...to talk about something other than audio for a change - Wait, hey (moment of personal realization) you mean there is something to life other thatn audio?!? Wow! Whoda thunk?Regarding the promotional tie ins - I really dont mind that they occur so much, I agree its a nice spiff to the economy. I guess what I didnt expresss well is my frustration with Lucas apparently coming to view the SW franchise primarily as a vehicle for advertising them first and offering entertainment as a movie second.
I found the first two movies were a delight in that they had the unique ability to cross big demographic boundaries and appeal to children and adults alike. I'll never forget the opening of Star Wars. I lived in Houston at the time & after reading about it in Time I went the local premier. The house was packed and the audience had to be 40 - 45% under age 12. It was a riot. The movie was so fresh and the audience so engaged it was an absolute blast (kids cheering when the good guys won, booing when Darth Vader came on screen) and the most pure fun I've ever had watching a movie. The second was even better I thought for being a bit darker - but from there its been the descent into kiddy land and the proliferation of pointless fuzzy little characters and robots with no real role in the plot apparently there just to result in more tie-ins hanging off the racks in the toy department of every store you walk into.
It seems he's abandoned the adult audience completely - at least I know I cant connect with it the way I could the first two. And somehow after the impact of the first two it feels as thogh he's totally sold out and abandoned the adult audience altogether...
