The recent Star Wars trilogy so far has been nothing more than mediocre. The films murk the history. Waste Time and money. The effects aren't truly mind blowing. I think Spy Kids does a better job with a much lower budget. More action, less story. Maybe Lucas should take break as he did w/ The Empire Strikes Back and look how that turned out. ------------------ Axel Foley: Don't you think I realize what's going on here, miss? Who do you think I am, huh? Don't you think I know that if I was some hotshot from out of town that pulled inside here and you guys made a reservation mistake, I'd be the first one to get a room and I'd be upstairs relaxing right now. But I'm not some hotshot from out of town, I'm a small reporter from "Rolling Stone" magazine that's in town to do an exclusive interview with Michael Jackson that's gonna be picked up by every major magazine in the country. I was gonna call the article "Michael Jackson Is Sitting On Top of the World," but now I think I might as well just call it "Michael Jackson Can Sit On Top of the World Just As Long As He Doesn't Sit in the Beverly Palm Hotel 'Cause There's No Niggers Allowed in There!"

Your signature is really getting ... well, I was going to say ridiculous, but it's more like obscene. I think we have a rule about no sigs over 3 lines or something. You're violating it by like 700%.
And no one's going to listen to a thing you say (er, sorry, 'read' a single thing you say) so long as you've got a sig as long as Simon's manhood.

Shouldn't someone be waving the blasphemy stick right about now? I mean, who dares to defy the almighty George Lucas?

It seems that Dr Phlox is getting around the hard-coded signature limit by pasting his sig into the message field itself.
Charles has had a 350-character limit on sigs for a while now, one that can't be circumvented inside the profile AFIK. (But he still needs to fix the bug in it... )

As for the topic, I disagree. I like the new trilogy, the action, and the storyline. Granted, its not the same as the original, but who cares? Its Lucas' project, not ours. You whiners think that you own Star Wars and that you're only letting George Lucas touch it. The truth is Lucas *is* Star Wars and what he wants it to be is his choice, and not anyone elses. If you don't like it, don't watch it. But don't complain when an artist decides to do something different with his paintings.

I agree with Raven if he doesn't want to make it good let him go ahead. I'm saying with something as big as Star Wars you should at least make an effort. And I don't believe his story about having all this ready pre 77. If you know your history the episode titles came in later when he decided he could ride this X-wing a little bit longer. --------------------------- If they can't take a joke fuck 'em.

You mean in 1979? Yeah, he should have stopped there.

I was referring to the year the original actually hit theaters. The year SW mania set off. --------------- If they can't take a joke fuck 'em.

So you're saying that he decided in 1977 to capitalise on the popularity of his film by making a "sequel"? Surely that's the madest thing anyone in Hollywood has ever done.

No what I'm saying is that he came up with all this Anakin Bullshit after the success of the original. Do you really think if he had thought it through he would have birthed Jar Jar? -------------- If they can't take a joke fuck 'em.

Well I think partially the problem is that George Lucas has become even more of a recluse over the years at Skywalker Ranch and hired a staff of sycophants. However outrageous or bad the idea is, the "Yes Men" tell George: "That's a fantastic idea."
Producer Rick McCallum seems like he is the worst sycophant among the George Lucas lackeys, which includes Ben Burtt, John Knoll, and Dennis Muren. Don't these people have any taste anymore. Why don't they say anything?

Maybe, maybe not. Still, if he had stopped then, we wouldn't have had to put up with all that Anakin bullshit in The Empire Strikes Back, so you are plus 100% right.
