Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Him and Filoni are a great team. I have so much more respect for those guys protecting this like Lucas would.
I agree that they are a good team and are putting out material that meshes well with the original ethos. I take exception with your comment about Lucas protecting anything. The man tinkered with those films to death, manipulating them in ways that homogenized and lessened their original luster. HAN SHOT FIRST, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
If you haven't yet watched the documentary The People vs. George Lucas, I highly recommend it.
