I'm not saying i hated TPM btw.
and if its that bad for you, dont bother to post anymore.
Why should he not post? He's got a perfectly valid viewpoint and he's saying stuff that needs saying. What Lucas has done to Star Wars is abomination and it needs to be criticised again and again and again. Such criticism is far more valid than people praising what Lucas has done more recently, and there's no end of such mindless worshipful praise.
As for the magic, no it wasn't a once in a lifetime thing. It happened three times with Star Wars. Each film of the old trilogy was magical. That has not been the case with the new films.
i'm srry i lost my temper. but you have to see where i'm coming from. its kinda annoying when people diss the PT as if it was not part of the saga. and saying he expected the same magic when walking out of TPM, is a very retorical statement.
Sorry, I don't see where you're coming from. The PT deserves to be dissed and it isn't part of the saga. And I don't see what's so rhetorical about saying he expected the same magic from TPM.
What Lucas did in the prequels was a betrayal of Star Wars and an insult to all of us. Those films don't fit into the same universe as the originals and as such they don't belong counted as part of the original saga. Had Lucas made the prequels properly, faithful to the spirit of the original Star Wars, then they would be part of the saga. But the ones he made aren't. What happened with the prequels was an abomination and needs to be criticised. I can understand somebody liking TPM to an extent, but I cannot understand anybody liking ROTS and AOTC. Those two films are absolute shite and soulless and don't deserve to be liked. Their shallow soullessness is disgusting. Art should have soul and feeling and humanity. Otherwise it's worthless and pointless.
