Maybe I'm just an overzealous Star Wars fan, but that's more plausible if you remember that he has the Force on his side, and that the Trade Federation Ships are crappy converted cargo ships with easily explodable reactors. Though young Anakin was an annoying

When I watched Ep.One I thought "cant possibly get any worse!"

How very wrong I was.

I thought episode 2 was much better than Episode 1. My expectations were lower, and they had a lot less Jar Jar Binks. Plus there wasn't as happy an ending. And the denizens of Naboo are annoying.

The thing that really irritated me was that the prequel scripts short-changed Ian McDarmid's role as Senator (then Emperor) Palpitine. I really think that he did a great job in the Original Trilogy, and Lucas should have given him more of a role in the prequels. Instead we got loads of dumb Gungans and CGI.

I would personally much rather see a series that covers the books in chronological order with the production values of something like Farscape Firefly of Babylon 5. it would be dificult to cast but I think it could be good. If it had to be films though Id like to see something in the New Jedi Order time period and everyone would be roughly the right age. Condensing a ninteen book series into a trilogy though... woo.

Dont ask me silly questions.

That would be a good idea. They'll never do it, though. Pop quiz; who's scarier, the Yuuzhan Vong or the Reavers?

Id almost say the reavers because you never actually see them but in the end I'd always go for the Vong because we actually do see them. And for the mere existence of Onimi's creepy up Dr. Seuss poems.

And speaking of nineteen I think that before any more Star Wars films Id like to see a good film adaptation of Stephen King's: The Dark Tower series. If done well they could rival LotR and the original trilogy in terms of sci-fi/fantasy epic.

While I do agree that Lucas has no idea how to use CGI appropriately I know that at least Jar Jar did have a actor in suit interacting with the actors.

I'd like to see 3 more star wars movies but only if they got someone far more talented than Lucas doing them not that I think it'll happen anytime soon.

I so hope that they don't do three more eps (or gut the whole of Lucasfilms and put a whole new crew in (including writers and directers)).

Episode 1 I liked cuz I could drool over Ewan McGreggor but that was the only reason. Little Anakin just irks me.

Episode 2 I felt like barfing 5 minutes into it. Did you all see the way Anakin looked at Padme? He looked like he could literally cut her up and eat her. yuck. The acting in Ep 2 was worse acting than was in Ep 1.

However, on the off chance that there are going to be 3 more episodes of Star Wars, I hope they stay away from the series "New Jedi Order". That series is the one book series that I thought sucked big time. I liked the books that came before that series cropped up though. And I hope that they get someone other than Lucas to write and direct them. Cuz his writing and directing just about made me in Episode 2.

I've been trying to read every Star Wars novel in existence in chronological order. So far I'm at the Lando Calrissian adventures. In a year or so I'll get to the original trilogy. At this rate, they write books faster than I can read them.

Hey, this is part of his descent into darkness. And you shouldn't watch Star Wars for the acting. The reason it's cool is because of its wondrous setting, with all its interconnected story lines.

If 7,8 and 9 get made they should be the new Jedi Order. The yuuhzan Vong are way evil and the timeline would fit with the age of the old cast(Ford, Hammil, Fisher).

I named my children after Han and Leias kids in the books(Jaina & Jacen). The force is indeed powerful in them though they stray into the dark side all too often...

Yes but how can we pay attention to the wonderful story lines if every five minutes we want to stab the actors in an attemp to get a real reaction out of them? The acting has to be good enough so that we dont see it. I for one need at least a token effort of good acting so that I can actually watch what the story is about insted of constantly being reminded that these are actors on a movie set who have been told to go do X.

In 4-6 the acting was good. I'm sure that their preformance would not be considered the greatest bit of acing history but it was good. that is ALL I ask for.

Lucas, is that too much to ask for? Not Fantastic, wonderful, out of this world. Just good.
