when did you see SW first...

I first saw it when I was nine, back in 1997. Until then I hated Science Fiction, because my father would always watch TNG, and I thought Star Trek was the most boring thing ever, and I figured Star Wars was similarly boring.

But I was wrong!

Unfortunately, I wore out the tapes so much, don't even remember seeing it in the theater, except for Jedi.
It was the last night the theater was showing it, at the 9PM night show. My brother fell asleep, but I was determined to see the end.

Good times.

Besides, I agree that the OT is better than the PT. But the PT is much better than you're giving it credit for.


No not really...they started out ok with TPM but that last piece of shit called Attack of the Clones should not even be considered a Star Wars movie.....300 million box office with just about every critic giving it no more than 2 stars....bad acting, bad casting, terrible story....a love story with NO CHEMISTRY between the two...too much information for the length of the film.

And I fear Episode III is going to go the same way....if III is at least as good as or better than TPM then it might have a chance to save this trilogy...but if it is on par with Attack then you might as well flush this whole PT down the toilet...along with the OT that he has fucked up just to fit the PT!



Wow. You don't meet many people who think TMP was better than Attack of the Clones.

The PT was doomed from the opening crawl and here is why

I don't understand how you could consider a movie that opens with the slaughter of two innocent Republic pilots and two Jedi cutting down fifty battle droids "too political."

The scenes in the senate, I enjoyed because it shows how Palpatine cruelly manipulated the circumstances, and lied through his teeth in the presence of Jedi, using the very non-humans that he hated, to gain power and become ruler of the galaxy. He starts multiple Civil Wars in a period of thirteen years, in which millions are killed, all for his own ambition.

But seriously, when has Jimbo ever shown "love" for Lucas. He is just a voice of comparative reason. (Except for his AoTC masterpiece better than ESB non-sense)

I can't stand Lucas myself, but am reasonable enough to realize that not everything in the SE or the prequels is a mistake.

And for the record, I have never been intoxicated, wasted, stoned, or any other synonim for chemically impared, and I make my opinions of my own free will.

Anywho. Back to beautiful women...

Jessica Alba in the new, probably awful, Fantastic Four movie.

First of all, Matrix Revolutions is far from putrid, but I guess it would be hard to convince any jaded cynic such as yourself of that. Why should I bother arguing with someone with an enourmous obcenity in their sig? You lose all your credibilty by insulting a movie you've never seen with a childish manipulation of its name. How can I argue with somenone like that.

Second, I"VE NOT SEEN CASABLANCA. I was not making a judgment on it's quality, it simply doesn't interest me as much as a computer world battle for the the survival of the human race. And I'm sure it is a better movie than TM-Rev, but I really don't care about it.

Obvioulsy that is harsh. Yeah, Lucas could've changed several things that would make the prequels better, but he didn't. He did it exactly the way he wanted it, and because of that, a bunch of jaded cynics don't like it. Which is fine. You have every right not to like a movie. I hate Kill Bill, but I don't go to Kill Bill websites and bash that movie.

Also, you really need to change your sig man! If you must rearange "Sith" do it in small leters rather than a huge logo.

Man... Final Prophecy was good. Reminded me of why I like Greg Keyes. I read it between four Wednesday and Three Yesterday, subtract the time I spent sleepin, doing homework, going to school, eating, you get the picture, ect, then I probably read it faster than Traitor.

For the record, I read chapter one of Traitor before work one morning, and read the rest of the book that afternoon-night.


I so wanted Amorrn to DIE!!!

I hate the word "mystical" I have an aversion to mysticicsm....



But what I'm saying is that the midichlorians don't make the Force any less mysterious. It still has it's own will,
,and things without cells, such as rocks and droids exist in it. Qui-gon Jinn was obvioulsy mistaken when he asserted that life coluld not exist without midichlorians, as we exist, and The Yuzzhan Vong exist with out them. (Which Ultimately serves to make the Force more mysterious.)

I think it is more like that midichlorians channel the Force into a person, not that they make-up the Force.

Maybe it is....

But I have said from the first time I learned that there were people who hated the SE: Yes, some of the changes are unessisarry, but NONE of them "ruin" the movie.

The changes that I like.

The pan back to see Mos Eisly.
Han stepping on Jabba's tail. It almost makes up for Greedo shooting first. Almost...
The new shots for the Battle of Yavin. Then again, the old one may be better. I've never seen it.
The cleaned up speeder fight on Hoth
I liked the Bespin Exterior shots, but some of them aren't good, like Leia in the window.

General cleaning up of the ancient effects. I doubt I could watch the original version without be distracted by how fake the space battles looked compariatively.
