The last time I looked, Lukas wasn't sending Storm Troopers to you whiner's houses and herding you off to the theaters to watch his stuff. If it didn't make money he wouldn't be making it (or remaking it).
Next, you would be hard pressed to find a successful movie in the past few years that wasn't either a remake, clone or another episode of previously made movies. Originality? Nobocy in HWood ever heard of the word. Batman is a complete remake of a previous episode, including Joker as the villain. Yet it has broken all movie records so far. Shreks all sell $250 mil plus, as do further episodes of Potter, Pirates, Indy, Superman, etc.
So all the whining about milking the cow is BS. It is not the cow, it is the Golden Goose and as long as it lays Golden eggs, it won't be served up for dinner itself.
Last but not least, the philosophy around here, if used on autos, would have us all turning a crank to fire up our Model-T's.
Taking the same movie and converting it to the lastest technology offers it to newer generations of movie goers who expect the latest and greatest technologies.
That is why almost everyone's home movie libraries are now DVD instead of VHS or Betamax now. The image and sound is better and will get better yet when converted again to HD-DVD or whatever the next new home theater technology is. That may ultimately include 3-D & maybe 3-D IMAX for those with home theaters that can use it. If not then virtual reality helmets that will allow YOU to become part of the movie if you wish. Who knows. Will you all be whining when the Batman ans Superman episodes are converted to 3-D IMAX and rereleased?
I bet not.
So if you don't like Lukas movies, don't go. It is still a free country, at least until NOBama becomes King/messiah/Tsar.

Point is... Lucas doesn't even bother trying to start something fresh and lively. He keeps going back to this old barn. How unoriginal is that? "So what? He makes money doing it!". WOW! What a filmmaker to look up to! I'm not gonna bother doing any more projects...since my last one was popular, I'm just gonna milk it until I die! Forget everything else!

Yikes, what a boring life.

You don't see Nolan re-releasing BATMAN BEGINS with alternate scenes and characters and then putting it in 3-D and re-releasing it and putting it on a special edition anniversary DVD every 2 years.

Even the lowest of the low (Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3) don't re-release into theaters again (in 3-D, with alternate scenes, endings, etc.) and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

Lucas is a worn-out, one-trick, lazy, predictable, unimaginative, piece of crap.

Indy 4 wasn't bad at all. Look at Hulk or Speed Racer, now those sucked. Even Wall E sucked too. That was overrated.

if he can release the new clone wars movie (which tells a story that obviously had no impact in episode III and therefor DOES NOT MATTER which is why its a fkn cartoon) then i doubt anything will stop this.

All the people that loathe Star Wars can **** off and watch Pirates of the Caribbean, Spiderman 3 and Hancock. All that churned out Hollywood ****.
