My Star Wars nerdness seems to have worn off after stomaching the new trilogy. I do think the Star Wars movies are more popular when you are younger. I won't be getting the Blu Ray versions unless my kids become fans.

RotS was quality (well, except for a few scenes), so I'd be willing to get the original trilogy plus RotS. It's the extras that'll decide if I even get this at all.

Yeah I could care less about episodes I and II. But I did like Sith. I'd have to rank them Jedi, Empire, Sith, New Hope, Clone, Phantom.

4,5,6 ... and 4 and 5 are close. 3's decently close to 6 ... I've liked RotJ a lot less as I've grown older. And RotS was practically everything I wanted from the prequels, minus a few scenes.

Rudy
01-11-2011, 05:41 AM
4 and 5 are definitely close for me too. Easily the two best in the franchise. I do like Jedi but the Ewoks are the big negative for me. Kids might like them but they are a downgrade in my ratings because of it.

So what does everyone think caused 1,2, and 3 to be so bad? The special effects are great, the fight scenes are awesome, the story lines are decent... but they just don't feel right.

For me I think it's the fact that they are not the originals. I think there is just too much difference between the style of movies. I think if he would have made the same movies but did them back in the early 80s they would have been a lot better.

Not enough space. Too much land based blah.

That, and they couldn't have possibly chosen a worse actor to play Anakin.

How can three movies named Star Wars, barely have anything in space for all three of them? I mean, A New Hope has more space happenings than all three the prequels combined.

Hayden Christen's performance in episode II has to be the worst acting performance in the history of movies. I just can't stomach watching that movie because of him.

I think a big reason the new trilogy failed to impress me is that the technology got so good. Lucas could finally make the movie that matched his imagination so he spent all of his time just thinking of tons of ships he could make (and sell as toys) and put all his energy into CGI and the action scenes. The old movies has old school technology so he was forced to spend more time on the characters and dialogue and they ended up better. Seriously, what character was good in the new trilogy? I didn't like Ewan McGregor at all and Hayden Christenson sucks as Annakin. That really hurt the movie. The original characters, particularly Han Solo, were so much more interesting.

Rudy what are you talking about? This is some of the best acting that I've seen - "they're like animals, and I slaughter them like animals"

The funny thing is I don't think he's a terrible actor but he did do a terrible job in these movies. I honestly think it was too much pressure for him. I don't know if anyone has seen Jumper but his acting skills were nowhere near as bad as here.

Rudy
01-12-2011, 07:25 PM
I liked Jumper despite it's 6% Rotten Tomatoes rating at the time. I agree that Hayden didn't do a bad job in that movie although he'll never be known as a great actor. He was really bad in episode 2 because I think it was his first acting gig. Combine that with horrible George Lucas dialogue and you get one of the worst all time performances.

It's funny that many consider Empire Strikes Back to be the best movie and Lucas had very little to do with that movie. In fact he considers it a complete failure because the director went way over budget (I think it ended up costing $30 million and was supposed to be $20 million).

Makes perfect sense in my mind. The writing was by far the best in Empire when compared to the other 5.

The story of I and II couldn't compare to the originals. III was good ... it deserved the Star Wars label, II did ... once the Genosis scenes started ... and I did not, at all. Duel of the Fates is the only redeeming thing about Episode I.

I made the argument years ago that Episode I would have been a good, but not great, movie if it hadn't been a "Star Wars" movie. If the Original Trilogy had never been released, then Episode I would have been considered much better than it was. The primary problem for I was the level of expectations. It could never have reached the level we wanted it to.

The other problem with the Prequel Trilogy, imo, is that George Lucas directed all three. I don't believe Empire would have been nearly as good as it was if Kershner had not directed it. I've also wondered if the Prequels would have been better if someone else had written the screenplay based on Lucas's story ... like ESB, again.

Gary Kurtz also left producing the Star Wars movies after ESB. I think that's another reason why ESB was the peak of the series.

EDIT: Can you tell I've thought about this question before? ;)

My two kids (8 and 5) are hooked on all six movies. Growing up with the original trilogy, I couldn't have been more disappointed in Episode 1 when it was released. For me it was bad because of (1) the screenplay was horrible, (2) the acting was lame and (3) Jar Jar Binks. Ugh. I will say that as the other two were released, they got much better each time.

Now after watching all of these 6 movies at various points with my kids (when it's on, I can't help but watch), I've really grown to like Revenge of the Sith, except as mentioned, Hayden Christian really just blew as Anakin.

Back to the original post, I'd really like to own the Blu Rays as well but will probably wait a couple years for it to come down in price.

See I think the story of Phantom was actually pretty good. Now I agree that it failed in acting, dialogue and not meeting up to expectations and was my least favorite of the 6, but I think it had the potential to be good. But the fact of how the Emperor manipulated everybody and rose to power I thought was a really good plot line. I did think the "how they found" Anakin could have been better, though.

JeffHCross
01-17-2011, 08:40 PM
Oh, absolutely. The story of I had some good points ... but overall, TPM didn't match up to the rest. Too many convenient plot-points. It was almost made-for-TV worthy, in terms of the number of shamefully convenient moments.

Not to mention the number of continuity holes that opened up in the canon ... oy ...

Fair warning, if you start Googling some of the things mentioned in that preview (like a certain glitch), you'll find a lot more about the problems with SW (from a film aficionado perspective) than you'll probably ever want to know. Some of the "problems" mentioned with the DVDs is almost enough to make me buy the Blu-ray just to get (hopefully) "better" quality.

Ole George won't be getting my money this time around. I can't begin to tell you how many times i've bought the Star Wars saga on VHS and DVD. Besides, i've seen 4-6 to death. I was ZZZZZZZZZZ, II was meh. III was the best Star Wars movie since The Emipre Strikes Back. If I had it my way, I and II would have been one movie. Make III the second movie and have the 3rd movie showing Vader kicking all kinds of ass. That would have been a great set of films.

You may have already seen the deleted scene posted at Entertainment Weekly yesterday. We got to see that one and a whole lot more footage that's never been released before. Without giving it all away, we encourage you to go straight to these scenes when you first get the disc. But be warned that you'll need more than 40 hours of viewing time to get through all of the special features on Star Wars: The Complete Saga. That's a lot of special features. And I love special features.

I'm tempted to go pick this up
http://saltlakecity.craigslist.org/zip/3208132483.html


Have the coolest toy in your neighborhood! Approximately 1/3 scale TIE Fighter. 8x8x8 feet but breaks down into 5 pieces for easy transport in a pickup or can haul partially assembled (except for the top half of the wings) on a trailer. Wheeled casters make it easy to move once assembled. Laser cannons are set to fire standard party poppers. Well built out of 3/4 plywood with the wings sheeted in cardboard. Tested to hold over 300 pounds. Cockpit is 38 inches by 38 inches and my 5ft tall son comfortably sits inside.

For those of you wondering: I built it for our Church's AWANA annual Drive-Inn movie night. It is a father/child project where the younger kids take cardboard and build a "car" to sit in and eat popcorn and watch a movie. We kind-of go over the top every year. We built an X-Wing 2 years ago so we needed a Tie Fighter. I didn't have plans, just a sketch pad and ideas in my head. I used this to teach my 9th grader how to use the Pythagorean Theorem and get some practical application to algebra as helped build this for his younger siblings. All the edges to the body panels are 22.5 degrees. The main panels are 16x24, the front and rear panels off those are 16x12, all birch plywood. The wing struts are boxed 8 inches wide, plywood, 30 inches long. They are attached with Simpson 90 degree gussets and re-enforced with 2x2s. The lower half of the wings are 2x4 sheeted in cardboard. The upper half are 1x2 sheeted in cardboard. The wing to strut connection is a compression fitting design. My son has recently grown up and no longer have any use for this... First one to call and come pick it up gets it. . My name is valter.

I thought Episodes 1-3 were fine. 7-9 can be about whatever he wants it to be. It can be 1 year after the fall of the empire or 5 billion and can nicely continue the story or be so... far removed from the first 6 episodes to have very little to do with the main characters (i.e. they could ALL be LONG dead other than C-3PO and R2-D2)

Ugh. This can't be good. The prequel to the original trilogy (with the exception of Episode 3) sucked horribly. Trying to take the classic and make a sequel to them, this could be disaster in the making.Disagree. The prequel trilogy was bad because of the person in charge. And that he was also the director. If Disney is buying him out, I don't see him being the writer or director. Lucas has pretty much said he has zero interest in making 7-9, so ... yeah, I don't see him doing anything more than producing.

If practically any of the authors that have already written Star Wars books had taken control of the prequel trilogy, it would have been considerably better.

Besides, 7-9 are practically already written (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrawn_trilogy).




EDIT: Oh my God, is Disney going to make it rich off this deal. They're also getting ILM and Skywalker Sound. Which means they'll get $$$$ off of practically every movie in production, and cut down on their own production costs (I'm thinking the Marvel movies) as well.

so what video game company does disney now go to to make a new star wars game? any? or do they still use lucas arts?The vast majority of recent Star Wars titles haven't been developed by LucasArts. Force Unleashed I & II were, but there's been a lot of third-party licensing (with LucasArts publishing in most cases) since the mid-90s. And I would presume LucasArts is part of the acquisition anyway.


Well, I'll wait and see. After the abominations (my personal opinion) that were Episodes 1 and 2, I'm hesitant, even with a new person in charge and director.I completely agree with that opinion. Episode I doesn't exist in my mind. But I also know where the blame lies. The property itself is still very strong. The Expanded Universe books have been largely good (though less so as-of-late), the Clone Wars TV series is quality. The only things that have not been impressive since 1995 (when the EU really took off) have been the Special Edition changes and Episdoes I & II. One commonality between all those.

I admit it, I'm a Star Wars junkie... BUT... I am also one of the few people not looking forward to Disney starting up the franchise again in 2014/15. Having a goal of a new movie every two years just seems wrong to me. Maybe I will be wrong but right now seeing more movies just doesn't sit right with me.

It's all about who they have writing and directing it and what direction they decide to go with it. There are so many interesting storylines that they could go with after the original trilogy, but if they do something stupid like "It's Han and Leia's kid as well as Luke and whoever's kid meet up and have adventures" I'm going to be highly disappointed.

I can see that. I'm in the Star Wars over Star Trek camp and never ever got into Star Trek. With that, I was able to enjoy the new one based on the fact that it was an action movie.

Now, if he does that to Star Wars I'm going to be pissed.

He will. He doesn't know how to do it any other way. Super 8 is the only movie he's every done where he hasn't done that and it was terrible because he doesn't know how to write an ending worth a fuck.

Star Wars is going to be one giant lens flare. Everything about J.J. Abrams screams someone that says he "gets it" but, in actuality, doesn't have a fuckin' clue what fans of Star Wars and Star Trek actually want.

Well, it didn't take long for Disney to start planning to whore out that license. Apparently, a report I heard mention on the radio says that in between the triology movies (SW 7, 8 and 9), Disney is going to release movies about single characters, so think along the lines of a movie solely about Han Solo or Darth Vader, etc. It might be used and done correctly to really expand even deeper on the histories and pasts of all the characters, but I can't help but feel this is nothing more than a straight cash grab by Disney trying to suck the wallets dry of every Star Wars fan who "must" see any Star Wars movie released.

I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad thing. It's pretty obvious it's nothing but a cash grab by Disney, but, if they do it correctly and don't just pump out two and a half hours of shit and slap a Star Wars title on it, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. But if the movies are pure crap and they're just pumping them out to rake in loads more cash, then I would have an issue with it all.

Not sure if he ever worked on those titles, but I didn't care at that point. It was just awesome to meet someone who would know those games.

My mom has read some of the books that take place after Jedi and there are a couple really cool sounding setups (the one with the completely dark mining planet and the ship that's basically a mobile death star is pretty neat sounding), but, I just want something outside of having to do with those three characters. I mean, in a universe as diverse and populated as they make the Star Wars universe out to be, there MUST be other heroes getting into mischief and saving the universe besides Han, Luke, and Leia.

If Boba Fett can be a movie (which has already been announced), the Rogues could easily be one. Think Top Gun, the Tuskeegee Airmen, or Red Tails, but in the SW universe.
