I'm not even gonna dignify this with--Ah, shit. Dammit, too late.




Asshole.

I'M COOL MAN WHEN I WAS A KID I WAS ALREADY LISTENING TO ELVIS COSTELLO AND WATCHING NON-CORPORATE SCI-FI FILMS. Jackass.

I think what Fee meant was that he is juat a wee thing that was born *after* 1983.
Otherwise, he'd just be kinda douchey.

Yeah, but that character spent the entire trilogy whining and complaining. Seeing him dismembered was pretty satisfying.

That's only the case if you actually care what happens to Anakin. Kids are pretty used to abstract violence.

So you're making the contention that the prequel movies are just as well made as the originals?

In the minority here, but I agree with you. The Holiday Special and Return of the Jedi were plenty kiddified but no one seems to hate on them as much as Episode I, which is my overall favorite in the bunch.

They're movies for kids and it's not fair to expect them to have the same impact on you now as they did when you were eight and first saw them. Of course, that's just my opinion.

I suppose you thought Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was the best Indiana Jones movie too right? I mean, there's no way someone can expect a movie to be made with - AH FUCK THIS GEORGE LUCAS DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DIRECT MOVIES HE GOT FUCKING LUCKY WITH THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS AND PEOPLE WHO KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING TOOK OVER FOR EMPIRE STRIKES BACK AND RETURN OF THE JEDI, THEN THIS ASSHOLE TAKES A 20 YEAR BREAK FROM DIRECTING ONLY TO RETURN AND RAPE A BELOVED SERIES OF FILMS SO HARD THAT EVEN NERDS HATE IT. NERDS LIKE FIREFLY, AND LOST AND ALL KINDS OF SHIT BUT THEY HATE THESE MORE THAN ANYTHING. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO BUY FULL SIZED R2D2 SHAPED COOLERS, EVEN THE BAREST BONES HALFWAY DECENT MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN PRAISED FOREVER BY THEM.

Actually, I haven't seen Crystal Skull. I don't really think I want to.

Ha ha, you don't know anything about movies or story telling.

The characters in the trilogy were very interesting. The mysterious Darth Vader, the old/wise Obi-Wan, The roguish Han Solo. Unfortunately most of what made them interesting is what we didn't know about them. Aaaand the prequels effectivly ruined that. Hard.

Ouch. Mike Tyson's life-size Chewbacca plushie will hear of my insolence tonight, no doubt.

At least Han Solo had a personality and was not a whiney douche.

The characters are a bit flat, but this is an exercise in using established, classic storytelling. Oh shit. Just go look up Redlettermedia.

Also, if you want a science fiction Harrison Ford acting performance that trumps Han Solo (and almost every other character he's done), go rent Blade Runner.

I've never considered myself a fan of Star Wars, and never saw what the big deal was about the original movies. But the prequels definitely had scenes that exemplified both those qualities, particularly Empire.
