If only we lived a long ago in a galaxy far, far away. Someplace George Lucas would say, “I have created a Star Wars trilogy, and it is good.
But no. From The Phantom Menace to The Clone Wars, the animated series premiering Oct. 3 on the Cartoon Network, Lucas continues to do everything wrong in his bid to extend the life of beloved but debased 31-year-old film, TV and merchandising franchise.
Of course, knowing how Lucas loves to squeeze every Imperial Credit out of us without worrying too much about the integral of the franchise, things could be worse. Much worse. Imagine if Lucas ever did the following:
10. Hoping to strike gold with yet another restoration of the original trilogy, he changes the title of Return of the Jedi back to Revenge of the Jedi, replaces Peter Mayhew with a digital version of Chewbacca because he doesn’t like the way Mayhew wears Chewie’s bandolier sash and inserts new scenes with Shia LaBeouf as Han Solo’s never-before-seen son Mutt.
