Absolutely no offense taken :-)I agree, I dont really belive it is todays audience he is catering to. I think its more a shift in focus to kids and it deos seem he hits that mark quite well. My friends with children who went to Phantom Menace have told me of their offspring's rapt attention and post movie interest. Its just that his original pictures had the same effect on adults - but judging by my response and many of my friends that doesnt seem to be true any longer.
But I know what you mean about seperating things from their original context. Things we saw earlier in life often do become entwined with our long term tastes in interesting ways. There are movies I recall from my childhood that hit me at a level far beyond their value and content that make them special to this day (the original Bond flicks with Sean Connery for example). And while I'm sure I'd still like them if I was seeing them for the first time now, I'm equally sure they wouldnt resonate in quite the way they do when I see them again in the context of my past experience...
Cheers!
