Ok - I read the whole thing. I've had similar feelings (albeit with a little less vitriol) for the last couple of weeks. We're going setting ourselves up for a letdown. Again. Luckily, this is the last time Mr. Lucas is going to get away with it (until 2007 when he wheels out the 3-D versions). My advice: before heading out to the theater to see EP III, pop in a copy of the Holiday Special. Remind yourself what GL did to the franchise before the second (and best) installment even came out. Then, in the words of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (as filtered through John Lennon), "Turn off your mind. Relax and float downstream."
