I guess while the <em>Star Wars</em> hunger is there somebody will try to satisfy it. At least there is another course to sup on however unsatisying it might be.

That's not to say that the prequels were without fault, but I appreciate George Lucas' creative vision and control over his space opera. If you haven't already, I also recommend the animated <em>Clone Wars</em> shorts and TV series. They're heavily stylized, but still entertaining.
