I had to start this thread because of points made by 1977 in the Gay or Asian thread.
How many of you die-hard, grew up with Star Wars fans TOTALLY HATE Phantom Menace and Attack of the Cloans?
I in fact don't even consider them. Do you know how horrible it's going to look to watch the last 15 minutes of part 3 and then watch part 4?
I dread it more than almonst anything else.

much like the fact there is only ONE highlander movie, there are only THREE star wars movies.

Reaper, before you knock Sci Fi fans, how many non-design topics do you start or contribute to? Star Wars is far from the worst thread on this site.
There was only one good Planet of the Apes movie too.

whats star wars?...isn't that some crazy missle program ronnie regan dreamt up?

yeah .....
the "matrixing" of cinema.
we walked out of the 4th star wars... whatever it was called ....
the passion of the phantom menace or whatever.....
i always figured less is more.
and with the new star wars films ...
more is less.
the more you can do with digital technology, the less "weight" the film seems to have.
this isnt true with all cinema ....
lord of the rings was really captivating.it had soul.

i read somewhere that lucas was going to re-do howard the duck, except replacing howard with a fully digital character.
no changes to the moive other than that.
what the fuck is wrong with lucas??? does he need a foam helmet?

I loved the original star wars as much as anyone (especially poor Greedo), but Lucas as a filmmaker is totally overrated.
It's the actors that made the first three, some chemistry they had between them.
Now everything is stale, boring, safe, and even offensive (jar jar and the chinese trade union). I guess actors need real people to interact with, not cgi suggestions.

I want my money back from that fccer George Lucas for those last two moneys and from Wachowski Brothers for Retarded 2&3. (Yes I re-evaluated my position on 2 after watching 3).
How do you go from Bound and the great Matrix to the final crap they made?
As for star wars... let’s file a class action lawsuit against him. He raped my childhood memories.

nice idea propa.
It's just going to be hideous.
Item 1:
You're going to have this super futuristic all aerodynamic parts 1,2,3 and then part 4 with the "fastest ship in the galaxy" that looks like a garbage can lid with a bite taken out of it, totally devoid of any aerodynamic component save for a cockpit window.Item 2:
Look at Parts 1 and 2 so far, the bad guys (can't remember what they're technically called)
are robots that pop out of spacecraft and roll into place for battle.
Now think about 4,5,6. What are they? They are Storm Troopers, which are humans in the storm trooper uniform.
How do you go from one year to the future and revert away from something so technological as fighting robots, and divert to fighting humans?
Doesn't make any sense.I think about this ALL THE TIME. Lucas is a total moron with regard to this. He is interested in $$$$$$ and not in providing a decent story. Most die hard Star Wars fans are probably content reading a book about what came before Star Wars: A New Hope.
God it's sad. Lucas has none of my respect for 1,2,3.

what are Cloans?
just asking....

NERDS...
In episode B193v44 Capt. Kirk uses his left hand with the phaser, but in the next scene it is in his right hand...
NERDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright alright alright some geekdom here. Lucas is first off doing this as its his story, its how he intended it to be. As for mgs' pointed out flaws, shiny robots and fast ships etc. Thats part of the story if you paid any sort of attention, the world before the 4,5,6 movies was an awesome place filled with technologies beyond belief.... then the empire happened. shit fell apart... wal-mart syndrome i call it..... Yeah'll I'll agree phantom menace was really hard to swallow, but for any avid star wars fan attack of the clones was so going in the right direction..... stop dissing a movie simply because you rate your sw iq on the number of pairs of SW underoos you shat yourself in and more on the stories you pick up in the books, comics and cartoons along the way.... GL is simply making money doing what he likes, who cares if you buy into it with your fascist idea based on three movies that were intended to simply spotlight a glimpse of an entire 'fairly' creative universal story.
P.S.
I rant too hard after midnight... meh.... sorry to offend ;)

Personally, I'm one step wore on this one... I only consider there to be TWO star wars movies. Everything they said about Jedi in "Clerks" was valid, IMO. That one can go away as well.I disagree that it was just the actors, the first two movies had style and class; there was a story back when he was focused on telling one. Now he's just barfing pixels and trying to tie everything together. Yes... Everything... everything MUST TIE IN. When did he get this obsession?
If you haven't played Knights of the Old Republic, please do so... it takes place 4000 years before Episode 1, so your chances of running into a relative of Luke's are thankfully slim.
