And it wasn't unique - we had to endure bad humour by Jar-Jar binks all the while being shifted to a serious fight between Obi-Wan/Qui-Gonn and Darth Maul. That never happened in the original series, and rightly so. You can't throw the audience around between levity and despair and expect them to get into it.


What about shifting from Ewoks taking out the Emperor's finest legions with rocks and a tiny glider to Luke/Vader/Palpatine on the Death Star?

Or maybe that just me because the latter is my favourite passage in the series and Endor always makes me facepalm.

point 4 of the "bad things about the original movies" is kind of weak LadyLorraine - 24/08/2011 01:07:01 AM 908 Views
They'll have to refer to these notes when they remake all of them in 10 years HousealThor - 24/08/2011 04:31:39 AM 1003 Views

I like that take. *NM* Nate - 24/08/2011 05:18:21 PM 500 Views
That's kind of how I saw it. *NM* Gher - 24/08/2011 11:00:32 PM 559 Views
Also, it makes the military guys feel better if they see the chain of command at work. Cannoli - 25/08/2011 01:53:02 AM 1099 Views
On that last statement... LadyLorraine - 25/08/2011 09:27:01 AM 942 Views
Yeah, I've seen that theory before imlad - 25/08/2011 02:27:29 PM 952 Views
Yes Cannoli - 25/08/2011 07:31:25 PM 942 Views
Nice theories *NM* Sidious - 26/08/2011 08:26:20 AM 1088 Views
Good stuff. And there are many more. I like the PT better than the OT. Kotagg - 24/08/2011 07:48:19 PM 943 Views
I don't want to alarm you, but you might be a monster. Nate - 24/08/2011 07:54:17 PM 895 Views
Most people I know under age 22 or so prefer the PT. *NM* ironclad - 24/08/2011 09:07:10 PM 513 Views
So the real question is ... Nate - 24/08/2011 09:19:51 PM 1015 Views
I'm 26, but it's pretty close. Kotagg - 24/08/2011 11:46:39 PM 932 Views
No offense ironclad - 25/08/2011 12:10:17 AM 998 Views
LOL I don't like Whedon either, and hate Firefly. My nerd friends do not love me. *NM* Kotagg - 25/08/2011 01:37:51 AM 396 Views
I'm 38, and I do love the PT imlad - 25/08/2011 12:45:11 AM 888 Views
I agreed with so much of what you said, then I cried. Kotagg - 25/08/2011 01:39:45 AM 1052 Views
Traviss's Mandalorian fan-fiction makes Kevin J Anderson almost tolerable by comparison Cannoli - 25/08/2011 02:11:41 AM 1130 Views
Ugh Zahn was so boring. *NM* Kotagg - 25/08/2011 04:00:28 AM 497 Views
Four of his five books are among my favourite Star Wars entries. Nate - 26/08/2011 01:42:29 PM 902 Views
I, too, loved the Thrawn trilogy *NM* ironclad - 26/08/2011 02:15:18 PM 448 Views
He actually wrote at least eight. Cannoli - 12/09/2011 07:33:28 PM 926 Views
Thankyouverymuchindeed. ironclad - 24/08/2011 09:04:54 PM 923 Views
I'm not even going there. Nate - 24/08/2011 09:26:11 PM 980 Views
my biggest complaint about the prequels is imlad - 25/08/2011 12:48:13 AM 865 Views
I mostly agree Cannoli - 25/08/2011 01:37:28 AM 1043 Views
I tend to consider the prequels to be inferior Sidious - 26/08/2011 08:41:46 AM 1177 Views
I still think that James Franco would have been awesome as Anakin ironclad - 26/08/2011 09:05:48 AM 1062 Views
I'd never really thought about it before, but I agree! *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/08/2011 02:22:00 PM 554 Views
I'd have to agree as well *NM* imlad - 28/08/2011 12:01:18 AM 540 Views
I've said that before. And they look almost exactly the same. *NM* Gher - 28/08/2011 12:26:29 AM 656 Views
except, imo, Franco looks like a MAN *NM* LadyLorraine - 28/08/2011 08:01:03 AM 600 Views

It's the Force, stupid. Cannoli - 25/08/2011 02:46:38 AM 1325 Views
Woah, woah. Nate - 25/08/2011 03:26:02 AM 930 Views
Yeah Cannoli has trouble letting petty things like reading get in the way of his nerdrage. *NM* Kotagg - 25/08/2011 04:03:56 AM 548 Views
You realize if I'd actually sucumbed to nerdrage, he wouldn't have complained? Cannoli - 25/08/2011 07:41:50 PM 891 Views
Whose panties are in a bunch? It's all in good fun anyway *NM* Kotagg - 26/08/2011 04:24:46 AM 513 Views
Oops. Sorry. Will fix soonest. Cannoli - 25/08/2011 07:32:37 PM 1047 Views
I still remember how much I adored Episode I ßelals Girl - 25/08/2011 08:05:02 PM 1126 Views
Probably because the bad guys were analogues of the OTHER Axis powers. Cannoli - 26/08/2011 06:11:07 PM 897 Views
The one thing about the PT that I could never get over is..... trzaska2000 - 26/08/2011 05:24:12 AM 1199 Views
That issue is over four hundred years old. Cannoli - 26/08/2011 06:09:37 PM 1013 Views
