Is there any reason why he should start now?

Man maybe he shouldn't have even gotten in to films. Then we could still be enjoying crappy special effects with mono sound.

There is nothing more funny then the constant talk of special effects by a PT gusher, cause Specfial Effects rates as #5 on my list of why I love the OT, but it surely seems to be #1 for the SE/PT lovers.

Here is what appeals to me in the OT movies:

1. The Characters (Han, Luke, & Leia are the three greatest good guys in all movies)
2. The drama (mostly from SW & ESB, very few moments in ROTJ have really good drama though)
3. Story (Even though it has a basic good vs evil message, there is still alot of stuff going on in the backround)
4. Mythology (ObiWan/Luke talk in SW, Yoda/Luke training in ESB, Luke/Leia talk in ROTJ)
5. Special Effects (That is why I still love the O-OT, it is just icing on the cake)
