Made it my desktop wall paper straight away.

Awesome, thank you Jarrod.

I am wondering, whether Star Wars are as much inspirational and influential for younger generations now as they were in 'good old days'...

No worries.

I don't know, it's a good question. With some of the older kids they were raised on episodes 1-3 first and just from a couple of conversations they didn't latch on to it as much.

We intend on giving our kids their first viewing very soon so I can report back on whether they like it or not.

The best thing about episode 7 is that George Lucas will have absolutely nothing to do with it.

No...
But I cannot forget Ja Ja Binks, nor 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'

Then you could have said - The best thing about episode 7 is it wont have Ja Ja Binks or Shia LaBeouf in it.

The biggest reason movie/sci fi forums are currently in melt down and movie goers are wetting their pants in anticipation, is because this December, we are going to be reunited with the beloved characters George Lucas gave us in 1977.

I don't understand George Lucas bashing, its daft and a fallacy .

HA!
Why not give credit where it is due?
For 'A New Hope' that would be George Lucas' ghost writer; Alan Dean Foster (who you can also thank for 'Alien')

As for 'The Empire Strikes Back'; it was directed by Irvin Kershner, produced by Gary Kurtz, and written by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan.
Episode 6 was written by George and Leigh. Here you can see George's influence writing in lame elements that add nothing to the story line, they simply serve as a means of extracting cash from your wallet via merchandising ... Ewoks etc)
Episodes 1,2 & 3 are a true reflection of George's talent.
They are fecal matter.

Pretty the cloners will sue for uniform copyright though

The Kaminoans resented the military occupation and formed a rebel clone army and rose up against the empire them forcing the empire to recruit from the rest of the military for the stormtrooper corps which became more of an expeditionary force like the marines.

This all occurred in the expanded universe.

The review is more compelling than the prequels:

I'm getting a feeling that you're not a George Lucas fan...

Saw this today and couldn't resist.
