1. You sat through all 3 in the cinema

Aye!

2. You own them all on DVD

Well, not TPM (VHS). If I can get the old 2-disc, I'll buy it.

3. You think they help the Saga

In certain areas, yes. In others, no.

4. You keep the Lucas versions as the real thing and not fan edits

Yep.

5. You dont mind Jar Jar

As long as he doesn't step in puddu or sniff farts.

6. You think it was cool to see how 3P0 evolved

Yes, but I wish he had not been involved with Anakin and Owen.

7. You would defend Hyden in the same way you would ark

Dunno. I certainly don't think he deserves all the immature heckling ("YOU RUINED STAR WARS!").

8. You realise Plot holes exisit only becuase they enable other things in happen as Lucas wanted

Nah, not really.

9. You would pick the PT over the HS

Haven't watched the HS in its entirity. Gimme a few days!

10. You have a ton of PT stuff

Well, no.

11. You think Darth Maul is kick ass

Damn right he is!

12. You dont mind seeing Famous people in Star wars, seeing as they do a good job at acting

I dare you to say Ewan McGregor sucked.

13. You watched the Clone Wars Cartoon

Nope (no Cartoon Network).

14. You are looking forward to seeing the TV show

Yeah.

15. You hope there will be no PT:SE

Depends what Lucas intends to change.

1. You sat through all 3 in the cinema - TPM once, AOTC three times, and ROTS six times.

2. You own them all on DVD - Of course, right beside the OT on DVD.

3. You think they help the Saga - In most ways, but not all.

4. You keep the Lucas versions as the real thing and not fan edits - The Lucas versions are the ones that I consider "the story," but I watch the others occasionally for comparison.

5. You dont mind Jar Jar - He's OK. Not great, but OK.

6. You think it was cool to see how 3P0 evolved - Yes, and the Clone Wars series helped that.

7. You would defend Hyden in the same way you would Mark - Nope, they are both mediocre actors. Like father, like son.

8. You realise Plot holes exisit only becuase they enable other things in happen as Lucas wanted - That's true, but that still is no excuse to fuck up parts of the ALREADY ESTABLISHED story.

9. You would pick the PT over the HS - That is too difficult of a question for me.

10. You have a ton of PT stuff - Not really. I only focus on the films and books.

11. You think Darth Maul is kick ass - Yep.

12. You dont mind seeing Famous people in Star wars, seeing as they do a good job at acting - IF they do a good job at acting.

13. You watched the Clone Wars Cartoon - Of course.

14. You are looking forward to seeing the TV show - YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15. You hope there will be no PT:SE - Actually, I would LOVE to see a PT:SE.

Okay, lemme just answer the old one...

1. You loved Jake Lloyd in Phantom Menace

Nope, but I think he did okay. What were you expecting to see? Little Ani force choking his playmates?

2. You think that George Lucas planned the entire backstory in the 70's, so you blame all the plotholes on the OT.

As others have said before me, he did have a backstory. It just wasn't fleshed out. But the plotholes are courtesy of the PT, no doubt about that.

3. Your least favorite Star Wars movie is Star Wars.

Not when it comes to all 6 of them, but it might be compared to the other OT installments.

4. You hope that Yoda goes cgi in the next version of Empire and Jedi

Fuck no.

5. You hope Palpatine and Yoda appear in the next version of Star Wars

They better not.

6. You'd love to have Duel of the Fates added to all the OT lightsaber fights

No way.

7. The Padme/Anakin romance scenes did not make you laugh and the dialogue in those scenes was perfect.

They didn't make me laugh, but they were a tad awkward.

8. You LOVE seeing Hayden at the end of Jedi

Yeah, but I think he needs to do a re-take for the obligatory "archival editions".

9. You think the PT would have existed even if the OT had never been made

Eh... what?

10. You think that all three prequels will stand the test of time and be even more popular 20 years after their releases than the OT films were.

I think they'll age well, but the popularity will never surpass the OT.

11. Jar Jar Binks did not bother you that much. In fact, you secretely like him.

See my earlier post.

12. You think Dex's diner is way cooler than the Mos Eisley Cantina

No, but I did like Dex's diner.

13. You wish Vader had a new love interest in the OT

I'm not into S/M, so no.

14. The OT films look like they were made 50 years ago to you

Nope.

15. You don't understand half the stuff that happens in Phantom Menace but you love it anyway

It certainly got more understandable with AOTC and ROTS!

It really irritates how people keep claiming that the PT had to be made now because the special effects necessary to make it hadn't been invented until now. And it especially annoys me when people think that's the reason the OT was made before the PT. True, the special effects are mostly what carry these movies, but there's hardly anything in any of them that couldn't have been accomplished to some degree with the effects made for the original Star Wars movies.

lucas still used alot of models more than even the ot trilogy combined, so saying he had to wait for the technology just seems like bullshit to me.

Hey, I really prefer this list!

1. You sat through all 3 in the cinema
>> Yeah, of course! Those films have been made for theatres! What could be the pleasure to watch them in DivX?!?

2. You own them all on DVD
>> Yeah, of course (again)!

3. You think they help the Saga
>> Not really... The PT give us cool infos (and some not so cool...), but questions with no answers are often more interesting than answers, I think.

4. You keep the Lucas versions as the real thing and not fan edits
>> Yep. Even if I don't like all he has done, I've always though that this was HIS vision, Star Wars is HIS creation.

5. You dont mind Jar Jar
>> You know, before seeing PTM, I was really worried about this character, but finally, I don't mind him. But I must say that I find him just useless...

6. You think it was cool to see how 3P0 evolved
>> Not really... In a way, I was glad to see familiar characters, but I would have prefered not seeing him (and R2) in the PT, the fact that they have been part of ALL the saga is not really realistic IMO. But concerning the evolution of 3PO, yeah that was cool and really well done.

7. You would defend Hyden in the same way you would ark
>> No opinion on that. I don't really like him, but I don't really hate him...

8. You realise Plot holes exisit only becuase they enable other things in happen as Lucas wanted
>> Yep.

9. You would pick the PT over the HS
>> Hell, yeah!

10. You have a ton of PT stuff
>> Not really. I don't collect SW stuff anyway, only reference books and videogames.

11. You think Darth Maul is kick ass
>> Hell, yeah! Really cool character!

12. You dont mind seeing Famous people in Star wars, seeing as they do a good job at acting
>> Correct. Ewan is the best exemple.

13. You watched the Clone Wars Cartoon
>> Yes (and I don't have Cartoon Network either olzen, the episodes were available on starwars.com and now exist in DVDs...). The series is pretty damn good! One of the best animated series I've seen.

14. You are looking forward to seeing the TV show
>> Oh yes! I'm really wondering how it will look like.

15. You hope there will be no PT:SE
>> Replacing TPM puppet Yoda (really too different of the OT puppet AND the CGI version) with the CGI version would not bother me...

Here are the changes I would like made to the PT:

TPM: Replace the puppet Yoda with CG Yoda (which has been confirmed that they have done).

AOTC: Restore the scenes in Padme's parents' house, as they not only add depth to the overall story of AOTC, but they also strengthen Padme's story, the love story, not to mention they let you know who the hell that man and woman are at Padme's funeral in ROTS!

ROTS: Restore scene of Yoda landing on Dagobah and restore all of the Rebel Alliance scenes. (Rick McCallum hinted around at the Dagobah scene being restored)

I don't agree on that. I think that those scenes were pretty much useless, and were not made in "Star Wars style". I mean that the 1st time I saw thoses scenes on the DVD, I was glad that they were deleted, cause they sounds too much "american family comedy" than SW IMO.

Even if I love that scene, I think it was better not to see it in the movie, cause the end of the movie is concentrated on the fate of the skywalker family, and there's already too much infos in this part to add this one IMO.

Even though I dislike TPM, I still think Darth Maul is pretty badass. I just got pissed that they killed him off at the end. Maybe that's why I'm pissed at the PT.

I really don't see where most of the Maul hype comes from. I mean, he looks badass, I'll definitely agree with that, and he's very good with a lightsaber, and he pioneered the double-bladed lightsaber. But he's really nothing. They didn't do anything with him. He had no character. He was just this silent guy with spikes who died like a punk at the end of the movie.

Hmm. Kinda like some bounty hunter we used to know. I guess I withdraw the complaint.

Well, they had several boks that revealed his history, such as Darth Maul: Shadowhunter. And then, of course, he apeared to Anakin in a dream in Jedi Quest: Path to Truth.

Darth Maul is exactly that, but what's the problem? I mean, I think it was the all point of this character, to just show a small part of the incoming "menace".

And more than that, everyone here (including me) yell about the lack of mystery due to the "deconstruction" of many charaters, revealing too much infos of their backstories, in the PT. Darth Maul is one of the few characters who are still mysterious. I think it's a good point.

Man, Darth Maul was why I liked TPM. Because he was mysterious. If he hadn't died, and then developed over the next two films before Anakin killed him and took his place at Sidious' side, that would have been cool.
Author

Yes, that definitely would have been the way to go. But that just leads us back into our recurring argument, "Awww, why didn't they have a lasting right hand man? Why did they keep killing them off? We never got a chance to get attached to any of them. Damnit, Lucas!" ^_~

Just a little self-deprecating humor there.

Yes, it's one important problem in the PT, it would have been really better to have only 1 (and Palpatine, of course) "bad guy" in the whole trilogy, as Vader in the OT. Darth Maul could have been a good recurent "bad guy", as well as Grievous IMO.

Nah, I'd go with either Maul or Dooku. Even though Dooku has a lame name, I hated Grievous. Most annoying villain this side of Scooby-Doo.

Has anyone ever noticed the striking similarity between Grievous and Terak from The Battle of Endor? I mean, they both die from burning from the inside out, and they both talk in that same deep voice, and both are leaders of an army. Everyone knows how he takes his ideas from his earlier stories, well maybe Grievous was inspired from Terak.

Hmm, I thought Dooku was decapitated, not burned to death from the inside... ^_~
