Am I the only one that doesn't see the point?

There are a ton of stories in the Star Wars universe which occur after the good version of the trilogy.  The Hugo Award winning Thrawn trilogy.  The less acclaimed but still kind of awesome Jedi Academy trilogy.  The Clone Emperor stories.

 

So why would you make season after season after season of a story that for all intents and purposes, one can watch the ending of by buying or renting Revenge of the Sith?  We know how it ends.  Ashoka's gonna die.  A LOT.  Anakin's going to become Darth Vader and kick Jedi ass.  Obi Wan's going to be played by Sir Alec Guiness.  Dr. Ball, MD is going to slap his mechanical head at Padme losing the will to live. 

 

So why?

This Saturday night, it's a heavyweight collision! Newly crowned UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos, fresh off of his 1st round knockout victory over Cain Velasquez on Fox, returns to the Octagon to battle submission specialist Frank Mir in an all heavyweight card! Cain attempts to bounce back from his devastating loss against Brazilian wrecking machine Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva! Plus, Jason "Mayhem" Miller returns on the FX Prelim show to battle CB Dolloway! The action starts 8pm on FX and 10pm on PPV! I mean, what the hell else would you watch?

because Lucas is an idiot.

 

Also the old cartoon clone wars show was a hundred billion times better than this crap "3d" one.

That's actually EXACTLY what I''ve always wondered .

 

We know they're all gonna die .   Yet it's a kid's show ???

 

I'll tell you something that would have been a LOT better if they did it right .

 

Years ago they wrote a series of books about the Star Wars universe that happened

right before the first movie aired .

( Now called A New Hope , Star Wars Episode IV )

 

A whole bunch were made about the adventures of a young Han Solo .

trying to make a living in the dark hidden parts of the universe while avoiding the Empire .

 

 

Those would have been Fing great  .

Because Lucas wants to ram the prequel **noel** down everybody's throat, I guess. Same reason he won't release a proper version (no SE) of the original trilogy on DVD and Blu-Ray...
