Star Wars Franchise
George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, has been criticized for compromising artistic integrity for the sake of financial gain from the franchise.2 The latest installment, the animated feature "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" received generally negative reviews on Metacritic, Roger Ebert noting "You'd think the great animated films of recent years had never been made. The characters have hair that looks molded from Play-Doh, bodies that seem arthritic, and moving lips on half-frozen faces -- all signs that shortcuts were taken in the animation work."3
