You see, back then we didn´t have a little thing called the "internet" to spoil things like this.

I think it would have been fitting to use him. But then I think it would have been fitting to have made the prequels fit the OT and not retrospectively change the existing films to match some bullcrap 'new vision'.

I think the question of "which film is better TPM or AOTC?' is akin to 'which tastes better horseshit or dogshit?'

Either way it's still a pile of shit in your mouth.

For me I'd say that from a film making and narrative standpoint TPM emerges as the slightly better product. It's a more cohesive whole where AOTC feels like it was slammed together out of the poorly shot leftover parts of something better and edited by a Rhesus monkey with ADHD.

Not that TPM is in any way an enjoyable experience but it's a slightly preferable one, like having to choose the method of one's own execution.

I realise that in some ways AOTC is trying to pander to what it expects a Star Wars fanbase would like to see but I feel it does this at the expense of the narrative and characters. It's a bit like Star Wars porn; poorly written badly acted scene, ACTION, ACTION, MONEY-SHOT, *wipe*, atrociously written disinterestedly acted scene, MORE ACTION, MORE MONEY-SHOTS!! *wipe*.

Maybe I'm just a jaded OT fan who invested too much significance in the minutiae of films I saw in my youth in the late seventies and early eighties or maybe I know what I'm on about and George Lucas should never be allowed near the business end of a pencil, let alone standing behind a camera attempting to direct actors.

"Say, ric, I need some help here, could you get that box up there? I cant reach it."
"Thats impossible, even for a computer!"
"Would you STOP quoting Star Wars for a minute! Geez..."
"Uh... no, because... thats impossible. Even for a..."
"Yeah yeah, even for a computer, real mature. I'll get that box."

Somebody should remind Lucas of the old saying: "Don´t judge a book by it´s cover". No matter how glossy the cover is, the colours rich and how fine the paper is, it can´t hide what´s inside!

I would really like to have seen the documentaries on the upcoming DVDs but I'll just pass on them if they only come with the new horribly disfigured version of Star Wars. If I could somehow get this extras disc on its own then I would. (Anyone?)
