Why?

Rating: 2/10 (7 February 2007)

Why has Lucas been so corrupted by the dark side of commercial film making? Surely he had enough millions of dollars already to safely rest on his laurels and retire the series as it was meant to be? Or at least produce a half-decent attempt at the prequels? I was brought up on the original SW trilogy. I loved it as a child and I still think (objectively, I hope) that it was one of the best-told stories ever done on film. What a way to sell out and bastardise the foundations of an entire sub-culture in our society.
What if Shakespeare rose from the dead and wrote: "Macbeth II: This Time It's Personal"?
