What will PJ&Co. do next?!

I personally liked Ep2 better than Ep1, but both had problems, which have been covered in other areas of the forum. Sincerely, Anthony

Someone once said that everything has its winter and fall. WE are fortunate enough to be here today to see the fall or winter of the star war saga.

Hmm...
I could write entire essays in response to some of the above comments, but I'm not really up to it right now, so remind me to do so later. Let's just say I love Star Wars, I love analysing it rigourously, and I particularly respect what George Lucas has achieved with the Prequel Trilogy, which I think is ridiculously underappreciated.

Iron Parrot: I do think Episode 1 and 2 had great special effects and indeed in many ways lots of imagination. However even imagination must have a purpose and be well represented and brought to life by actors. Ep 1 had good performances Ep 2 less so. You can't drop writing a good script because special effects "cover a multitude of sins".
I love star wars too. I just wish the prequels were done as well as I used to imagine they could be. All movies are hits or misses.

Overall, I think the worst SW movie is episode2
The only good thing on it was the clones. Episode1 was a little better except that Jar-Jar starts screwing things up after eps.1 The trilogy was well done and a lot of thought, effort, and talent were put into them. Episode2 has too much wishy-washy stuff in it and it does't stay with the story. ( We're supposed to be watching something about clones and Dark forces, not Anakin's love life!!) And the actors were so bad!! I think sticking mostly with the trilogy is your best chance. You can actually get a good story out of it. Let's hope Episode 3 is better! So P. Skywalker, you can make that two that agree with you! Whoopdeedo! |

Yeah it's bad. This is sad news for SW fans. I don't think he can do anything about it now even though he has 3 more movies to go. He already ruined the series. The whole thing's gone down the drain.
But at least in Ep. 2 he had realised his mistake with JarJar.

he has 3 more movies to go?? what what what??
the series went down hill as early as the Empire strikes back. the script was funny and witty BUT come on, 4 legged heavy armoured war machines?? in the age of space travel?? the Empire deserved to lose and i dont wanna no stinking chocolat yoda lol.....can anyone in their right mind really believe wise old yoda in touch with the Force, lead an army to battle much less flapping a lightsabre around? oh and Gollum: Give me the ring Frodo, and together we can rule this ME together. The Dark Lord has forseen it. Frodo: no never! Gandalf told me you killed my Father. Gollum: NO, i am your Father. Search your feelings you know it to be true. Frodo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. jumps over the ledge, and Sam jumps after him they both lands on a branch, and the eagles come for them |

I can appreciate both sides of the issue (personally I think all the movies were a little surface. I mean, the world itself is awesome, but only watching the movies doesn't give you muh of that world, like LOTR doesn't give you half the beauty of Tolkien's world). On the other hand, I can see Lucas' reluctance to share his 'baby' too badly' Writers are selfish.

If that was the point of the movie... the movie is pointless.

I loved Episode two!! But maybe it's because I have a little obsession with two of the main characters.
And, Ewan McGregor was also very good in Episode 1. He is always good.

Both prequels were disapointing, but i still like them. I believe that the reason that AOTC is so cheesy somtimes(mostofthetime) is because that stupid screenplay writer whatshisname came along and 'polished' it. i am not saying i thought ep.1 is better, just that: someone who writes scripts for movies like Scorpian king( i hope noeones offended ) arent gonna improve anything, and didnt.
