Ever since I found out David Fincher, director of such films as Fight Club and Panic Room, worked on Return of the Jedi, that fact has left me inexplicably freaked out. But I think I've figured out why. Fincher is a cutting edge (just like me!) director. (Even though I personally have only thought one of his films was particularly cutting edge, namely Fight Club.) Star Wars, on the other hand, is old fashioned in almost every sense. Lucas may be pursuing the latest and greatest in filmmaking technologies, but they are put into use telling stories in the most threadbare ways.

I had more, but it didn't come out right. So, to sum up: It is offputting when cool and uncool things show up in the same context.
