Poor George has just gone digital crazy. I heard him say on an interview
once that if he could go all digital, including the actors, he would.
Shhesh. It's sad, really, that he has spent so much energy on the SPFX, that
he has lost track of the story and the magic. My entire family are huge
Starwars and sci-fi fans, but we were all very disappointed with the most
recent efforts.
