“Dear George…”

Dear Mr. Lucas,

The very first movie I ever remember watching is “Empire Strikes Back”. As a child I loved the Star Wars Trilogy, and my lifetime total for the number of times I’ve watched all 3 movies is innumerable. The Force was an intangible, well, force that every kid at that age wanted to have. To be able to wield a light-saber, move things with our minds or control the weak-minded are all powers I have dreamed of many times over. You created not just a Trilogy of epic proportions, but implanted a dream inside the mind of every child who saw your movies.

But then you had to throw in midi-chlorians. What are midi-chlorians and where exactly did they come from? I liked Star Wars just fine WITHOUT midi-chlorians, you don’t have to explain the Force to me, I just believe!

Also, let’s look at your track record here. Other than Star Wars and Executive Producing Raider of the Lost Arc, what else have you done? Not a whole lot George, not a whole lot. So how come the new prequels have been underwhelming? Why haven’t I been blown away? Why haven’t I come out of the theatre with an ear to ear grin on my face? You had 20+ years to come up with the whole story and the best you could do was Jar Jar Binks??

I’m disappointed George. Episode 3 is going to have to be REALLY good to make up for all the mistakes you’ve made. Oh and by the way, you can take your Star Wars DVD boxed set and shove it up your inordinately large ass.

Signed,

Former Fan
