She likely felt that way because she simply saw the PT, and felt the OT was to slow compared to the PT.
Which is a failure on Lucas' part for not being a good enough filmmaker to match the pace and style of his originals. If he had made the prequels in a retro kind of way, mimicking his old style, I'm sure he would have been praised for it and everyone would have said how clever it was of him to make a seventies style film in the nineties.


I don't think his intention was ever to "fit" the PT-effects wise with the OT. And he's not out to impress people. The entire reason he pushed the effects so much on the PT is because he was so happy that he could make it how his original vision saw it, which he never got a chance to do with th OT, where he had to make constant sacrifices. He talks in interviews of how happy he is with the PT, but how disappointed he initially was with the OT. I'm actually proud that he got full control to do whatever he wanted, and didn't listen to any of his co-workers, or any fanboys when making his decisions.


Wel a lot of thing could have been done. Why didn't greedo shot in the original version(he could have easily filmed that), why is jabba now there when he was fully introduced by greeedo. Answer me those question well you can't cuz so many of the changes of the OOT are retarded. Lucas couldh ave made the PT more like the OT if he wouldn't have gone crazy with CGI and he should have used more minatures. Look at Titanic and the lord of the rings and the chronicles of narnia (out friday) used a mix of minatures and CGI and it looks wonderful. Now i have no problem w/ CGI or the archival Star Wars editions i just find his changes riducules because they fucking changes the characters!!!!!

The matte lines are by far the most annoying part about the original films. The are also the most distracting. Everything else I can live with.

Although they supposedly removed them in the newest DVD release, there are still places where I can clearly see them. I do not remember seeing them in the theater when I first saw SW. IT was only when I saw it on LD that I noticed the mattes.

I am with Rob, vote to remove them

God, I hate those things.


I no i see the matte lines also in the DVD's in other areas like (ESB)when Han and Lando are infront of the Millunein Falcon in some place (not cloud city) and (ROTJ) when Luke, Han, Chewie etc are on that space raft thing in the desert about to be killed theres a matte line around there head.

Adam shut the hell up your so annoying. The OT will always be better than the PT(thats why its Platium). Don't get me wrong i love the Pt yes even TPM but the OT is better!!!!

Solo: That is C-3PO

Vader: My C-3PO

Solo: What do you mean, yours?

Vader: I created him.

Solo: No you didn't

Vader: Well up to this point you're right, but there is this backstory and I make C-3PO

Leia: Is that a joke, whose idea was that?

Vader: I believe it was Lucas.

Leia: Wait a second, you are this icon, this badass, choking guards in this movie, blowing up planets, and you created C-3PO?

Vader: It gets worse, see this guy next to me, Boba come here.

Boba Fett: Yes, Lord Vader

Vader: This guy is the clone template for the stormtroopers

Solo: Are you kidding me, what are they doing to our trilogy?

Vader: I am not done yet, Your boy Chewbacca over there is boys with Yoda

Solo: What, he never told me he hung out with Yoda?

Vader: Yeah, it was this quick scene in ROTS, so Lucas could market it to the older fans to get their fannies back into the seats because of the first two turds he put out.

Leia: Please is there anymore?

Vader: Do you know why I am Darth Vader?

Leia: Because you were corrupted by power?

Vader: No, it was a bad dream,

Leia: A dream, did you consult a pshyciatrist?

Vader: No................I never thought of that................I went to this leader of the galaxy, who turned out to be the sith we were looking for, and he told me I could save my wife, but never really showed me, and then she died, and I'm stuck in this suit...............

Leia: That is kinda dumb?

Vader: Welcome to the prequels.


LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
