No, I am not drunk. But I probably should so I have an excuse for going off on terminology I don't like. Maybe an Abe Simpson yelling at clouds pic is in order.

They have to throw around phrases like "practical effects" and other code words because just coming out and stating, point blank, "Don't worry, we're not going to screw this up like Lucas did the prequels" wouldn't be politically correct.
