[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bones McCoy: [QB] In my opion, the PREQUELS :p were completely self-indulgent: I'M GEORGE LUCAS GODDAMIT! LOOK AT THE UNIVERSE ONLY I COULD CREATE... etc. The original trilogy isn't a classic because of the special effects. I think that's where Lucas went astray. The original WAS mindblowing, visually, for its time, but it's strengths lay in the care given to the story and characters. You could tell that it came from the heart. The new trilogy, on the other hand, seems to me to come from someplace closer to George's ass: his wallet. In these new films, all I saw was Lucas basking in his own mythos, and coming up with all sorts of merchandising ideas. I mean, he had Yoda plugging Pepsi, for Chrissake. On the other hand, I AM a bitter old bastard, so that may have coloured my opinion somewhat... [/QB][/QUOTE]
