Yes I was addressing you, and whether you say it was a review or not it looked precisely like a critique of the film and nothing else useful. This thread is for discussing possible future plot points of the franchise, not a place for you to simply re-iterate what you said in the review thread.
Don't argue with me on this, just keep it on topic.

I hope they have an episode or two on the whole "Dark Reaper" thing from that videogame and I wish they could touch up on the Death Star plans we see Dooku give Sidious then by the end of ROTS we see it is under construction which must have started during the war.

Ah.
Your review of my post is noted.
I disagree with your interpretation of it, but I will leave that there as I digress....
On your topic and kept simply then: 'It'll grow more formulaic and overly/unneccesarily intertwined 'til it strangles itself in with a mundane and predictable rope made of pure franchisey derivative tripe.'

Lucasfilm has quite a way to go to overtake developments in the world of animation. I saw WallE and CW a week apart. I though CW was allrightish, Wall-E's a real film. The series may therefore pan out to be quite formulaic... sad thing is, I feel it may begin to erode the greatness of SW.

This doommongering all seems quite hysterical to me, but regardless, this thread is for disucssing where you think the series will go plotwise, not for saying whether you think you like it or not!

Why hysterical? So far we've seen Anakin and OB1 as main characters. It hasn't taken the saga much further. Ahsoka seems to be a stayre but is linked (even in the trailer) to Anakin. So far we haven't seen much news, no new characters. The plotlines are not adding much to the characters. It only gets interesting when we see a new take on the whole Clone Wars thing.
The original animated series tried well in setting a new style. one exmaple was the Clone communicating by hand signs: it was fairly silent, no dialogue, the animation looked new... But so far it looks slick (but then, so do all computer animated films these days) but it's not much new. Except for the battle droids... they have a new level of stupidity.
So call it doommongering, so far I haven't seen anything substantially new from Lucasfilm to enhance the SW universe.

Well, plotwise, I guess they will keep the Clone Wars up, like those doomsayers say in a more child friendly environment. Also they will probably jump on the time between PT and OT big time...possibly also make one of those CGI cartoons (think Bing Bing Binks...Jar Jar's even more joyful son). And the EU will probably continue to write and draw and CGI about everything they can imagine. If Lucas doesn't die before I assume he's going to make more movies though...maybe remake the OT...he'll certainly wait 5 or 6 years and then put characters from the live action show or the Clone Wars series in the original trilogy (as well as the PT), in an order to delete all signs of badassery.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (p) "AMBUSH"
Jedi Master Yoda is on a secret mission to forge a treaty with the King of the strategic system of Toydaria when his ship is ambushed by Count Dooku. Yoda and three clone troopers must face off against Count Dooku's dreaded assassin Ventress and her massive droid army to prove the Jedi are strong enough to protect the king and his people from the forces of the war.
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (p) "RISING MALEVOLENCE"
Creating panic throughout the galaxy, a devastating Separatist mystery weapon terrorizes the clone Starfleet. Anakin and Ahsoka race to save Jedi Master Plo Koon and his clone troopers in time.
I'm just waiting for the news that b*tch Ventress has finally been put down for good. A good character, her constant returns from near death are getting on my nerves.
It has to happen because she is nowhere around from ROTS to ROTJ. I hope they don't wimp out and have her go into hiding for some decades, only to reappear in the post-ROTJ years.

The fallout from 'Obsession' still hasn't been confirmed where it happens in continuity. Ventress made a possible appearence at the Battle of Xagobah, which is unexplained as it's supposed to be later.
