What did we all expect from the Prequel Trilogy?

Truthfully, with all the insane marketing and hype, I didn't know what to expect.

I was 11 at the time, so I would go through wal-and-K-mart in the toy aisles looking for Star Wars toys. There were so many characters I didn't think the movie would ever be able to fit them all.

The point of that anectdote is that even then I knew that the more characters there are, the less character development you can get into a two hour movie. So if anything I was sort of dissapointed that all the plastic used to make Ric Olie action figures was a total waste. Then again, Bossk got even less screen time and his old figures were selling $30 for five inches last time I checked. But Bossk had more character development roaring at an imperial officer in two seconds than Ric Olie or Captain Panaka did in a whole film.

Darn it, now I am confused.

Not that Lucas cares a thing about EU or even OT continuity. I wouldn't be surprised if in ESB he changed Kenobi's "...Yoda, the Jedi Master who instructed me" to "...A Jedi master who instructed me.."

I know that the change is real, Jimbo, I am just hoping that that specific pic is not. It would be really really really shoddy to just reshoot the head and attatch it to Shaw's body. ILM is better than that.

Well, at least skill wise. Ethics, I couldn't tell you.

Who thinks it is about time to ban Jimbo again? LOL Jk!!!!


I don't care about the changes really. Like I said, they don't change much and there are two or three very dumb ones. But If Lucas had just cleaned the film up and not added any CGI at all, I would've been perfectly happy with the SE.

But you gotta admit that the additional length of the Yavin Battle is cool. CGI may look fake, but...

Yeah, would you look at that, they cleaned it right up, Anakin doesn't look quite so old anymore!



Compare this to the original. It is exactly the same as Sebastian Shaw except for the head!
I really hope that that pic is fake, because if it isn't, then that means they didn't shoot Hayden's full body. They just cut and pasted his head!

PLEASE BE FAKE, DARN YOU!

They are still classic movies.

We need to make a distintion here. It is as if everybody (generalization) on this board belives that just because of a few comsmetic changes and two really stupid scence change/additions that the SE is a different set of movies. Why?

The movies have the same actors, the old specail FX are still there and most importantly, the story hasn't changed... So how are they different films than the OV?
