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.
So, we had a Star Wars Marathon last night

I take it you are among those wise people who deny the existence of the second trilogy?

Agreed about HC.....I believe Ryan Phillipe was the runner-up for the part.

Yes, I heard this explanation as well.....and it makes sense to me.

Probably because it's the voice of his father/clone. Makes sense *shrugs*

The voice can be explained logically, but it still sucks balls. (and not in the good way)

What's wrong with Greedo shooting first?

What's wrong is Han shooting first said a lot about his character.

I don't know about that. Fisher, Ford and Hamill could act.

JarJar was a shell of a character and directly responsible for the rise of the Empire. *NM*
