he is fucking up the original movies... George Lucas has got to be stopped! By ALL means necassary!

hoojchoons:
He has already fucked them up. The new Star Wars episodes were far more inferior than the original ones. It's really a shame...

I hear this over and over and over. I personaly see no diffrence. Tho I think that the remasterd trilogy was a bit of a mistake, and I deffinetly think Lucas should leave well enugh alone.

But in the end, I don't see what is so "inferior" about his recent offerings. They are basically the same in quality.

Cheesy acting... no one tell me there was good acting in the origional trillogy, I'm sorry, but sometimes the dialogue was as if they were reading from the script.

Fun story... I don't think Star Wars was ever ment to be more than fun action adventure. People take the stuff WAY to seriously.

Great Special effects... this certainly has not changed.

Granted, things like the midi clorine and the virgin birth are a bit dumb IMHO, and should have never been added.

I hated Anakin in the first and second movies, and belive it or not I never really minded Jar Jar, I mean seriously, C3PO got pretty annoying at times in the first three movies and Jar Jar basically fills the same nich. But anakin is a whinny brat in the first and second film. I can't see him ever becomeing vader.

Can you imagine darth vader whinning to the emperor about he he never lets him do what he want's etc. HAHAHAHAHA!  :D

Calum:
conceptually i don't see anything wrong with this. I was a huge fan of Roy Thomas' fantastic comic book series "the All-Star Squadron" in the early eighties, what he did was he coined the term "retroactive continuity", basically he rewrote all the stories published by All-American, National, and Quality comics from the first half of the 1940s (the period of the original All-Star Comics number 1 to about 12) and basicall wrote a lot of little stories that fitted inbetween to explain why certain characters didn't remember certain things, why this happened or that didn't, where Superman and the other big guys were during Pearl Harbour, why the All-Stars didn't just whup Hitler's butt in a day anyway and so on. It's very convincing and it was well done, so conceptually i see nothing wrong with Lucas doing the same thing here.

Also, might i add that i have never seen the original movies, i am going to wait and see them all in order you see, i have seen ep1 and ep2 but not any of the originals. by the time i have seen ep3, it looks like i may have multiple versions of 4, 5 and 6 to choose from! It is a pity that Lucas has decided he is too doddery to make 7, 8 and 9 though, i can only hope that somebody will take up the reins for this feat.

While i applaud retroactive continuity as a concept, i groan in awkwardness at some of the proposed insertions, i will personally help with the asswhuppin' if ms Portman does turn up as a ghost. Also, i reckon Jar Jar Binks should have been shot. preferably BEFORE the start of episode one. He almost had a reason for being included in ep2, but only just. Maybe this can be rectified when the retroactive continuity scissors close in on these films in their turn?

Master of Reality:
i didnt like Episode I. the kid who played Anakin sucks at acting; throughout the pod race he only did three different facial expressions, that all looked pretty stupid.
There is no way i believe that Anakin built 3-CP0 and left him when he left.
