The last 3 movies including Jedi. Ewoks killed that movie and I can still hear that terrible song at the end.

Nyub, nyub! :D

Seriously, as a die-hard SW fan, I've not been too impressed with Episodes 1 and 2. I was glad though they changed the end song in the Special Edition version of Jedi. Although rumor has it that in the DVD release of the Special Edition version of Jedi, Naboo is added to the montage of cities shown in the celebration scenes at the end of the movie and we'll be able to distinctly hear a Gungan shouting, "weesa free!" This scares me.

Here's hoping that Episode 3 is better... Lucas really needs to stop writing the scripts and just direct the movies.
 
I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan (as you recall, I had until recently a Yoda 'tar that was part of one of my design projects for college). I was however rather disappointed by Episodes I and II. Episode II was all eye candy over a crappy acting base (sounds a lot like Windows actually :D). Episode I though was nearly as revolutionary as the original Star Wars though. Don't believe me? Watch the Gungan vs. Federation Battle Droid and realize that it was all computer generated. I'm not saying that Episode I held a candle to the originals, but to discredit all that work over a few terrible production decisions is a bit ignorant.

I'm looking forward to the Anakin/Vader transformation, I think that it'll be pretty awesome.

In a way that's a fitting comparison though to the last batch of Star Wars movies. After the first 3, Lucas had nowhere to go but down. Likewise, after The Matrix, Neo and Trinity had nowhere to go but down. And they did. :cool:
 
Sorry Guys... I could care less personally.

I never got into SW while I was a young boy... I had other intersts: like reading and learning...

Fast forward many years and most of my peers in HS and College were still clinging to childhood via SW...

Now, most of these people are in their twenties and still argue about the best SW movies and their merits and deficincies...

Sad. Grow up.

I wish Lucas would go away and make shorts for his now teenage kids (whom I am sure now know their dad is lacking in any directorial skills) and leave all these soon-to-be-thirty-year-olds alone.

Good riddance Star Wars, it was GI Joe from the beginning...

Not to promote any illicit behavior of any kind, I'll just say that I've seen the RotJ SE as it will be on the DVD next month. I know it's that version because Hayden Christensen has replaced Sebastian Shaw in the final scene w/Ben and Yoda's spirits. Yes, I did go back and listen carefully and did distinctly hear "Weesa freeeee!" Yes, it brought back bad memories.

The celebration song is much nicer now. Still want to get my hands on the original OT somehow, maybe via Ebay.

Oh, good Lord... So it's not enough that Lucas has to go and ruin the franchise by making these first 3 movies so crappy, but now he's getting his hands on the original 3 and "improving" them? I wonder if Lucas realizes he's bringing down the entire Star Wars universe in a huge flaming ball of crap... There was NOTHING wrong with the original trilogy, and the initial special editions Lucas released weren't even necessary... I'm not a huge SW fan by any means, but I do enjoy the movies, and it seems like I am shaking my head constantly everytime there's an announcement reagarding Lucas and what he's doing to this franchise...

episode 1 was crap episode 2 was crap some how i think lucas has not learnt his lesson.

the originals were the coolest films ever and nothing will toutch them for a long long time, maby in a galexy far far away
 
Sorry for having a dissenting opinion, but I rather liked the CG scenes in AotC. Realize that when you say "They don't look realistic," you're talking about CG versions of FANTASY scenes. Scenes which HAVE no comparison in everyday life. True, the locomotion of the CG creatures and the droids are based on real life bipedal and multipedal motion, but if you actually look at their motion, it's EXTREMELY smooth. It's actually quite impressive. Also, Lucas actually had to make CG Yoda less realistic-looking (in terms of virtual bones, muscles, speech movements, etc) because diehard fans insisted on the crude rubber-Muppets awkwardness used for the original trilogy. If a much more fluid Yoda was present in the original trilogy, would fans go "HEY! WE WANT A RUBBER SOCK PUPPET IN THE NEXT TRILOGY!"? I think not.

I know that this may draw flames, but I really have to say this:
I like Star Wars, I've seen all 5 movies several times each. But, when I watched the original trilogy, and compared them with the most recent two films - if you discount the crappy acting (yes, that was horrendous) - there really is little difference in production values. Why pride yourself on being a Star Wars connoisseur if you yourself know that if it were ANY other franchise, you'd MUCH prefer the CG over rubber puppets? Why the fanaticism? It's almost as if, because you grew up thinking that the original trilogy was absolutely divine, you need to reaffirm and reinforce your childhood opinions by extending the craptacularity of the acting to every facet of the new trilogy. I, for one, see this as entirely counterintuitive.


P.S. - I actually think Jar-Jar was created to lower the bar for the other actors, so they might look like they were doing passable jobs.


edit: P.P.S. - Hector, dyslexics have trouble discerning letter and word order, but holistic spelling errors are rare.

True. I think Yoda was one of the most positive things about the CG in the prequels. They did spend a lot of time making it look authentic and believable that it was still Frank Oz manipulating a puppet. Pretty cool I'd say. And I agree about your P.S. :)

Although others may have commented on the CG not being realistic, I for one, did not – I simply stated that the CG was over the top. I completely agree, it was extremely well done. You’re almost implying though that the scenes shouldn’t look realistic because they’re fantasy scenes. Would you argue the same point about LOTR then? Those scenes are even more fantasy than Star Wars in many respects, and are even more CG-laden, yet I would argue they looked very realistic. Just because something is fantasy is not an excuse to allow the CG to look unrealistic – that’s why the CG is there in the first place! It’s a moot point though, as I’m not questioning the realism of the CG in AotC...

I like how you use “counterintuitive” and “craptacularity” in the same passage. :p As I stated in a previous post, I by no means found the original trilogy “divine” (although many MANY people do), but for me it’s simply the fact that the latest movies seem to rely too heavily on the CG – it’s just a big eye candy show. The original Star Wars and it’s budget of $11M (or whatever it was) has excellent effects, yet didn’t need a $100M+ budget to accomplish it’s goals. And although that’s the way many movies are nowadays, that doesn’t mean they should be that way, or that they should sacrifice story for effects. It reminds me of the tagline of the Godzilla movie: “Size Matters”, and then the clever tagline of the X-Files movie when it was released at the same time: “Plot Matters”. CG alone does not a good movie make, and it just seems like Episode I and II relied way too much on the CG. It was damn good CG in my opinion, but that’s beside the point.

Look at what happened to The Matrix after all. A truly excellent film, an intriguing premise with amazing potential, and not a lot of action when you think about it. Yet look at the sequels – fight scenes and action scenes strung together with a weak plot. They turned the franchise into an action series and ruined it. But I’ll save my Matrix comments for a different thread... :cool:
 
lord almighty, the new star wars movies sucked.

after having seen interviews with george lucas on TV and having seen only phantom menace, i honestly think he got lucky when he made episodes 4 and 5. ewoks should have been a warning to us all that future lucas efforts would suck. little did we know how badly... i loved SW and ESB, but god did PM suck. the *virgin birth* of darth ****ing vader? gimme a break. it's like the guy took a mythology 101 class when he was making the originals and then ran out of religions to raid for inspiration when he made the new ones. oh well.
