Oh Christ no I don’t think I could handle another trilogy

Christ please don\'t tell me your serious :eek:

the fett\'s are the most over rated characters in ANY story line.

The sad thing about this whole saga is the fact that when we do finally receive the original trilogy of Star War\'s on DVD, it most likely will not be the true originals. It will be the SE re-released, special effects version. Lucas has been quoted as to saying that is the only versions he wants to release on DVD. \'Tis a shame really that so many young people will miss out on the classics, before Star War\'s was just another CG tech demo for  the Lucas\' camp. Will I get them? Yes. Will I be happy? No...

Oh and speaking of Star War\'s, I read somewhere that Episode 3 is most goin\' to focus on Anakin\'s love and that he won\'t actually cross over until the last 20 mintues or so of the film. If that is the case, I see this new trilogy as a complete waste of time. It breaks every rule of Lucas\' own words once.

He once said that the first movie was suppose to set up the characters, the second place them in an impossible situation and the third was suppose to close the characters and see them prevail. He has abided by none of these rules.

yup 20 min\'s max

everything has aready been set-up via Ep 1 & 2

so in Ep 3 there is no pointless drivel and diffidently no need for point plot explanation.

Heh..

The final battle with Darth Maul is one of my favorite parts in the entire saga

Ah. Darth Maul. The only \'bright\' star in the dark sky of The Phantom Menace.

The saber-fight was thrilling for a while - but the excitement vanished completely once I foresaw the inevitable...

heh, I think darth maul was a bit of a prop, actually. still scary mary.

I also think all this lucas bashing comes from the "lets bag ep1 bandwagon". The people who liked Pearl Harbour suddenly become the authorative source on Film Artistry when it comes to the new Star Wars Trillogy. I don\'t buy into the whole "LOOK AT ME, I\'m SMART TOO!" thing. Episode II comes second to Episode V, IMO, but that\'s just me.

no its not just Ep1 bashing

its Prequel thing

like I said GL has 20 years[/i] to devolve a Strong powerful Script for Ep 1 to 3.

but from the looks of things (66% through the prequels) it looks like he just made it up just before filming.

I think it is Ep1 bashing. There\'s no question in my mind that George was waayy to lenient on the actors on that one. The thing that ruined it for me was Jake Lloyd\'s performance, more than anything. Jar Jar is kinda me when I\'m acting :cute: (but its retarded now cuz I\'m so old!) Somehow, people just can\'t get over that and its carried over to Episode II. Episode II wasn\'t bad at all; it certainly doesn\'t deserve half the crap thats being thrown at it from here.

no not me

i was enjoying Ep2 right up till the battle with Jengo fett (first cheap attempt to get some action)

Than there was the Clone Army / Droid Army CGI FEST which looked Plasticy and blury.

Yup beleve it or not the "romance" part didn\'t bother me that much.ok so it was a bit long but hey thats no crime

and then to finish it off the Yoda Vs Doku fight..which looked like a episode of the Gummi Bears.

FFS i never though iwould say this but with just that 3 1/2 min battle they managed to kill of Yoda\'s Credability.

Hey i nearly burst out laughing at it in the theatre when i saw it for the first time , I honestly thought it was some kind of joke.

Did you forget about dropping out of the flying car falling forever, and then landing on the correct flying car?

Episode 1, and 2 is filled with quite a few inconsistencies as compared to ep 4,5, and 6. One quick one is that yoda is the one that instructed obi-wan. Anyone remember Obi-Wan multiple times telling Luke that Yoda instructed him?

Teehee, that Yoda instructing ObiWan bugged me quite a bit. That whole "yoda taught all the jedi when they were young" (remember the map scene) slant, sits very oddly with me - it seems a bit half assed. But when you think about it, it isn\'t all too strange. After Qui-Gon died, who keeps telling Obi-Wan what to do? Yoda and Mace. By Episode V, who\'s still alive? Yoda! Obi-Wan isn\'t going to tell Luke to go to dead Jedi, he\'ll tell him about Yoda!

Sammy, you\'re knocking some of the best parts of the movie now. All of the action scenes were flawless, technically. I even thought that the clones were real people untill I read they were all CG (prolly to cut costs!). Yoda fight scence, big Clone Battle, big Jedi Arena battle, loved it fully. But its clear you\'ve developed a bit of a prejudice; I can see how u might not like any of George Lucas\'s new work.

I just loved how it was executed.  He was built up as this big badass who could fight beyond them (somehow) and very little else was known.  Then as the whole group were nearing their destination, and victory was upon them.. they ran up to the final door, only to have it open (in an upwards direction) and Darth Maul was standing there, head down.. in all his glory.  Then......... the music hit  Gives me goosebumps every time I see it.

And apart from the whole high-speed chase scene at the start of Episode 2, I loved every minute of it.  What I particularly love about Episode 1/2 (and most likely 3) is how it parallels the events in Episodes 4 - 6.  And shows the slight differences that led to Anakin going to the dark side, and Luke to light.  Even though the major event is yet to come.

IMO, AotC is second only to RotJ.  With ESB in a close 3rd.

I\'m glad that you are able to enjoy them...

Despite the lackluster prequels, I am waiting forward to Episode III. Might be a killer.

episode 1 sucked,

episode 2 was good, not great, i disliked seeing jango fett face, the whole thing about boba that was sooo cool, was you never saw his face, so it left it to your imagionation..

well i hope the best for episode 3, i hope gl doesnt make more, but a better director will make the rest...
