Love it, love everything about it. All my mates take the piss out of me for loving it so much.
They have bets on how long it'll be before I bring it up at a party or bbq or whatever....
But I also like the PT. Not in the same leage as the OT, but I do like them.
No, it's not what I had in mind when I thought about Obi-Wan and Anakin the early years..but I'm no story teller either..
Yes some of the acting is shite, yes some of the effects are CGI ridden, but thats just the way it is today. I really don't think they could of gotten away with using rubber puppets and stop motion now.
Yes I was gutted after watching TPM the first time......Gutted.
But once I got over the shock, I took it from a different point of view
. By the time AOTC was released I actually quite liked TPM.With AOTC I knew what I was getting. Not so much another prequel to the films I loved, but a sequel to a film I liked, alot.
I know this is just my opinion, but there are alot of people out there who like the new films (Jimbo
) just as much as I love the OT.To this day Empire still remains my fave film of all time, and probably will be my fave film till the day I die
I'm getting really hyped up about 3. From what I've seen and read (yes I'm a spoiler hound...not here though so don't worry) this film will make even the PT haters have goose bumps. It's the SW film we've been waiting 19 - 20 years for. This is the one.
For all it's faults, the new films are enjoyable enough.
I mean at the end of the day they are just bloody films.
No-one is making you watch them.
But I suppose if I had my way I would change them a little.....But hey, thats life!
Peace!!
