I don't care what Ady does. ANH:R just proves he is a master of his craft.

Of course George Lucas was a one trick pony with Star Wars.

Special Editions be damned, we still wouldn't be able to enjoy Ady's work without the existence of Lucas. I get why people bash him, but I don't see how we can take away ALL the credit.

Besides, I liked THX-1138 and American Graffiti... not as much as the OT, but still.

I loved THX-1138 and American Graffiti.

Well, it is a trilogy! Sure, Lucas didn't direct ESB, but he still had a heavy hand in making the movie. I'd say ANH and ESB back-to-back doesn't necessarily make him a one-trick pony.

And ROTJ has its moments, as does the PT. I completely understand why people bash the PT, but it DOES have its moments... otherwise why would a lot of us own them or at least know them so well?

If something gets under your skin you become very familiar with it. I will be honest. The Phantom Menace was a good movie to me (jar jar and midichlorians aside) it was worthy of the OT. But ATOC and ROTS just really kicked me in the death stars. I felt as if the films weren't made for the fans anymore. It is like when you find this new un-famous band and you love them for years and then they get a big fat check and an MTV deal and decide to do something completely contrary to what you loved them for. I don't think an artist should go with the mainstream flow, instead an artist should carve their own path and stay on it. I don't mean they can't explore, but they should at least leave some bread crumbs. I would have loved the PT as much as the OT if they helped each other. Instead the PT is some parasite that has attached itself to the Star Wars name. I don't like bashing GL because hell, he is a genius in my eyes. I just think he went with the flow and forgot to leave bread crumbs. It actually seems more like he deliberately didn't leave bread crumbs.

sorry for the usage of the word bread crumb LOL
