...(or is it a curse?) between Episode 1 and Star Trek: the Motion Picture.
Think about it. Episode 1 had great special effects. TMP had great special fx (for its time?), and lots of it. Episode 1 had a weak plot, bad dialogues, AND bad acting. The same could be said for TMP except maybe the dialogue and acting. Both had an ten-year-or-more hiatus of the franchise, leaving fans begging for more. Both were successes despite the disappointment because of the hungry fans. But I doubt Lucas will get kicked out of the producer's chair.
Maybe the even-numbered movie will be better.

What do you mean, "a weak plot, bad dialogues, and bad acting"?! I disagree vehemently! In ten years it will be regarded as one of the best films of all time.

Er...I thought there were enough other threads in here talking about how bad the movie was, so I didn't explain it further (Refer to RW's thread).
Elim: Jake Lloyd. Liam Neeson is a good actor, just not in this movie. You can probably count the number of his emotional phases with one hand.

Lloyd was playing this cute little kid. What did you expect? Same with Neeson...he played a Jedi Master. His character is comparable to Obi-Wan Kenobi's in ANH.

Since when was The Empire Strikes Back the dud of the Star Wars family? I'm quite sure most people prefer that to at least one other of the first three movies.

I agree...ESB has the advantage of being in the middle, so it draws upon the previous story but doesn't have to conclude anything. To many people, it's easily the best.

I have seen many cute little kids who are better actors than Jake Lloyd. Examples: Naomi Wildman, kid who plays Young Tarzan, young Jake Sisko.

True. Scarlett Pomers is a rather good actress, particularly in comparison with most kid actors out there.

sorry Jedi Weyoun, I have to agree Scarlett Pommers great actress.
well ESB - is a 'dud' for me - i doesn't really do anything SPECIAL - where as so far ANH - was the first Jedi - was the last and TPM was the first prequel.

*L* Andrew--i wasn't referring to that post. just this thread in general. rather nitpicky. actually, if scarlet pommers is the one who played amidala and padme, then i agree, she was a very good actress. i think she's very pretty too, once you get all that horrid makeup off her.
