Random Goodness: George Lucas talks Star Wars hate on The Daily Show

You almost have to watch this clip from The Daily Show, which aired right before Mr. Lucas came on, to understand what they’re talking about when they refer to having that child’s sense of wonder. It’s very true, nostalgia plays a big part in people these days loving the original Star Wars trilogy and loathing the newer prequels. I think there were definitely elements in the prequels that I found awesome (podracing, Darth Maul) and others that I didn’t but Lucas has a point: Kids loved JarJar Binks! Kids love the Clone War series on Cartoon Network! And who am I to tell a kid he can’t love something that makes him laugh? I don’t know, I just kinda side with Lucas on this one and give him credit for what he ultimately did: Entertain two generations of children with his films. Oh yeah, and I guess the dude from Modesto has some new book out or something.
