Lucas and SW are so inextricably connected ("created by Lucas", "written by Lucas", "directed by Lucas", "FX done by Lucas' FX company") that it couldn't be viewed as anything but that.

It doesn't surprise me, given the extreme emphasis on the technical with these films. IMO, the lack of a nomination is due to two things: It may be difficult for some to acknowledge, but the days when a Star Wars movie was the FX extravaganza in a given year, and could automatically be...

But even if all the order 66 business is a work of astounding genius (which I doubt), the Jedi were shown as going down really easily.

And a big Amen to that, Matt. :)

Of course, it would be unfair to say that's the basis for ANY critique of the film.
