starwars is one big sci-fi cliché.
__IMHO!

it's about style.
i really dug the maximum emotional effect out of ultraminimal setting.
i generally don't like (and it seems i am pretty much alone in this, but who cares..) movies that are jampacked with SFX like Alien and Starwars, because IMO that distracts anything, from story to emotion to motion and composition.
IMO.

i just finished watching it, and to be honest.....im so glad Lucas did not overplay the special effects on this. it had the right amount and touch to the film and i really believe this dvd is a masterpiece...
but the principal photography and visual effects were astounding....

aye all to his own opinion- tho i gotta say the old star wars films had a great story and brilliant characters. cliche'd or not, it was done well.
and be careful not to confuse 'cliche' with 'genre'.
say if you were to make a movie about a gigantic samurai robot destroying a city- WOW, fantastic.. but hey its a cliche, better not do that one.
also- if transfatty landed thx onto your laps you'd be all over it.

Great re-release. Perfect use of post conceptual graphics too. I loved those new panning shots of the droid factory and the accident.

You can buy both versions on DVD, try to find a way to see it in the theatre... it's an experience.

ok. saw it again since a long time yesterday. the new release is aceand the aestehetics are absolutely great and marvellous. the story is, well, halfcooked - but still worth some thoughts.
i personally like the scene the most when THX sits in the cell asking questions and the answers come from the tape. that made me shiver...
