I actually like that name. Yeah but your bringing the same ideas and thoughts that have already been mentioned a thousand times before, why not just go TFN everyone loves the whole saga there. This forum is to bring back the original trilogy to DVD unaltered, so why come here and ask "why doesn't everybody like the PT?" And all your ideas on how the changes make this "badass" and that "better" make we want to vomit. Oh, and welcome to the board!

If that were the case, he would have fleeced you already for the OOT DVDs.


I didn't buy the toys, lunchboxes and such then and I'm sure not buying them now, all I want is the OT on DVD. If you like being fleeced on the new crap go ahead.



What?


Exactly.

Sorry Tony, the "PT" blows not only because of the "CGI" but also the horrible acting, directing, writing, the whole thing. And I will never acknowledge the PT as part of "STAR WARS", never!

Nothing that you say is mean to me, I don't care what you say. You keep mentioning about me going to therapy but I never read your original post on it and I won't either. And since your posting as a woman now, I think we all know who needs therapy.

We'll just do what Lucas did and rip off other stories and movies, its easy, slap a couple of explosions together, some poodoo jokes and you'll be frothing at the mouth, and you can get the toys at Wal-Mart!

People that have a problem w/the Droids in PT

I'll agree in *part*, Hardcore. As far back as I can remember (being 34 now) Lucas had in mind that the droids be the glue that held the trilogies together. Part of that inspiration, I believe, comes from the film 'The Hidden Fortress' which is told from the point of view of the two bumbling peasants/losers who ARE Artoo and Threepio. Actually SW is *incredibly* derivitive of 'Hidden Fortress' but in a good way- go watch the two back-to-back and see what what I mean.

That said, the WAY that GL went about including the droids is mostly, IMHO, crap. Not even getting into Artoo's 'enhanced' abilities either. I can see no reason at all that Threepio should have been built by Anakin nor why Artoo should have been the property of Anakin. The droids could and should have been included, but more in the background and not as part of the main action.

Just my 2 cents.


The Hidden Fortress, the force is strong with this one! The more people dig the more GL's "vision", isn't quite what it seems.

I tried to boycott EpIII but couldn't...I have failed...I am weak and pathetic


I for one also boycotted it...yet I have succeded...I am strong and resilient.


By the way, in contrast to Smith, anyone care what filmmaker(s) of our day hasn't lost the faith? Trey Parker & Matt Stone of course!

When asked about "Star Wars," most celebs rarely brought up the controversial prequels. When they did, the memories were often unpleasant. Such sentiments were summed up by "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone when they were asked what they'll remember.

"The original 'Star Wars' movies," said Parker.

"Yeah," echoed Stone. "The feeling I had when I liked it."

"That movie was our religion," said Parker. "It was basically saying, 'Hey, there's this power out there, and we can all sort of tap into it, and it's us and it's everything, and anyone can do this.' And then suddenly the new ones came out, and it's like, 'Well, no, it's all genetics. It's all in your blood.' "
"Horrible," Stone said of the prequels. "Beyond all the wooden acting and the stupid fights and all the terrible scripts, the very core of 'Star Wars' was ruined in these new ones. The idea that you're born with the force is so anti the original 'Star Wars.' Even though George Lucas made them all, he's wrong."

When asked which character they hate the most, Parker doesn't miss a beat: "Anyone in the prequels."
"Anything in any of the new ones," Stone agreed. "They don't exist to me. I don't even know what you're talking about. The new 'Star Wars' don't exist in my reality. Lucas is just an insane guy up in San Francisco now."





Now that I couldn't have said better than myself. Well I already posted that the PT doesn't exist to me and I'm still wondering what Vader was like before his change, and the mystery that is Fett, guess we'll never know.

That was uncalled for. He attacked the considered changes, not you. He has the right to think more changes to the OT will be crap. I predict this as well. I wish Lucas just leave the OT alone. I ask again why change the OT to fit the PT instead of making the PT so it fit with the PT in the first place?


Exactly!

Or what? What the hell are you going to do? Anyways, this is a forum about perserving the OT for the fans and perserving it from Lucas. You think there might be people on this forum who loathe the PT? Again, subtlety not your thing.

i understand that it is your right to critize, however i was talking to a person whose name is "fans own the trilogy" just because you pay a ticket to see a movie does not mean it belongs to you. without the millions of people that paid for spiderman comics and movies and so one spiderman would not be around, does that mean that spiderman belongs to to the people, no it belongs to marvel. no movie would ever be made if once it was released itr didnt belong to the maker but rather the people that see it.


All of that in beautiful lower case. You obviously don't get the subtlety of my name, but then again you like the PT so subtlety is probably not your strong point.

i thought it added more depth to the story. maybe it made the characters a little more fleshed out but the story was deeper.


why doesn't that suprise me? *sigh*


to me , while technically its not continuity problem, I just find it highly improbably that noone, not Vader, not Obiwan, not Palp, not Yoda, no one in the OT uses the words "Chosen One" or "Prophecy". It just bothers me when in Lucas invents stuff that wasn't there to begin with. The character of Quigon is another example.


your right its does add that, but you never know maybe lucas will add thing like this in his 2007 versions. we already know he doing a bunch of continuity shoots maybe he will add some of them.


And what a bunch of crap that will be.

I get a knot in my stomach whenever I see those two images together. Seriously. Same actor or not, its like someone is sticking a hot poker into my memories and saying "f** you! f** you!!!!". Not even getting into dialogue changes, but it NEVER bothered me at any age that the image of the Emperor changed between films. NEVER.


My sentiments exactly. He looks like creature from the "Jeepers Creepers" Movie, which is probably a better movie than the 3 prequels put together.
