I intend to be disappointed by George Lucas in the order he intended

This is a blog that involves the idea that George Lucas is as you would say "milking it" off of Star Wars, basically he is cashing as much money as he can to sell more and more Star Wars products and films.

There is no denying that Star Wars is one of the biggest phenomena's ever, and there is no doubt that the original trilogy changed cinema when they were first released and created such a craze that cannot truly be described. Before I go any further I am a very big Star Wars fan and love the originals and do like the prequel trilogy, but not as much, there was not as much thought and love that went into the making of them, they were made for the sake of being made and because Lucas had not made a film in years.

When the original trilogy was released on dvd in 2005 I immediately bought it, well come on, it's a must. It is on the 4th disc which includes a documentary where Lucas says he prides himself that he was an independent film maker and that Star Wars was in a way an independent film. This is where I say, "in what way is Star Wars independent". It wasn't so bad that the prequels were made, it made a lot of fans happy to see the story of Darth Vader, but then came the cartoon movie, and the t.v. series of the Clone Wars, well there was another cartoon series just before Revenge of the Sith came out. There are also books, toys, board games, video games, costumes that Lucas gets a percentage of the proceeds.

What Lucas did in 1997 was re-release the originals with extra footage and digitally re-mastered, and it wasn't at all that impressive followed by the vhs box-set, then the prequels were released individually on dvd, then the originals in the dvd box-set, then the prequels in a box-set, then the originals released in there original theatrical release on dvd and now next year we will see the blu-ray special edition box-set with all six films, and it has been announced that Lucas intends to yet again re-release all six films in the cinema in 3D a year after each other. No doubt these will all be released in a 3D dvd box-set. And news that he is trying to raise money to make a live action t.v. series set between the prequels and the originals. So to be honest isn't it time he stopped with Star Wars, he already took Indiana Jones to far with the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and the latest movie where Steven Spielberg put Shia Labouf in the film for the sake if it.

From interviews I have seen on celebrities and actually watching the 1978 Star Wars Christmas special, some people still find it hard to forgive him for helping the channel that produced it, for. I will say that I am looking forward to the new video game The Force Unleashed II,as he barely has any involvement with this, but do hope he does not take it any further. I also doubt that it was intended to be a trilogy as if you watch the documentary it is clear he made it all up as he went along once the first film was released.

It is in the funny t.v. show The Big Bang Theory that they get it what George Lucas has done.

"Why don't you want to watched the Clone Wars t.v. series now?

Because, I want to see the Cone Wars movie first, I intend to be disappointed in Star Wars in the order George Lucas intended it to be."
