of us who stuck with you through thick and thin. Those of us who grew up with the original trilogy. Thank you for exploiting our interests with the horrific abomination that was the prequel trilogy. Thank you for backstabbing us with The Clone Wars. Thank you for completely betraying us, the loyal fans, who threw our money at you and got you to the level of monetary gain that you are at today. You're a real piece of work, you bugger (and I mean that in the original context as sheep f***er).
STOP IT WITH THE PREQUEL AND IN-BETWEEN-EPISODES-III-AND-IV BULLS***!!! STOP ABANDONING THE TRUE, GOOD STAR WARS MOVIES!!! THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY!!!

And let Star Wars live it's legacy in fan-hailed glory, nlike Clone Wars, that film sucked so bad, my cinema didn't even play it and its owned by Lucas's company
