i always imagined that uncle owen was not related at all, but just a random guy that obi-wan chose to keep luke, telling him what the deal was with luke just so they'd know what they were dealing with, and basically having him do his best to keep luke in the rural life. but then when obi-wan realizes lukes potential and the certain fate of his adoptive parents, he tells him a fable about his unlce and his father being at odds about involvement in wars, helping luke to side with his adventurous nature. but thats just what i imagined, and it seemed cool.

my guess on the matter, apart from everything that happens in the prequels, is that there was simply no way of mounting an attack on the new empire, even in its infancy. it would seem that the clone wars were so destructive and crushing that yoda and obi-wan may have been lucky to be alive at all. Even Tarkin says in ANH to vader, "you are all thats left." and they are both suprised to see that obi-wan is alive. For yoda, it is clear that he is getting very old, and with his strenghth in the force he may have seen years ago that he was not the person to defeat vader. For obi-wan, his purpose in living on tatoine seems to be for the sole purpose of protecting luke, at a distance, which he succesfully does. in this way we can see that even if obi-wan had been strong enough to attack the emperor and vader, the small possibilty of losing the fight meant that there would be literally no hope for the jedi and the rebellion as there would be no one to train luke and the jedi would be truly extinct. Instead he stays near luke and guides the events as far as he can, and it works out pretty well. i think with all the talk in ESB of seeing the future enough to know whether or not to take a course of action, yoda and obi-wan couldve seen that an attack by them just wouldnt have worked out, and that should wait for the son of skywalker. even the emperor knows what a great threat he would be from the start.

watching ROTJ everyday after school around 5th grade (1991), wearing out an old tape, with a version taped off 'wonderful world of disney.' i can still remember where all the commercial breaks were. such a great time.

i dont think arguing is the problem. its arguing that results in people losing their nerve that is the problem. understandably, these movies inspire a great amount of emotion, being good for those of similar opinion and all the more bad for those of differing opinion. i would imagine the webmaster has read some of the altercations here and seen that they're not entirely instigated by that one person we all know, but by others too, and thats why he made this thread. ill certainly do my best to keep awayf from any personal attacks, and hope that the webmaster is able to identify those who simply argue and disagree for the sake of it.

i always really liked the sound of the heavy machinery in ESB in the carbon freezing chamber. like the heavy lift arm and stuff. also heard in ROTJ in certain death star hanger scenes.

everything in the prequels is completely bastardized, watered-down, flitered-out, cut and paste, hackneyed, dumbed down, cop out film making. even some of the music. the movies are truly an insult to loyal fans of what Star Wars once was. taking elements of the old trilogy, mutilating them, and using them to achive pseudo continuity and try to hook newcomers on the two trilogies as one whole is but one small example of why people have such hatred for him.

i really feel that EVERY change was poorly executed on top of being a bad idea. the only thing i can stomach in any of them is the addition of the fire ring coming off alderan and the death stars.

every change is the worst change in the whole trilogy.

additionally, who else does this. i mean, you dont see other directors going back and severly changing their beloved blockbuster movies. he's just a second-rate perfectionist, the worst kind.

Nobody would care anymore because if we don't like it, we can watch the originals.

this is what i mean ^. i'm not saying this board would'nt turn into something else, but the majority of people on here wouldnt even care, because the job would be done.

I've seen it said--but I don't believe it. I really don't.

you gotta be kidding me dude. everything this board and site stands for would be null and void if the true trilogy were released tommorow. i would never visit this site again, and i highly doubt anyone else would.

hey, if we're talking about the first minute of every new star wars movie, all the prequels are great. i always got excited, cause you had no idea how much they would get screwed up over the next 2 hours. so yeah, the first mintue of every prequel is pretty awesome, especially TPM, i was so god damn excited.

Definately m8 - I do wonder over time if scenes from the Prequels will be thought of in the same way?

Yes. Some scenes will be.

Ex. The opening battle of ROTS.

yeah, you mean where anakin pilots that ship to safety with the later half of the ship completely blown off, so that anyone on the ship would have been evaporated upon re-entry, then half and hour of boring fighting that no one cares about? yeah, that'll stand the test of time.

"great" SW films are ROTS, ANH, and ESB, while the threee that "lack" are TPM, AOTC, and ROTJ

nice try dude. however, i think we all know that even with Jedi's shortcomings, it remains a better film than all three prequels combined. period. you've gotta be kidding yourself to think that ROTS as in league with ANH and ESB.

Action wise:
1. speeder bikes on endor
2. hoth battle
3. luke over the pit of carkoon

Dialogue/Cinematography wise
1. luke/vader on cloud city when luke decides to fall
2. luke/vader on death star, right after vader says 'then perhaps she will'
3. han going down in the carbon freeze.

sure they are dude. they're called 10 year old boys. it has become more and more clear. the original star wars appealed to many different age groups, with boys from 13 to 21 being a great portion. these new films are geared for younger kids, and that is a great inherent flaw. its easy for little kids to just love the ships and effects and not even worry about the lack in all other departments, where as 18 year old dudes will pick apart a movie and make sure they know why they like it. that is why you fail George Lucas.
