I never complain too loudly about anything Star Wars, because 8 year old Misterpants thought the original Trilogy and the 2 Ewok movies were all we were going to get so anything more than that is gravy. That being said, I still can't watch cartoons of SW.

Anyhoo, my only complaint in any of these movies or shows is when they try and earthitize stuff in the Star Wars universe. I know that lots of the alien stuff draws on foreign and historical cultures but anything Americanized is instantly lame.

-The mon clamari guy in a cable knit sweater and rain overalls
-scooter gang
-that planet in the prequels that was basically Tokyo/New York in terms of ads everywhere
-the crappy pod race announcers emulating Bob Euker
-deathsticks

Thos types of things are what always pull me out of the SW experience. But at the end of the day, these new shows are just fun. If I was told we would be watching all these rad SW series for 8 bucks a month to kid version of me, I would be ecstatic.
