Oh here we go - shit, theres alot more detail copied than i though - i think Lucas was trying to pay homage, to a degree. But fuck, if I was herbert and saw the last three movies that Lucas has released, i would go batshit at him aswell. Some of the detail is relative common sense, though.

I used to like star wars, when it was the initial 3 movies that were actually done well. Fuck knows what happened with the more recent ones. The entire atmosphere and mood created in 4-6 was turned into bubblegum. These movies should have been far darker and more ominous than they were - perhaps it was the cute little droids with comical faces? Or jaja? Or the shithouse dawsons creek acting?
