Does anyne else think the symbolism has disappeared from the most recent films? Lucas consulted a great deal with professors, used historical examples, used the basis of great stories and tales to make the first three movies (1977-1983). Now it seems he's consulting ad agencies, corporations, and soap-opera producers for his latest movies.

I feel the latest movies arent even necessary, they were brought about by a lot of hankering from hard-core fans who demanded a story behind the original story. But when I've seen each of these newest movies again, if seems like there's no meaning behind the plot...it's playing "catch-up" to the original story.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a tirade on Jar-Jar, but what happened to the character development? Where's the symbolism? It just all seems hashed together now, not carfully planned.
