I agree, and he's the reason Raiders is better than the sequels....

Em, are you getting the release of the original theartical versions of IV-VI?
I'm not, I can hold with the ones I got, Jabba's tail-step-over and all. A long yawn takes care of that.

Sees where you're coming from Chrisisall

I had planned to, but when push came to shove I just wasn't ready to rewatch them....
I don't own that many DVD, only things I know for sure I want to rewatch many times.

Back when videos first came out I collected everything I could lay my hands on, and invariably my friends wanted to watch something I was sick to death of... so now I only own what I know I'll enjoy watching ad nausium.

kind of a long winded response, huh? sorry about that

-the verbose embers, getting all excited about seeing Serenity tonight in Oakland

yeah the actors are getting blamed for bad writing and worse direction:
there isn't a cast in the world who could over come the problem of being stood up in a line and made to proclaim a lot of obvious statements in important voices.

In the episodes IV-VI Lucas had help with dialoge & characterization from Lawrence Kasden, one of the greatest dialoge writers ever.



See, that's what I'm saying. It was actually rather sad to see all those wonderfull actors trying to play that horrible dialogue. And I still blame much on Direction.

The prequels could have been good movies. There was already a framework ther for a great story but it was filled out all wrong. Again. This is why I reserve my hate for George Lucas instead of the prequels which really only bug me.

Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.
Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

I've never really hated the prequels. I actually saw episode 1 first, and then saw the originals. While there were some truly horrible moments in the prequels and on the whole they weren't as good as the originals, they weren't absolutely terrible. And I've never thought that the original trilogy was nearly as much a masterpiece as most other people seem to suggest it was. The same flaws that are evident in the prequels in the originals, they're just better disguised.
