Damn, I wish there was a way to inhibit certain users from posting in your own threads... but oh well, I guess I have to be some kind of adult and just deal with it... arrrghh...

Interesting points co, though they're somewhat off topic. I don't care, I like variety.

Now though I've blocked most of it from memory, I see the new trilogy as an unfocused mess that unlike the originals which focused mainly on Luke's journey and of course has many sub plots which culminate in the redemption of darth vader, would have been better focusing on its most interesting aspect, the Clone War and its impact on the characters. As it is now, the clone war just seems like some unimportant little offscreen thing that happened. What the fuck? Ever since we heard of it back in ANH, all of us must have dreamed of what it was all about... but now the mystery is gone. It's revealed to have been a pointless excuse to show off lots of cgi stuff. Wow, just imagine if the clone wars took place over all three instead of being left to those cartoons to flesh out. I never understood that... why not make the war a central part of the films instead of a bit of a scuffle at the end of one movie and another minor scuffle at the start of the next... There's just so much potential wasted doing it that way. It's like a big tease.

The thing is called STAR WARS . So go nuts!
