Well, I guess that means he doesn't give a crap about the fanboys. I could care less what else they do with this franchise. If it's good, great, if not, fine.

I think Uncle George just wanted to put something out there that makes the prequels look brilliant by comparison. If that's the case, Mission Accomplished!
For the record, I enjoyed the Robot Chicken specials and 2 of the 3 Family Guy SW shows, but this thing looks like an absolute atrocity. I think I'd be less offended if Lucas came to my house and took a **** on my head.

proof that George will always have the motivation to turn a once popular trilogy, into a three movie drop of water, in a sea of terrible spin offs...in an attempt to never come up with another idea ever.
That being said, if this were a fan work, it may come off as at least slightly amusing. But knowing it's by Lucas, it's just sad. Almost too sad to anger me.....but only almost.

Best way to summarize it.

I'm torn. On one hand, Some of these moments were sort of funny. On the other hand, this show won't live to see more than one season.
Well, I showed it to my wife...
While I hated it she LOVED it. Thought is was funny. The kids will LOVE it. That's good I guess.
As long as Seth Green wasn't serious when he was talking about canon I can keep my nerd rage at bay I think.

Here's the thing that's really been making me think. Would Christopher Nolan ever sign off on something like this? How about Peter Jackson? Or James Cameron? What about Ridley Scott? I'll also include Spielberg in that group because as bad as Indy 4 was I don't think he was the one ultimately responsible for it. It seems like Lucas is the only person who has no problem making a mockery of the franchise he built and is willing to cheapen it if it means more money in his pockets. There was a time when I used to support the man and I wasn't even as bothered as most were by the Special Editions or the Prequels. However, with the changes he made to the Blu-rays, his unwillingless to release the OT and now greenlighting this show I have about the same amount of respect for him as I do for the Kardashian family. At the end of the day, they're just whores who will do anything for a dollar.

And if Lucas has his way, that's just wear this is going.

I believe the term is sellout. Where he once lobbied against the colorization of older movies but then ends up doing this and numerous other atrocities to the franchise its quite unbelievable.
The beauty of the Robot Chicken Star Wars parodies was that they at least had some satirical bite to them. By sending up the Episodes and specific character scenes they managed to be original, caustic and pretty subversive, which is what you really need to make it wickedly funny entertainment . A light touch of the darkside so to speak. I felt they were running out of good material towards the end but the majority of it was strong and great fun.
This was just so weak. Caricature without the necessary wit to make it even marginally amusing. "Cute" does not make characters funny. Instead of bitingly witty we got a cartoon so humorlessly toothless but so desperate for affection that it slobbers its great ugly overblown style of animation all over your screen without having the decency to be even slightly whimsical about it after . I felt I had to go have a bath after watching this ,or at least wash my hands I felt so unclean. ***t in every sense of the word.

Yuck. Can't really describe it beyond that.

The worst part is that a bunch of the jokes aren't aimed at kids and I'm sure a lot of it will go way over their heads.
