That is a completely different case, where the director intends the prequels to be seen first. Unlike, say, Exorcist: The Beginning.

As if things weren't bad enough, I hear there's a Back to the Future Part 4 in the works. God damn you, Hollywood!


Once again, no big deal. Even if it is bad, it will be cool to see the characters again.

The only plausible plotline for BTTF4 would be for Marty to travel into the future to a time when Parkinson's is cured. Michael J. Fox hasn't been seen much publicly for a reason: the guy is suffering. As far as rumors go, this is a bad one, probably resulting from some line dropped by an idiot first-year marketing exec at Universal in a brainstorming session. Milk that udder till it's dry and then lick off the drops.

I'm not talking about viewing order....there are still certain storywise stuff that is out of wack in the PT to suggest to me that Lucas isn't up to the task of writing anything period.

Well, he fixed the original trilogy for the 1997 and 2004 releases, I'm sure he can fix the prequel trilogy as well for the 2007 release.

There's some story stuff that you just can't "fix" with CGI or re-editing.

I mean things like the Luke/Leia birth scene, which can be re-editied to reallign continuity with ROTJ. Also, the line in ROTJ where Luke says "I have no memory of my mother" will have to be cut.

Surely that would show, a sign of a bad filmaker (not saying he is), if he had to cut lines out of a film made 22/24 years ago to fit with a film made less than 2 years before if done in 2007 just to ensure contuinuty.

Wouldn't be necessary if he had done the prequels right the first time and then there wouldn't be any need to cut or re-edit anything, eh?

Or you could just watch the original version and pretend the prequels never existed. That would much better

I wondered how long it would take before the old Kev came back.

No. You just can't seem to enjoy anything new from Lucasfilm. It's always "I refuse to like this," or "this sucks," or "this is shit." And, to quote you, it is "sad really."

Actually, Lucasfilm's output has been less than stellar these last ten years. Lucasfilm (which is one of those evil corporate STUDIOS you so love to bash) doesn't seem to realize that the cash cow that is Star Wars has been very low on milk for a very long time, and I'm just counting the days till it runs out. The Lucas Empire's movies AND games have been shoddy for quite a long time.

So, maybe I can't enjoy anything new from Lucasfilm because what they've given me so far recently wasn't any good. You can't seem to grasp the fact that the reason we don't like new Lucas stuff isn't because of OT nostalgia, or because we are bent against Lucas. We don't like it because it just isn't any good.

That is a completely different case, where the director intends the prequels to be seen first. Unlike, say, Exorcist: The Beginning.


Well, if you wanna play that game, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" is arguably the worst of the IJ trilogy (but then again, that's like saying a Lamborghini is better than a Ferrarri, right?). But it's also technically a prequel. What if people saw that one, and didn't see the other two because they didn't care for it?

Maybe then, they should just do more Young Indy episodes, if this film doesn't go through or work.

Honestly, I didn't really think the Young Indy show was all that great, either. I mean, it was okay I guess, but nothing special.

Young Indy had maybe 5 really good episodes in its run, but most were 'meh'.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I read "Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils" By Rob Macgregor...........meh.

Games, as in "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis"? Yes, that one was quite good. "Infernal Machine", not so much. "Emperor's Tomb" was pretty good too. My fave Indy game is the "Last Crusade" point-n-click adventure game

I never got to see any of them, although they were shown here in germany as well. So Darabont wasn't the best choice in terms of script writing for Indy 4 (as far as I know he was one of the writers for the tv series)?
