Whats this continued shit about the new star wars films being utter crap?!!That I hear so much about? They say it as if its Gigli but we know 80% of them are gonna see ROTS when it is released in may , Heck they may even stop by for the premier of the unofficially announced tv show.If its so bad why do they keep seeing it? Some of the people here yourself included commented that this next star wars film looks like it will be better yet you said that the last two times and still do!!!
Guess what Star Wars always was a toy merchandising vehicle , After the first movie was a mega hit in 1979 and again in the 80's even 90's when no movies were even being made or released, I myself was addicted to them as a kid. Hell I still hold on to them as decorations and old child hood trinkits.
We see the original star wars with such overly colored eyes because of our child hood memmory , While I mean no disrespect to the original films ( I too loved them to death) but they had their flaws too its just that we dont notice them as much our past child hood minds have affected our reasoning. But we have grown passed that when we see new fresh unemotionaly filterd out movies they suddenly go hostile agaist it, The first starwars is pretty tame for todays standards yet is still highly regarded despite the fact if it was release now it would be craped on for it more so then the new prequeils.
While it can be agreed that Jar Jar Binks to some agree was a bleemish ,But some people hate ROTJ because of the Ewoks which I didnt mind and loved but I bet its because I was 7 years old when I saw it.The Young Anakin a pest , I still enjoyed that movie and was excited pumped up when I left even though I had seen so many movies least of all star wars to death in my life before it , It was great to see the universe again on the big screen fresh and new , I found Ewan McGregor and that shindlers list guy did amazing performances loved their character Hell I think they killed Gui Gon Jin too early ,Darth Maul even though he didnt say more then 3 lines was pretty cool had a thrilling performance dazzeling his fighting skills with that very unique double bladed light sabre.
Find out how Palpatined duped and trashed the Republic masquerading as a wolf in white sheeps clothing .
Episode II , Didnt have a 10 year as a starring figure nore was jar jar binks in the movie for very long ,It was slower film then any of the rest , It was different ,You see the Young anakin still well intended show signs of rebelion and immaturity. Were Storm troopers came from who Boba Fett was ,Who created the blue prints for the death star lots of action and special fx like usual.While I now see that I would preferd Paul Walker then Hayden he is still acceptable and watchable who knows maybe he improved.
Lucas has lots of shoes to fill and its hard living up to fans expectations or perhaps fans expect to much and dont realize that the quality haisnt deminished you just dont see it in inexperienced childrens eyes anymore.
Thats why adults will diss their children cartoons but wont diss their own child hood cartoons.
