Screw 'em. I will not spend a dime on that stupid rag, and I know that their tribute to the only SW movie that they think is worth anything (and even that is a relatively recent development; I remember in the early '90s, it referred to the OT movies as "no-brainers") will be just as much a snipe session at all the other SW movies.
I can guess what will be in the issue: plenty of glorification of ESB at the other movies' expense; wistful remarks about how ROTJ and the PT could have been as good as ESB had Lucas "just stayed out of them"; brown-nosing, allegedly "rare" interviews with David Prowse and Gary Kurtz ("rare," my Aunt Fanny -- both of them have diarrhea of the mouth when it comes to saying everything the bashers want to hear) in which they talk about how ESB is SW for grownups, and look what's happened to it since; and plugs for the "documentary" The People vs. George Lucas.
SW.com is promoting this issue? Well, is that really surprising? They announced that 2010 would be the Year of ESB, which "everyone agrees is the most awesome SW movie."
No thanks. I love ESB but I am effing SICK of it being used as a bludgeon against the other movies...and sw.com going along with it.
