Sadly, George Lucas is getting almost into his mid 70's. Star Wars had to eventually move past George (realistically).

I know from a quote by him right before he sold to Disney how it sounded like all the years of hate on him had finally taken its toll on him...something along the lines of, "Why would I keep making more Star Wars movies when all everyone does is tell me what a bad person I am?!" He also expressed interest in giving the franchise to a new generation of filmmakers.

I also enjoy the new movies. They definitely aren't perfect - but neither are the prequel or OT movies. I choose to enjoy them for what they are vs. what I wish they would be. When I find myself starting to wish for something different, I just remind myself that at the end of the day, they're just movies. Fun movies but movies nonetheless.

It was right around the release of the prequels that people turned into whiny, little bitches in this country. Yeah...back in the good ole' OT days, we had discolored squares around our tie fighters and we liked it. Nobody complained. We just said, "thank you."

Well, Shinnickneth, there are two types of people in this world now: the type you describe (living/enjoying reality) and the type that use words like "appropriation" and bitch about every way in which reality doesn't line up with what they want in their heads.
