It has been very slow here lately, and I think that's because there's nothing down the pipeline to look forward to. I think we're in another period like the "dark years" of the mid-1980s thru the early-1990s.

There was so much wrong with the PT, it's hard to know where to begin. The writing, casting, acting, directing, editing, music (from what I understand, John Williams' heart wasn't in it, especially after TPM), and the FX (no, I didn't care for much of the FX). There were too many sequences when I felt like I was watching a cartoon. I also think that he WAY overused the bluescreen/greenscreen for creating cg environments. Sorry, George, nothing beats shooting on real sets/locations. You saved a ton of money, and it shows.

One of the few things that they got right with the PT was costume design and some of the art direction (especially in TPM).

BTW, I like your signature, Janskeet. I feel the same way. I love ROTJ (the OT version, that is).

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention using real locations and REAL physical sets instead of blue and green screen. That was another thing they obviously overused, and it wasn't good for the actors. It's too difficult to pull off natraul peformances in such alienated enviornments.
