I Hate George Lucas!

I like George, no matter what he adds to the films that does not take away the memories I had of them and they are still a joy to watch, the first trilogy that is. After all, George gave us one of the best, most impressive openings in a movie that has yet to be bested 30 years later. No one has yet matched the impressiveness of that Start Destroyer flying over the top of the screen, no one.
George revolutionized the sci-fi genre. I think we were expecting him to do it again or at least go for par. When he failed, the kid in us cried foul. Why? Because you don't mess with childhood icons, legends, and innocence.
Disappointed? Yes. 1-3 could have been much better and we can all live without the merchandizing that Lucas flooded us with. Be that as it may, Star Wars was my first movie.
Thx, George. -
Well I like the THX/TAP sound system that has revolutionized performance in cinema sound playback. Not just for the STAR WARS films any film and Ive seen many in the substandard way but nothing as come near or even close to the might THX performance of the EMPIRE Leicester square in Londons West End nothing!
Its the most powerful JBL THX cinema in the whole of Europe with 56KILO WATTS:eek: with Abyssal low end depth of unrelenting sound pressure Earth Quaking Saturn V Thundering Shaking Force anywhere in the United Kingdom!:p :cool:

I re-watched Episode 6-Return of the Jedi tonight. Everytime I saw Vader I wondered why was he still walking around in that ugly armor plated suit. It just didn't make sense anymore:
In Episode 2 we learned that technology was available to make perfect cloned copies of human beings.
In Episode 3 we learned that technology was available to transplant the brain, eyes, and vital organs of a sentient species into a mechanical body (General Grievous).
In Episode 3 we learned that Vader had his remaining natural arm and both legs sliced off and that he suffered 3rd degree burns over the rest of his body and damaged lungs. His physical injuries significantly lessened his ability to use the force (and eventually overthrow the emperor).
Seems like Vader would have had a new body cloned and had his brain transplanted into it. Since those who are strong in the force can manipulate the minds of weaker individuals, another possible alternative would have been for him to just transfer his mind into the new cloned body and avoid the risks of surgery. He did live in a magical galaxy where such things were probably commonplace...especially for those strong in the force.
Was this ever addressed in any of the Star Wars novels?

And why wasn't "Lord" Vader ever referred to as "Master" Vader? :eek:
I think because it sounds too much like a "lonely man sport" if you catch my "drift":eek: -

CGI Yoda over Jim Henson's?!? No effin' way. NO NO NO NO NO.
Not buying it.
Yoda going all Mary Lou Retton and performing a quadrillion backflips and frontflips is the most ludicrous piece of garbage mine eyes have ever witnessed.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

Because... it's a movie? A Sci-Fi movie no less? Originally made in the 70's and 80's? You guys expect a bit too much out of it I think.
I hope you don't analyze "Armageddon" or "The Core" this much, your heads will explode If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
No...
but what's the deal with "Deep Impact"? That one is fraught with fallacies.

1 billion % correct......
In what way was there a way to make Greivous in 1977 ?????????
In the 70's and earler 80's there was only props, costums and puppets!!!
30 years later and your still analyzing it..... It must be one hell of a movie...lol
Vadar was not the master, Sidious was. Sidious beat Yoda, beat Windu (in a way) wiped out almost all Jedi and ruled over the Entire Universe alone in the senate and with Vadar for over 20 years.
He is the Master.
And some stil wonder why Vadar was in a costume....when the story is so much deeper than that....
Alot of big SW fans, like myself, dont care (so much) what it looks like, rather the story line. If you were to read the Expanded Universe, I garrentee you would fall in love all over again with SW.Monitor 7b's front

Absolutly correct, Greivous was not a jedi or a sith. Greivous was only trained in the arts , so he could afford to only keep his brain.Monitor 7b's front

The Midichlorians are not The Force, they only communicate with The Force. The Jedi can 'listen' to the Midichlorians for guidance. -

If you think they are bad about over analylizing SW, you oughta go read the "Battlestar Gallactica" forum at "scifi.com". Those people are complete freaks. I love the new BSG and thought it would be fun to read and post there, but could not stomach those people at all."SOME PEOPLE CALL ME MAURICE,

Someone who has not caught on by now...just needs to forget about it and go watch Regis and Kelly...lol:eek:
Like watching Big Brother or Survivor..If those games needs to be explained by now....then those poeple who need explainations of how the games work, dont need to play or watch it...

Yeah... like I haven't watched the first three films (the TRUE first three) over a million times apiece:p
Sitting back and overanalyzing the minutae of these recent steaming piles doesn't appeal to me. That is to say -- "You can pick all the kernels out of a ****. But at the end of the day, it's still a ****."
That's what my nana used to say while plowing the fields. And shucking corn...
In all fairness, I can enjoy Revenge of the Sith on certain occasions. I can even say I've watched it about five times.I never had it like this where I grew up.

could you imagine the opening part of lord of the rings when the ring gets cut of and the dude blows up, I would pay just to see that part. I knock pictures off my walls when my sub goes off during that. that place would probably peel my contacts out of my eyes2 CHANNEL

Reading through this thread and understanding (not necessarily agreeing) just about each point raised in each post, makes me realize why my family still refers to the fact that I (eventually) lost my virginity as "The Miracle"
"If the global crisis continues, by the end of the year Only two Banks will be operational, the Blood Bank and the Sperm Bank. Then these 2 banks will merge and it will be called 'The Bloody **** Bank'"
