you're right we didn't help write thing. But we did pay tickets to see the movies. All the millions of $s that are now in Lucases pockets, started out in our pockets. Yeah we didn't write the thing but we did foot the bill and then some. If there are no movie fans, then there are no movies. I think that gives us the right to criticize the work. Technically it all belongs to Lucas and he can do whatever wants to it. But, does that make it morally right for him to do whatever he wants and ignore the fans and treat them like s***? no.

If Lucas decided that the whole saga would look better if there was a big red X accoss the entire screen on every frame of all 6 films, would you be ok with him doing it? I doubt it .

i understand that it is your right to critize, however i was talking to a person whose name is "fans own the trilogy" just because you pay a ticket to see a movie does not mean it belongs to you. without the millions of people that paid for spiderman comics and movies and so one spiderman would not be around, does that mean that spiderman belongs to to the people, no it belongs to marvel. no movie would ever be made if once it was released itr didnt belong to the maker but rather the people that see it.

i thought it added more depth to the story. maybe it made the characters a little more fleshed out but the story was deeper.


why doesn't that suprise me? *sigh*


to me , while technically its not continuity problem, I just find it highly improbably that noone, not Vader, not Obiwan, not Palp, not Yoda, no one in the OT uses the words "Chosen One" or "Prophecy". It just bothers me when in Lucas invents stuff that wasn't there to begin with. The character of Quigon is another example.


your right its does add that, but you never know maybe lucas will add thing like this in his 2007 versions. we already know he doing a bunch of continuity shoots maybe he will add some of them.

I think it's more a case of those rules are way above you and you're standing below them jumping up attempting to grab them but they're just out of your reach.


that would be the case if i was were trying to put grammer into my writing but was failing in the attempt, i think you all know me well enough to know that i jsut dont care.

you bring up some good points but they are not nessaraly valid. quigon says that midichorians are in all life forms and it is they that tell us the will of te force. midichorians dont create the force they are jsut used to harness the force. and not anyone can use the force, we are always told the force is strong with this one and stuff like that, does that mean that thy can use it more then others, why can the use it more then others, because of their midichlorians. thats just my take on it.

I DO agree with u thou midichlorians do kinda take the mystery out of it, but they do still make sense in a round about way.

Bleh, I guess you'd have to see it.

I think his Star Wars stereotypes are just idiotic. Just because we have an opinion on the prequels we're now labeled as clueless virgins, playing D&D in our basements discussing how bad the prequels are and how bad Lucas fucked them up. I've excepted them for what they are, I'm over it, but I still think they're just average films with great special effects. Quite honestly, I don't give a shit about the prequels anymore.

Having the OT on DVD is what I really want.


great wel your not one of the people that he is refering to, but there are alot of those on this site, many have come and gone.

I have some questions and could the eminenly wise person a few posts above mine please answer?
1. What is a true Star Wars fan, exactly?
2. How does liking Ep1, 2 or 3 for that matter make them NOT a true fan?
3. Is it fair to be such a damned Nazi towards them, just because they happen to like a movie?

Now be honest, if someone walks up to me and says "Pearl Harbour was great", I kick the bastard. But come on, sucky as Star Wars can be, it isn't deserving of that kind of vitriole. I don't think I've seen a single thread called "Things you LIKED about Episode III". It's all full of people so preoccupied with trying to promote their image as tasteful folk who know something about movies (it ain't fooling anyone) that they really can't see past their own pimply noses and say 'well screw it, it wasn't THAT bad'. (Seriously, you want a bad film, go rent "Gladiator" or "Double Team").


hey i think your refering to me. ok

your first question, i never said someone wasnt a SW fan. a SW fan is someone that likes Starwars overall.

second question not sure how it relates but liking EP 1 2 and 3 would make you a SW fan.

third one well i being a nazi to people that dise movies and the people that like them for no reason other then to dise them.

you can say what ever you like about me but i found some of the puppet effects detracted from the movies. thats just me. and merging in CG is messing with them too much. the extended vader obiwan duel in ANH was horrible IMO in the 2004 editions, it was too cutty.


they extended the duel in the ANH 2004 DVD edition? I didn't know that. As for the puppet effects detracting, I don't think they detract anywhere near as much as
some CGI effects do (IMHO).


no they didnt, however i thought i heard somewhere that the did. as for the puppets ditracting and hte CGI detracting, i agree they both did in some situations, its all a matter of taste and personal opinion one which one detracted more. i personally feel they detracted in equal amounts.
