Yeah right. By the time Lucas dies LFL will be so full of yes-men that there will be no one who cares any more about the OOT.
Why are people ignoring this thread" Isn't what I posted important? Are you going to berate me for what I said?
You'd better work on a viable theory of time travel, captainsolo, because that's the only way you will ever see the OT again. I would die of shock if there wasn't a horrid video release of SW. I entirely bet that there will never, ever, ever, EVER be a future release of the OOT that will be done to modern video standards, and anyone who believes otherwise is huffing gasoline fumes. The ultimate bitch of all this is that such a great trilogy was created by some backwater hack (Lucas) who feels films are never complete, and they can be altered whenever you have enough cash to add in more fucking special effects. SW will suffer the exact same fate as Lost Horizon and we are powerless to do anything against it.
I thought TPM was going to be a continuation of the SW universe and was going to be amazing... and how did I eat my own words.
I was thinking more like all the wallflowers in the Jedi Council.
We know Lucas, he'll make fifty more Indiana Jones films, even without Indiana Jones. He's already made 26 Indiana Jones films, if you count the Young Indiana Jones series.
LOL
I wonder if they'll add even more useless shit into the ROTJ ending; plus, the OOT will be released in VHS quality (on Blu-Ray for god's sakes!)
I think Lucas included Lee in the PT in order to make an homage to the British Hammer films, which had Lee as Count Dracula.
On another subject, Portman in ROTS was just cringeworthy and I wanted to choke her just like Hayden did for her painful acting performance.
Unfortunately, ROTS has an 80% rating compared to ROTJ, which has a 77% rating
Yeah, when I see Star Trek it will be like going to a funeral I don't care about.
I dont know if anyone has seen this, but I think it could be quite relevant:
Ditto
For me it was me hearing on Access Hollywood "AOTC was good, so that means TPM was just a fluke" (seriously), and at the same time critics saying that AOTC was slow and boring. Plus, it felt to me that the OT's spirit was never transferred in to TPM in the first place.
Same Here. It was a day of epiphany for me to learn that the PT was bad (in 2002!), but I had kinda felt a bad feeling about TPM beforehand...
What the heck is a Punky Muffin?
Well, the odd Star Trek films are always bad, if I remember my rules correctly. (and all I've seen of ST was the first season of TOS and Wrath of Khan)
I find it interesting that you brought up Koepp in this discussion, because he also wrote the lost world, war of the worlds, and the upcoming angels and demons. But I'm not going to see Transformers 2 because I don't really want to subject myself to another Bay film; unfortunately, Transformers to me represents the zeitgeist of our era, despite being hardly a good film.

We're in the age of destruction, my friends...
Plus, Vader in ROTS sounded like James Earl Jones acting like Hayden acting like James Earl Jones, if you can wrap your mind around that.
Well, Spielberg did direct the Lost World and War of the Worlds, so he isn't a virgin when it comes to making bad movies.
Thanks, SkyJedi, I almost completely forgot about the GI Joe movie (with Dennis Quaid(!?) I believe)
Yeah, I was shocked that Qui-gon died in TPM. (And subsequently disappears from the PT)
Anyways, the sad thing about this film is that this is the best we got out of the PT. I honestly gave the first two films of the PT a chance, but until I realized how bad the whole PT was I simply cannot watch either film anymore, unless I want to mock the hell out of it.
Unfortunately, when the SW Blu-Ray finally shows up (I'm guessing 2-3 years from now) they will make you pine for the 04 versions. And when, if they ever, decide to release the OOT on Blu-Ray, it will most certainly be the same LD port we have now. To think the SW Blu-Ray will be any good is asking for the impossible. I am certain that even in 2020 when Blu-Ray itself bites the dust the GOUT will still be the standard.
On the Abrams Star Trek, I honestly think it will be horrid at best. I've chosen to see it simply because it appears to so bad it worth wasting $10 to see yet another franchise bite the dust. Which is sad because it is now certain that every single fucking franchise that was adored in the last 35 years will be pulverized into pure unadulterated garbage by their own creators (as Lucas with the PT and Indy 4), or by some outsider (Bay with Transformers or Abrams with Star Trek). Eventually each summer just brings another destroyed franchise limping into the theaters, and it is our unfortunate duty to watch it all burn away. I just can't wait to see what 80s franchise they'll maul in 2010.
Which will never happen in this timeline
One by one, we will die off, just like each frame of the OOT is slowly decaying in the LFL archives.
BTW, did you know that are over 200,000 CGI shots in ROTS? Well, assuming a rate of 24 frames per second...
Unfortunately, the original negatives have been destroyed to make the SE.
More like a 2- Hayden barely conforms with the Anakin that was sketched in the OT, and switches from N'SYNC clone to serial killer in the tip of a hat. Yes, Lucas poorly directed his actors here, but using an unknown actor who has shown his talent in a very small handful of work for your main character is just poor casting.
