Hey Negative1, those lines you just typed from Star Wars 77 actually got an Academy Award Nomination for Best Screenplay that year!
Who's the more fool the fool who takes the time to type all of those lines on a Message Board or the fool who just enjoys the movie:)
In all seriousness Negative 1, you can always debate what is and what isn't corny in every movie, but when you have lines like, "Jar Jar you in deep doo doo!" That shit is literally written for a 5 year old, and is embarrasing that Lucas would put something like that in a SW movie.
oh gee, i'm soooooooooooooooo impressed...................an academy nomination?
well, considering how 'annie hall' won, and its competition was 'the goodbye girl'..........what did star wars end up with ? sound/special effects etc...
yeah, dont' forget who also got nominated for BEST Director that year : George Lucas
right next to my bed, i have a small reference book that i look at from time to time:
-----------------
its a fun short little book, the quotable star wars.............i've always found fun/thoughtful/good quotes in it..
1) i NEVER SAID there weren't childish or cringe-worthy moments in the prequels, i've never denied it..............................but there are EQUALLY BAD IF NOT WORSE
moments all throughout the original trilogy also..
2) guess what, i was 10 years old when i saw star wars, and even back then i knew a lot of that stuff was written at my level, because i could understand it,
yeah C3P0 was embarrassing to watch, r2d2 wandered around desperately trying to communicate, luke bumbled his way through the dialogue, leia and han
hammed it up..................and darth vader over-acted, along with the rest of the 'british' actors..................and just how did the british accents survive that long?
gee, i guess modern cursing, sayings, and culture (not to mention the hair cuts), didn't date this movie as classic 70's fare.................
so whats your point about childishness, target audiences, and corniness?
i guess you could say we're both right...........
'from a certain point of view'.......................................................[groan]...
