So many absurdities and contradictions...just a couple to consider:

1) How could Annakin become a Jedi after he exhibited his murderous rage against the Sandpeople...women & children too? Did Obi Wan just let that slide?

Anakin couldn't become a Jedi after his fight with the Sand People, as witnessed by his fall to the Dark Side. As for why Obi-Wan "let it slide," He seemed to have bigger things to worry about than his apprentice killing a bunch of Sand People, like staying hidden at the time.

2) How could all the mystical & powerful Jedi geniuses not have a frikkin clue for 10+ years about Palpatine being the evil dark lord?...oh right..the dark side clouds everything...well how frikkin convenient for Lucas!

It's the rule of two, there weren't enough Sith to register on the Jedi's Force radar, until Palps already had an army to kick the Jedi's ass for him.

After having said this, I loved the original trilogy, but Lucas lost his way when he started making Episode One. He seemed more concerned with his visuals than with dialogue. I think it was Rick Mccallum who in the commentary for Episode Three says that George tells his stories visually, and he's not good at dialogue, by George's own addmission.

I will hunt down and destroy the haters of starwars. it was my pathway to firefly ane serenity. when i was a kid i used to pretend that i was with look and save the universe from the empire. I guess it is a kids movie and i will also admit that the episode one should have been made better but the original starwars trilogy is still the three greatest movies ever made. they were inovative. they were the first movvies to take full advantage of sfx. the movies revolutionized film making. we wouldnt have starwars if it werent for star treck but intern we would also not have firefly wiith out starwars.

Targeting George Lucas, I assume? I mean, he must hate SW to give us those prequels, right? I love the original three, and I would have been more careful with any sequels or prequels....

But that's just me Chrisisall

Yeah the prequels sucked. While I'm not actually a big Star Wars fan, I know that the original ones were way better. I didn't even see the most recent one because the second one was so awful.

I would agree with you if you had said the original two. I never cared for ROTJ much myself.

I forgive the film's flaws (and they are many) because of Mark Hamill, and his scenes with Vader and the Emperor.

Yes, Star Wars has it's down points. The Dialoge [Mesa don't know], and [Blast..doors..won't..stop..Jedi]. The characters, Jar-Jar being at the top of my list. and the plot. But there might be a few redeaming qualities to the three prequals. Like if we look ahead the the seventh, eighth, and ninth episode, we open the doors to the facts that even the Jedi can learn to be human and not have a protocal droid write the wedding invitations. Or that the rest of the univers and the Jedi must take a more active role and still not get the work finished. Thats my Take on it.

I died my Browncoat black for those whom have gone before.

I agree for the most part that the sequels were pretty disappointing in many ways, I'm really wondering if in 500 years those speeder cars will actually sound like regular cars or Nascars. ;) With that said, my favorites were the original and ROTJ, but I didn't much care for The Empire Strikes Back, although it has the coolest title. Too much violence and lack of interesting stuff going on compared to the others, although I understand that it is a neccessary piece of the SW storyline.

As for the new SW films, I could not stand the sappy love story and they seemed like cartoons. The acting was also very poor along with the SFX which looked like a video game. The Anakin character was just plain weak. Besides this there are many inconsistencies. I would have liked to see them make Episodes 7, 8, and 9, but if they are going to be as bad or probably even worse then iI'm glad they aren't.

I was so disgusted with Episodes I & II that I never had the slightest interest in seeing Episode III.
I'll probably go to my grave never having seen it.

Empire is the best of them all.
I've seen it probably as many times as I've watched my Firefly DVDs, and that's saying a lot!
