All right, first of all, I was a die hard fan of the original trilogy and have been/was in love with the Star Wars universe until a movie came out in 1998 or so called "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantome Menace". What kind of drugs was George Lucas doing when he made this thing? My biggest problem with this movie was the disgusting amounts of horrible CG animation! The entire movie looked like crap, and on top of that well... Jar Jar Binks. Period. Then I figured that the technology was just new and they'd clean it up for the second movie. 2002 rolls around and well... ugh... even more bad CG and now they seem to have adopted a new philosophy for action sequences. That is "Make everything happen real fast so that the audience can't tell what's going on until they see the end result." Don't get me wrong though because Yoda kicked as and Natalie Portman was pretty attractive. But I don't know how on God's good earth that Haydn Christiensen kid got hired to play Anakin! He made me want to puke every time he spoke!

My solution would be to ditch Jar Jar Binks and the Haydn kid. Also just take Lucas's script, kick him out, and put someone else behind the camera. Finally and most importantly. DROP THE CG CRAP! Bring back the puppets, sets and props that made the first trilogy seem so real and awesome!

Don't ask what provoked this rant because I have no idea. No I'm not trying to make my voice heard or anything because I know my opinion wouldn't make a difference if I crammed it down George Lucas's throat. I'm just seeing if any one agrees, disagrees, or has anything to add.

Whole thing's rubbish so far.
Only - and I mean the ONLY saving feature is the one scene where all the Jedis fight together, and they even screwed that up. (Jedis aren't supposed to die so damned easy.)

I expected SO MUCH MORE from the Yoda fight scene, and everything else just plain sucked. It's like they turned Star Wars into Dawson's Creek. Mace Windu is the only character with any cool factor, and they only give him about five minutes of screen time per movie.

THEY EVEN RUINED BOBA FETT.

I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, but I definitely think the first trilogy were probably some of the greatest Sci-Fi movies of all time. I even liked Return of the Jedi. (Don't kill me...)

But forgive Lucas? Never.

There's no getting around it: Lucas blows nuts. He's a good storyteller and that's about it. He's a horrible script-writer as you can see from the movies. And the two better Star Wars movies, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, were NOT directed by Lucas. George is just a lazy ass with alot more credit than he deserves. He ruined the Star Wars legacy for me and many others. Die George. Die.

American Graffiti also sucked balls.

American graffiti should've actually been about GRAFFITI. A new hope is the best, episodes 1 and 2 lick nuts

More Ewoks...less Jar Jar

I have always hated star wars movies. I don't know why. The whole idea seems really stupid to me. I can live through the first three, but the new ones...it's torture!

"If we do not succeed, we run the risk of failure." - George W. Bush

The old ones are masterpieces...the new ones are pieces of sh** with absolutely no artistic points of view. They were made JUST to bring back the franchise. George Lucas listened too much to what the fans wanted...morons asking for stupid crap and ya got the prequels. What Lucas SHOULD have done is make movies that HAPPEN after Revenge of the Jedi...have Chewbacca settle down with an Ewok and have interracial sex with it. Awesome Possum. I'd pay $8 bucks for that!

Lucas has to stop worrying so much about his ****ting special effects and get back to his story and acting. Stop with the special effects and concentrate more on other things. Lucas could learn a lot from his old self (American Graffitti, the original Star Wars). As of right now Peter Jackson is beating the sh*t out of Lucas when it comes to directing these past few years.

I heard that lucas lost rights to chewbacca and wookies...

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

It's good to hear from some people that agree with me on this subject. All of my Star Wars junky friends just keep telling me I'm evil when I try to explain that these movies have been terrible!

"There's no getting around it: Lucas blows nuts"

as a director, very true (and writer). But he does own ILM, i can give him props to that...(what the hell does he do for it tho)


One of the things that piss me off is the whole lord of the rings thing. Fellowship was rather good, had a great deal of diversity in it and was fun to watch. Not a best movie of anything though.

Two towers on the other hand was quite ****ty. The entire movie was the same thing: legolas, aragorn and gimli running around with the "i want to puke if i see this again" ariel dolly around them. The only thing going for the movie was Gollum. That's it. Even the last battle sucked.

No, you're not the only one that feels that way about LOTR. But I just haven't gotten into that genre/story. I tried to read the book and after 250 pages began hitting myself with the it to ease my pain.

It just doesn't interest me and the second movie, TWO TOWERS made my butt hurt, sitting so long, looking at my watch, etc. It had some interesting parts and effects, but it did little else for me.

I know I'm in the minority on this, but it's just part of my likes and dislikes.

Is it what I say is funny??? Or the name "Kyle the Human"?

The "Kyle the human" was just discussed with Kyuzo & I over the phone...I was wondering why Jabba the Hutt is called, "the Hutt" seemed kinda stupid...me being a stupid guy, decided to be stupid. Thus, Kyle the Human
