Nothing is ever absolute and I really think it opens up the story with grey jedi/sith. <br /><br />The computer games, books, and other forms of entertainment in this universe have been plagued by this restriction. It is good to see it changing slowly and now that Lucas is no longer in charge perhaps it will open up even more in the future.<br /><br />As a point of reference I played the MMO SW:The Old Republic and this is part of what killed the franchise. Every story was so cliche because the writers had to stick to the script.Kevin Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092721842140433268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-57355008428655044462013-04-25T15:23:50.133-06:002013-04-25T15:23:50.133-06:00The one thing I did not like about the original mo...The one thing I did not like about the original movies was the lack of women, which is more than made up for here in The Clone Wars. <br /><br />And I do hate when story lines are cut off.
