Thanks Master Sifo I Kind of hoped I was going to find a website with old school Star Wars fans I remember how special the times with my dad were when we would sleep out for the first 2 films. There was no way other people couldnt have been brought up the way I was when it came to these films.. I mean im a regular guy now far from the nerdy guy I was way back when but I do realize how much of me has come from the original movies. With all the shitty things going on today to me its important to see things and remember what dreams and human values are all about. I have no problem with the movies being dark they were supposed to be about Anakins fall to the dark side. But cmon now Vader.... turning so easily... was he that naive?? Was what Palpatine told him enough to kill children so coldly?? Its one thing to kill from afar but to strike down physically the way he did and turn so evil so quickly?? The problem here was the first movie I think....... the story evolved much to slowly and made Lucas rush through the final two... But again maybe Im giving Lucas to much credit... Ive heard to many evil quotes from him the last couple of years and even though I am a star wars fan, I am a man, a father, and a human first.

Thanks that was alot better honestly..... I appreciate the good dialogue... I really dont know when you started watching Star wars and it feels like u do love it as much as I do but dude I mean Im using quotes from the OT because that is what came first. As far as Leia being Lukes sister being a lazy way out which I take is what u were trying to explain then why did Yoda tell Obi wan there was another when they were discussing Luke. I mean when in the new trilogies do you get a scene with such a wonderful musical score and feel as you do when Luke tells Leia the force is strong in my family ........ those scenes were what made Star Wars what it was we didnt have CGI back then it had to be story. And what ever happened to the beautiful explanation about what the Force was aka Empire Strikes Back when Yoda was expaining that the force was in the rock, the tree, you know the rest...... Why do we have to know about Midichlorians......... In the past the force was something you felt....... now it is something you have to be born with......... Know what I mean??? Im not hating at all....... its just a little frustrating.. So many other Star wars writers get it better than Lucas and he is the creator...... Look at Grievous in Clones Wars (which Lucas approved) and then see him in the movie.....

I remember how my father and I (Thank you Dad I will always love you) spent a night sleeping in front of a theater (like so many other people at that time) waiting to be able to view a film that had caught the wonderment of a culture everywhere. Star Wars is a part of who I am and not just a film for me. It was a way of being. It has been a reminder of how to live my life. I will always be grateful and thank Lucas for HELPING to make me the man I am today, but Lucas what’s wrong with you?? What’s wrong with the star wars fans?? Cmon now what’s so hard about accepting that Lucas has changed?? It all started with Lucas going “gulp” star trek on us by actually taking the mystery of the force throwing it out and explaining to us about some dumb creatures called Midichlorians?? Star wars fans don’t feel offended by this? How bout Padme die?? Search your feelings and go back with me to Return of the Jedi at the Ewok Village... a twin brother and sister are talking... Exact Script… ***Luke- Leia... do you remember your mother? Leia- Just a little bit. She died when I was very young... Luke- What do you remember? Leia- Just images really... feelings... Luke- Tell me. Leia- She was very beautiful, kind, but sad.*** The scene is beautiful and all us "real" Star Wars fans cannot separate this from the Star wars Lore... its a shame it never happened... Padme died so Leia couldnt remember her mom now could she??? No this was not Organa she was talking about she remembers her mom being beautiful and sad. She Knew her mother, very young does not mean infant. Another point was brought to my attention of all people by my 12 year old son. At the end of Revenge of the Sith Darth Sidious tells Vader that he killed his wife and unborn child in a fit of rage. In reality this would be a beautiful and memorable line to bad it doesnt make sense. I mean if you had been trained to be the most powerful assassin in the galaxy and found out your mentor had lied to you those many years ago, would u take it lightly? Would you, no... could you continue to follow an individual that stopped you from raising your child?? That separated you from your family by claiming you had killed it??? How could Lucas claim to have made this story so long ago and never noticed these discrepancies? There are more, many more if I talk about the new trilogy as a whole. But its depressing. I don’t mean to be negative people but I really loved My star wars, maybe I grew up, maybe I should get a life, but I just wish George would have kept this poetic and beautiful not just a work of wonder graphically. If Im wrong you guys gotta help me it would be wonderful to recapture such an integral part of what I thought was real. George, congratulations on all the money you make with these movies, your family will forever be grateful. I for one though hope u can feel the pain u have caused some of us. The part of us you have ripped away. I for one will not sell my beliefs for money or bow under the pressure of political correctness. I for one see these trilogies for what they really are, YOUR trip to the dark side.
