out of all the directors who directed any star wars movie, irvin kershner was the best.

geeze! and i thought i was the madman here. it just sounds like you've had a bad day man. he's always signed off with "later".

it also goes against some of the novels, of course that's the EU. and adywan doesn't believe in it.

i felt like a remix of the rancor battle in that episode. it was cool. somehow i think i've seen that episode before. oh, yea. in the clone wars movie special features. next weeks looks even better.

the idea of 3po not appearing til ROTS doesn't bug me, but how will you be able to pull that off with all the scenes he's appeared in?

i thought everyone knew that? lol.

if you want accurate information listen to C3PX. its not a put down. he seems to know wat he's talking about. anyways, i wouldn't go as far as to say its the best thhing on t.v., but yes, a show i look forward to watching every week. it would've been better if it was an hour long episode like startrek, or terminatior or any other show thats and hour long.

good point, the acting and plot and all that may not change, however, from what has been said, lucas had a different story written for the PT way back in the 1980's. wat if he didn't change it?

god, it just makes me more excited to see more of ESBR. awsome work! you done with hoth?

Wow, +1 to skyjedi for editing his post.  It ads a lot more depth to his opinion.

 yeah, the one thing i finally agree with on him.

so far its been an awsome series. i hope tnights is better. little graphic for kids though when ventress sends here saber throught the seat and the guys chest. the decapitation of the clone wasn't too bad. i'm glad they're trying to at least keep some of the darkness in the series.

Yeah too bad it is based on the hated prequels and not something from the real trilogy which has been released as non anamorphic bonus discs.

Maybe base it on the emperors throne room in return of the jedi,lol.

Or maybe Jabba's palace complete with Han Solo in carbonite on the wall.

Perhaps a display case of lighstsaber props and replicas would be cool as well.

 keep crying! just enjoy wat you're looking at.

you're fine. but yea, we all agree which was better. and if we didn't have the technology today to do to the PT wat lucas has done, it may not be all that disimliar from the OT. still, you're right. its a new age, new generation and so on. i'm sure the next generation will be saying the same as we are one day.

you expected that? come on! when i first saw ANH and compared it to TPM there was no contest. and i didn't find the acting corny, the plot was good and actually gave a better view of the sith.

okay, srry, i guess it did deliver for me. damn! i can't comeback on that!

that's nice! i want one.

okay, take deep breaths with me...in...out...Better? now on the mark walking out of theater from episode I and not feeling the magic, that's a no brainer. of course u won't relive that agian. that is a once in a lifetime thing! you couldn't expect a repeat.

I'm not saying i hated TPM btw.

and if its that bad for you, dont bother to post anymore.

Why should he not post? He's got a perfectly valid viewpoint and he's saying stuff that needs saying. What Lucas has done to Star Wars is abomination and it needs to be criticised again and again and again. Such criticism is far more valid than people praising what Lucas has done more recently, and there's no end of such mindless worshipful praise.

As for the magic, no it wasn't a once in a lifetime thing. It happened three times with Star Wars. Each film of the old trilogy was magical. That has not been the case with the new films.

 

i'm srry i lost my temper. but you have to see where i'm coming from. its kinda annoying when people diss the PT as if it was not part of the saga. and saying he expected the same magic when walking out of TPM, is a very retorical statement.

 

Sorry, I don't see where you're coming from. The PT deserves to be dissed and it isn't part of the saga. And I don't see what's so rhetorical about saying he expected the same magic from TPM.

What Lucas did in the prequels was a betrayal of Star Wars and an insult to all of us. Those films don't fit into the same universe as the originals and as such they don't belong counted as part of the original saga. Had Lucas made the prequels properly, faithful to the spirit of the original Star Wars, then they would be part of the saga. But the ones he made aren't. What happened with the prequels was an abomination and needs to be criticised. I can understand somebody liking TPM to an extent, but I cannot understand anybody liking ROTS and AOTC. Those two films are absolute shite and soulless and don't deserve to be liked. Their shallow soullessness is disgusting. Art should have soul and feeling and humanity. Otherwise it's worthless and pointless. 

 its hard to deny it not being part of the saga in my opinion. there are a lot of inacuracies with it and the OT. but in general it answers the questions we all had and filled in the gaps.

 and how can u not see the its not retorical about expecting the same magic in the TPM as in ANH. ANH was a turn in movie making and how we think. You already knew what to expect, somewat, of TPM.

i know ur kiddin' but the lines would have to be a lot more professional then that. of course, the two always had corny acting skills through out the movie.

 its all anxiety! learn to adapt!

 

I'm sorry, but:

where do you get such BS phrases? In those "self-enhancement" books? Are you really so indoctrinated to accept crap in order to "stay in the flow"?

How about: "be individual, have own taste, don't let the spin doctors and marketing wizards put the thoughts inside your mind"?

I shouldn't bash you with such harsh words, but c'mon - if someone throws such stuff in my face I can't help but to reply with painful truth.

i'm srry. i'm not saying don't be your own individual person. i was merely saying that this is how things are and we learn to put up with it.

from wat i understand, george just said he liked making movies for young people. i guess it determins how you define the word "YOUNG". and i wouldn't disagree that clone wars was more aimed at kids. we need a next generation of star wars fans. besides, adults enjoy it just as much as the kids.

i wouldn't mind slave one being edited. should it really follow so close to the Falcon? i think han would've figured out he was being followed. Seeing more of the cockpit would be cool also.

In short: I'm with TheoOdo and others, who say that J.Williams' musical style and R.McQuarrie's (and Joe Johnston's, Nilo Rhodis-Jamero's etc. as well) visual style is what makes Star Wars - Star Wars. I have, like, 4 albums "art of SW" with visual designs for old trilogy. This is the thing I assimilated as a child, and that is why I complain about current state of SW.

 its all anxiety! learn to adapt! But yes, i agree with you on most of that.

I am with negative1 on this one,I actually like and enjoy them all,but they could have lessened the BS from Jar Jar a little,he was way to kiddish,but HELL yes,I like Revenge of The Sith to,but my favorite is still and always will be,The Empire Strikes Back!

and for the SE's of the original's,I like alot of that to,I think in ESB when they added the Windows in the Cloud City that was a definite improvement,much better than the plain ass walls.

again sure some was over the top,but not enough to make me HATE them like some of the people here.

on the jar jar thing, it was similiar for the people when they saw the ewoks in ROTJ. but yes, i agree. i liked all of them and still watch them. TPM and ROTS were my favorites.

i know its hated, but you'd be surprised at how much the star wars fan base has grown.

the only one that really sucked was AOTC. I was in high hopes that ROTS would deliver. thank god it did! the only problem i had with them were all the inconsistencies they had with the original trilogy.
