That's not quite the issue. TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 01:37:58 AM
The actors in the new trilogy aren't really any worse than the original. In fact, some are quite good. The problem is George Lucas had a lot more creative control this time around. He didn't even direct Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. And he wasn't such an icon that people couldn't question him back in the day. Harrison Ford could say "You may be able able to write this shit, but you can't say this shit" to Lucas thirty years ago, but no one would dare today. Let's not forget that if Lucas had directed and cut Empire Strikes Back, Leia would have said "I love you" and Han would have replied "I love you, too." The infamous "I know" only came about because of Harrison Ford and director Irvin Kershner.

Plus the three films we don't talk about and shouldn't exist. *NM* - 10/08/2010 12:33:40 PM 308 Views
Episode III was as good as any of the originals. - 10/08/2010 06:37:28 PM 688 Views
It most certainly was not! - 10/08/2010 06:39:30 PM 602 Views
Yep, close to it, at least. - 10/08/2010 09:46:22 PM 701 Views

Good point, that's perhaps an even more important difference... - 11/08/2010 04:29:34 PM 731 Views
Yes. Lucas should never write anything - 11/08/2010 04:33:05 PM 628 Views
he shouldn't direct either!!! *NM* - 12/08/2010 12:39:56 AM 363 Views
