As for me, I thought it was going to be painful. But I tried to see it from his perspective, and I thought it had alot in it for him. I also thought it moved along at a pretty good pace, too.
As for George Lucas, he now has a whole new fan base to work from, and a more accepting one at that. (Plus he has all those Dad’s to buy all that follow-on merchandise! 🙂 )
