So apparently the new animated Star Wars movie depicts Jabba the Hutt's uncle as some sort of gay stereotype, speaking not in Huttese with sub-titles like his nephew, but in a voice that Lucas told the director should be based on Truman Capote. Seriously.What the hell happened exactly? When did Lucas go from being master storyteller and visual magician to ... I don't know ... how would you even describe it? The producer of America's Funniest Home Videos with a budget of a billion dollars and a total brain cell count of 1?
It's like he was driving along one day and took a wrong turn right up his own arse.
In fact, it's kind of like watching Anakin's downfall; a young, idealistic guy with natural talent and the drive to capitalize on it, falling to the dark side of tyranny and empire-building.
Short of his son redeeming him moments before Lucas's death (before his son then heads off to a bitchin' Ewok party) I can think of only one other thing that can be done to insure that Lucas ceases his comprehensive assault on not one, but now two beloved franchises (including the trainwreck that was the new Indiana Jones movie);
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
