I think George Lucas wants nothing more than to troll all the fans of Star Wars to death.

I'm not even a fan of Star Wars, and he annoys the hell out of me.

At least Seth McFarlane is not involved. I am not sure that Star Wars is well suited to a pure comedy anyway.

Oh no, the integrity of Star Wars is being tarnished.
Because that has never happened before.

It could be saved, if it consisted entirely of Boba Fett shooting people, that is.
