The prequels were supposed to be about Obi-Wan, and how his hubris brought about the Fall of the Republic and the deaths of his brothers in arms.

Instead they were about a whiny sissy-boy who was tricked into turning evil and then just embraced it for no apparent reason.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

*facepalm*

I know what you mean

Forgive? I don't know if I would "forgive" anything. This type of thinking seems foreign to me, like Lucas is some dysfunctional family member that we have to come to terms with. He is an artist and a custodian of national treasures and he gets judged the same way anyone else in his position would be. Did people "forgive" Ted Turner because he released the black and white versions of his colourized films again? I doubt people think about it in those terms, but I'm sure they are greatful he did so. I am also sure they still dislike the fact that he had the nerve to colourize them in the first place.

The OT SE would still represent a butchering of a classic. People have the right, and are right, to complain about the sheer existance of this.

Lucas would have still repressed the OT for well over a decade and impeded a lot of people' enjoyment of their art and culture, as well as sullying the memory of those films. This should not be forgotten, as though it didn't happen.

Lucas has more to attone for his actions rather than "I'm sorry." In fact, restoring the OOT wouldn't even be saying I'm sorry. Lucas would never say or feel such a thing. IMO all it would be was, "here you go, please get off my back now," even if this seems like a cynical perspective of mine.

Would the resentment die down? Of course. But in the larger picture, Lucas cannot undo his actions and change his past. He can lessen how harsh history will judge him, but what is done is done and that fact alone is not worth forgetting. Everyone has to live with the actions they take, even if they redress them later.

Jebsus Zombie, you're in a mood today.

He's got a point though...

Nah, I'd leave bela until the next film.

It'd be more fitting

That's actually a great idea!

Thanks!

Maybe someone should do an edit of TPM which replaces all the CGI with the type of special effects there were in 1946!

I meant in terms of style. Everything would be stylised to look like the film was made in 1946 (Hair, clothes, technology i.e. buttons and switches and valves, lighting.) but the special effects would be done with models, a la the original films.

That is sooo true.

:(

I remember the exact moment that I realized the prequels sucked. I was watching 'Attack of the Clones' in the cinema and was completely bored during that opening chase scene, and then when that morphing lady got shot with a needle and the lady's face morphs into something really fake. At that point I wondered why the effects looked faker than the original films. After that point I was fairly annoyed at the rest of the film, and my annoyed-ness increased as the film went on.

Another thing which irritates me about the prequels is how everything looks even more advanced than the original films. I personally would have the technology in the prequels be clunky-er and cruder than the original films, Robots like R2 wouldn't appear until perhaps the third film. Also the prequels be complete Retro-fests as if they were made in the 40s, 50s and 60s.

(Episode one/1946) Anakin is 18/19, Obi is 20/21

(Episode Two/1951) Anakin is 24/25, Obi is 26/27

(Episode Three/1966) Vader is 49/51, Obi is 51/53

(Star Wars/1977) Vader is 60/62, Obi is 62/64

Yes, they are indeed.

Best shoes on the planet!

Pfft. As if. They break at every possible moment. The soles are too thin. Completely useless.

Have you seen TMBTM's Sharksploitation edit?

Weird, yet epic also.

I looked at a big arsed DVD of Jaws limited collectors edition at a store a few weeks ago in a folding case (second hand at £25), with loads of ship that aint in my 2 disk DVD.

Went back to go and get it yesterday, and.......

The earth blew up.

AOTC is the best of the prequels.

Nah. JJ Abram’s Star Trek is the best Star Wars prequel

There was a time when every off-topic thread was in some way about Bond.

It sucked then, and it sucks now.

Indeed.

Mix up move quotes or GTFO Bond-talkers :p

Q: Does my Mom remember you asking her to the prom?

Hold on, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't bring anyone's mother into this, she ain't here. And if it weren't for your mother, you wouldn't be here. So remember when you're putting down one mother, you're putting down mothers all over the world

Yeah, Penguino, I don't think Asylum's copycat films should count. They do that for everything, on purpose.
