I couldn't have said it any better. This movie is shit, pure and simple.

I love this. Any time someone criticizes a movie for being crap, it's always "go make your own". Well, why can't the Director and Creator just make something good instead of throwing a bunch of shit on the screen that he thinks kids will like? He didn't seem to have a problem doing that in 77, but in 2008 he has failed miserably.
You may think it's shit, but it's obvious that not everyone feels that way. At least Lucas is staying true to his vision instead of putting out movies based on poll results. If he had done that, then the Star Wars movie that was released in 77 would have been far different.
He's entitled to his own vision, whether you and I like it or not. Hate the movie if you want, yeah keep trash talking it. But you might be better off if you did something more constructive with your time.
Haha, yeah, because I obviously spend all day here (check out the time of the post before that last one).
Lucas' isn't staying true to any "vision". The "vision" he claims to have is nothing more than revisionist history. Vader being Luke's dad was done for dramatic purposes. Leia being his sister was also done for dramatic purposes and was definitely a last minute after thought. There is no grand vision and there never was. If there were, the prequels would not have nearly the amount of problems and continuity flaws with the originals that they do.
ANH was groundbreaking and a huge success at the box office. Even Lucas didn't think it would do as well as it did. But Lucas also wasn't the only one in control back then. There were all kinds of people involved. It was truly a collaborative effort, unlike everything he's done since the SEs.
It's quite obvious to me that a majority of moviegoers think Tropic Thunder and The House Bunny are better movies than The Clone Wars. How else do you explain that a Star Wars movie premieres at #3 and then drops to #5 after a week? That's unheard of for Star Wars. If I were a betting man, I'd guess that The Clone Wars will be out of the top 10 by next weekend. There's a 3 day weekend coming up and Babylon AD will be released. Even if it does remain in the top 10, I'm sure it'll drop 2-3 spots again. That is sad.
