a coherent storyline with semi-plausible characters with slightly understandable motives

cgi used as a backup, not as a reason to make three films to sell your junk to other film-makers

an everyman character that points and cries " bullshit! " every now and then (ripped and paraphrased that one from Hammil)

someone that Lucas respected that wasn't counting on a cheque from George for their next meal, to have the knackers to say ' this sucks man. don't you want to do better ?'


to be honest, I think he got to the stage where he knows he could make a fifth rate movie, and it would still make crap loads of money, and sell a squillion copies when it went to dvd. He could film a carpark for 120 minutes, and people would still pay to see it. I honestly think he just hates us. Many people once they get to a certain stage of success do just loathe the so-called fans and their fawning admiration.


I saw the first two, and thought they were total shit, to the point of feeling embarrassed that I had sat through it and not walked out. Yet, I still paid to see the third one with my nephews while on a visit to their home state. I've seen other movies with them, but I'm sure in 20 years time, the only one we will remember seeing together will be that piece of junk. Ohh, and all laughing out loud when Vader goes " Noooo!". Maybe thats the bond we walked away with? " Man, that George is one angry clown."
