I will concede that perhaps it is a generational thing and that the kiddies of today want to see a different star wars than the one i am familiar with and grew up with.
I guess being 30 does separate me from the little kids who grew up on the prequels and absolutely love this show. I just wish a more adult animated show could be made for fans of the old movies. Trying to get what we want from George is worse than trying to get blood out of a stone.
I mean we can't get a properly restored and anamorphic theatrical release of the old trilogy, we cannot get comics or novels anymore that have that old style flavor to them, and the animation and games are all about the prequels and clone wars.
Us old timers favorite characters in the Legacy novels from del rey were pale mocking imitations of themselves in a bad story arc that was a rehash of the prequels.
I have to admit most of my fury and lashing out in hatred for the prequels and special editions is because of Lucas constant mistreatment of the original originals and the so called bone he threw us was the gout what a fucking joke that was. The worse part being i had to buy the special edition 2004 for a second time to get it and buy all 3 seperately when a box of the 3 oot discs would have been what i wanted.
That being said i find the comics for Kotor and Legacy to be really very good because their is a lot of story potential there. Unlike the prequels which you already knew what was going to happen in advance. You knew which characters would live and die. Lucas should have hired writers and directors to make either episode 7 or do a series set way in the future or way in the past so they could have a way to create new stories.
The stories perogative should be to move forward i hate all the reboots and prequels. I think They made a mistake making the star wars prequels instead of the sequels and JJ is making the same mistake with star trek when it should be set way into the future and have unlimited story potential.
It is truly sad that the originals today are not flashy enough for kids who have the attention span of a flea to enjoy. Thankfully i can cue up my Laserdisc player and be transported back in time to when movies were actually good.
Okay so i saw the trailer for the sixth Episode and Looks like they have taken some of the complaints to heart and are trying to improve the animation. I saw Lip movement and eye movement and character expression. Now if they can hammer out a good script which is doubtful i would be enjoying this more.
People always forget that i metion i like the Genddy Series and The Republic Comics.
I actually like the Character of Ahsoka in the Series as apposed to her bratty portrayal in the movie.
Believe it or not i actually liked the movie better so far than the series which is the exact opposite of what everyone else thinks. I like Jedi Fighting Sith and Lightsaber duels. The politics suck and I could really do without them as much as possibly and i could not give a frack about these clones. They are just canon fodder for the Clone Wars and were in the prequels as a backdrop to the main story. Sorry George but you are not going to me me like Wooden Stormtoopers who all sound like that Morrison guy you had redub Boba Fett in Episode V.
What did the Prequels do to 2 of the best film villains of all time ruin them horribly. All Lucas Did with Hayden Anakin/Vader, and Little snot Boba kid was make me hate the characters i had found cool in the original trilogy.
