Here is a full look at the half completed hub

I really like this. Is this going to be finished early? The original timeframe was "fall 2015" but it sure seems like it'll be done well before then.
I remember reading an interesting article in Entertainment weekly about Jar-Jar Binks and the actor who played him (Ahmed Best I believe). During shooting, everyone was convinced that Jar Jar was going to be the breakout character of the new films. Instead it was considered at best loathed by fans and at worst a racist characerture Suffice it to say they'll be no Jar Jar (or Gungans) in future Star Wars movies.
Dreamworks biggest problems is they start out with some clever original movies (Shrek, Madacascar, HTTY Dragon) and the tend to run them completely into the ground. What's kind of amazing is the movies tend to be really wonderfly animated, but targeted squarely at kids, and with the sequels this problem gets worse and worse. (I liked the first Madagascar, while 3 was terribly unfunny.)
The smartest way to make animated movies is to make them for EVERYONE. Disney is really good at this. Dreamworks started out that way (again Shrek - which MADE DWA) but now makes mostly hollow kid-joke films. (HTTYD maybe the exception)
