This borrowed computer's speakers aren't working, for some reason, so I don't know if the absence of sound made this better or worse. In any case, I had to stop watching after the Wookie Waggle or whatever the hell that was.
A very long piece could be written on George Lucas's imperfect understanding (to put it charitably) of his own creation. I have to assume that he doesn't think that some (most?) of the choices he's made about these films over the past few years are Bad Things, so I chalk it all up to some sort of fundamental Incomprehension on his part. No other explanation works, for me, that doesn't involve passing it off as Lucas's descent into hackdom. But why his Incomprehension is so profound--I just don't get it.
