I've seen some of the cuts for Star Wars before the editors got to it...Lucas can make a good universe and a story. Directing it though...not so much. It was the editting that made Star Wars awesome. Fast paced and very 30s serials inspired. What is fortunate is that he would take so many takes they editors could slice them together with quick cuts to keep the "faster, more intense" direction going on the big screen.
The Clone Wars is going well in its fifth year. It might be the final year since it was originally pitched as 100 episode or so long. It might last for a sixth season, but that will have to be a very dark season to lead up the Revenge of the Sith. (Clone Wars Anakin is a lot better than the film Anakin in terms of acting skill).
