I saw AOTC and ROTS each 7 times, mostly because the DVD came out so soon I could handle waiting more than I could with TPM.


Nerd. I see movies multiple times, but 4 is my limit.... jeez man...21? Nerd.

I agree, looking back on it, that was fairly excessive. That's another reason I clipped it at 7 for II and III.

I guess I am in the minority here about AotC ... but it was, of the prequels, easily the most well received by the die-hard, midnight-show, opening night audiences at the time.

AOTC is enjoyable the first few times, as is the other two. After that, it starts sucking. Star Wars and Empire just get better with each viewing.

I think they all get better with further viewings. But I'm Lucas' bitch so what do I know.

I contend that if Lucas had made a film showing R2-D2 sailing along on rocket boosters for two hours straight, it would win Academy Awards.

Oh, I quite agree. Except that Episodes I and III started sucking during the first presentation, and AotC lasted a good handful of viewings. Heheh, that makes it the best of the prequels in my book.



(My evaluations of when suckitude set in are based on the opening night, fan-filled, midnight shows in Hollywood, California ... Grauman's Chinese for Eps. 1 and 2; Cinerama Dome for Ep. 3.)

Only heard that about a million times....

Go-Mer, the day you bring something new to the table other than defending and glorifying the PT in every post, I will add the line "I Luv Kittens" into my signature for a whole month.

Hey, if you have some other message you'd have me put in my signature, tell me. There are much more embarresing things that could go in my signature.

What's so embarrassing about loving kittens? I love kittens.

I know I'm probably coming off as the official "Defender of Go-Mer" here, but in all honesty, I still don't see where the hate is coming from. In my "Jedi as Ninja" topic, I thought he DID brings some fascinating things to the table that I previously hadn't thought of--things that had a large degree of validity.

Go-Mer isn't making me like the Prequel Trilogy, but I am thinking about them in ways I hadn't before.

A sign of an experienced troll - make a few allies of some of the more naive members. Makes it harder to get banned and allows the troll longer to disrupt the board, steer the conversations, and contaminate the discussions.

This is ridiculous. None of you are helping matters by bickering.

B/C he's derailing every active thread into "prequel debate 101" or "George Lucas loving 102". He's sucking the life out of this forum. It's on the verge of becoming totally unfun to even visit the site anymore b/c every thread i click on is full of Gomer praising prequel & modern GL suckitude with nothing to really back it up. he has yet to present one shred of convincing evidence to back up his claims that the prequels/SEs are any good, but he won't fricking shut up about it. I've become weary of reading the same tired crap in every thread. GO AWAY Gomer. This is ORIGINALtrilogy.com. NOT prequeltrilogy. NOT specialeditiontrilogy. ORIGINALtrilogy. If i want to read prequel gushing or GL buttkissing, I'll go to tf.n or starwars.com. Leave us alone!

I've been quiet about this for a while, even debated with him a bit, but i've had it. I'll continue to visit the site & read posts, but will avoid anything Gomer's taken over like the plague.

I am just saying they are good to me, and I do strive to back up what I say.

To you they may not be good at all.

I love kittens too. But i'm not going to put it in my signature. That would be rather humiliating to go around with a signature saying "I love kittens."

Right on the dot. Go-Mer is sucking the life out of this forum, to the point where it's absolutely no fun to post or read posts. He derails all threads to lucas loving, has yet to say what's so great about them, and forces his opinions down our throats. Plus, he won't talk about anything else....at all. Said it before, I'll say it again, differing opinions are great when they add to the discussion and bring new life into it, not sucking life out of it and when people can back up thier opinions. Otherwise, find a board where the discussion is all trolls trying to troll eachother.

Gomer, I take my hat off to you for being the finest troll I have ever seen, perfectly manipulating and sucking the life out of a forum. You are a very skilled troll, and I bet many wish they had your skills.

I now put my hat back on and give you the finger. Just Fuck off Gomer.

I never really had a problem with him until the crap that's going on in that 1979 interview with George Lucas that was recently posted. He's bending over backwards to defend his own point despite quotes from Lucas that say otherwise. He's putting his own spin on everything and ignoring anything anybody says that runs contrary to that point, and it's really getting very frustrating. Aside from that, I don't mind his opinions all that much.

The only difference between what I am speculating between the lines and what the rest of you are speculating between the lines is I give Lucas the benefit of the doubt.

Go-Mer ... if you are not a troll ... please state exactly what percentage of the active membership of this board expressing a wish for your permanent departure will result in your wanting to leave and never come back?

If you are not a troll, I would think being entirely unwelcome would inspire you to go away. Only a troll would purposefully stay someplace they aren't wanted.


State the percentage, and I will see about arranging to demonstrate whether that percentage exists.

Failure to do so will be considered ... by me, if not by others ... an outright admission that you are trolling.

I dont' see how your perception of me was ever in my hands to begin with.

Look, I do challenge the negativity here towards Lucas, but I do conceed points when they are backed up.

I'm just not going to be jumping on the "Lucas is a lying hack" bandwagon on assumption and innuendo alone.

I don't think that's being unreasonable of me.

Either you guys feel like backing up the wanton negativity or you don't That's enitrely up to you. Certainly you do not have to provide proof for anything you guys say if you don't want to.

I just figured with the way so many of you act like it's a cold hard fact that Lucas is lying, you wouldn't mind supporting those claims.

This board is headed for a functional meltdown if something isn't done right now. This is getting insane. Go-Mer, all you're doing is baiting people. For f#$%'s sake, they were right. You are trolling! Dammit!

2 facts.

#1. The prequels were worthless.

#2. George Lucas is an idiot.

and a gold star for this one: the Special Editions have nearly destroyed the Star Wars legacy.
