Star Wars Legacy revealed

[Ghoulish Delight]

Any catch this on the History Channel last night?

We tried to watch it. I had to turn it off within the first 10 minutes. I hadn't seen anything about it, didn't know about it until TiVo started recording it. What a steaming pile of crap.

There were essentially two things wrong with it.

* It was filled with talking heads that had absolutely nothing to do with Star Wars. Psychiatrists, philosophy professors, sociologists. Not a single primary source, it was nothing but, almost literally, "I once read that George Lucas read a book that mentioned Carl Jung. I know a lot about Carl Jung."

* It might still have been interesting despite that, but they were insisting on equating the prequels with the trilogy. It was total propaganda for the prequels, trying pathetically to show that Anikin's story paralleled Luke's story, therefore all 6 movies are part of some great modern myth.

Maybe it got better after the first 10 minutes, but I didn't have the stomach to sit around and find out.
