Star Wars and the saga's flimsy future

I am just wondering if anybody else thought the most recent star wars movie 'attack of the clones' was one of the worst movies they have ever seen. The guy who played Anakin Skywalker was the worst actor I have ever seen and the yoda fight scene made me want to throw up. I think the next one coming out is gonna be such a huge bust. Fuck George Lucas, he should've known when to quit.

Hte first three movies were the best. The Phantom Menace was okay but the latest one wasnt very good. how many more movies will come out?

snow i agree. the fight scene was horrible. you'd think that the star wars guys would have put the same technological effort into such a key character as lotr did with their little guy. i think the problem is that hollywood has changed. it still has the same bloodthirsty money addicted attitudes, but its flash factor is waaay more obnoxious - and star wars has fallen victim to that. there's no style in these ones like there was in the original 3. i don't think it was a bad idea to continue the saga, i do think it was a bad idea to do a quarterass effort though. jar jar? what the holy fuck?

Okay...yoda is 800 years old in Episode 6 and how long much earlier is episode 2? only like 40 years at most. Fucking impossible. That fight scene was gay. And hayden christiansen cant act for the life of him and i wanted to cry when episode 2 came out because the first trilogy was hella bomb and then lucas fucked up. And they are making 3 more for after the original 3. so there will be 9 all together. Yes, i am a nerd. Fuck you.

Seriously. George Lucas is only in it for the money. He knew that the original star wars trilogy was his masterpiece, but then after being put out of the limelight (and the cashflow for that matter) he decided to completly sell out with these last ones. I refuse to see any more of them after I saw the very first one.

^wrong.....lucasarts has been banking like fuck since way before episodes I and II. he planned to make all nine all along (or episode IV would have been named episode I). but the hollywood today is different than the hollywood of 1977-1983. hollywood just wants movies that draw the most people, and quality comes second. kinda like the radio. when star wars first came out, it was a one of a kind experience. now it's just like every other crappy blockbuster that's overloaded with special effects and pays no attention to pathetic acting ability. GOD DAMMIT the fucking kid turns into darth FUCKING vader and you hire some little snotnose punk to play him as a kid (i fucking hated that little shit just as much as jarjar) and then some no-name no talent ass clown to play him as a teenager. okay so maybe he is only in it for the money, but episodes I-III and 7-9 were always planned

i didnt mind episode 2 that much, but episode 1 was terrible. the next one might be better because its supposed to be the darkest one of the story, so maybe they won't try to make it appeal to kiddies as much.
i saw some interview with lucas and he said he never plans or did plan to make 7, 8 and 9, everyone thinks he did tho so maybe im wrong on that one.

heres the difference. han and leia. those two characters made the original trillogy. they had all the witty diolouge between them, which is what ep I and II are missing badly. they really need some kind of chemistry between the actors, which obviously was not there what so ever in I and II... thats my theorem. han and leia make the films...

More accurately, just Han. Han had the tension with everybody... Han vs. Leia, Han vs. Luke, Han vs. Chewy, even Han vs. Lando. There was a little bit of that kind of relationship going on between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in ep. 1, but Anakin doesn't have tension.... he's just whiny. Only reason they want him is because women find him so irresistable... I know a girl who wants to lose her virginity to him....lol

I agree that the characters are the major problem with these crappy prequels. The characters were all likable in the original 3, and, even though it was sci-fi, you could identify a character as your favorite. You've all had the discussion with 2 or 3 friends in a car or on a lift or something, 'Ok, I get to be Han, you get to be Luke...', but you cant do that with these. The new characters are plain and simply not likable enough.

I'd say the movies would have had a chance if George Lucas didn't direct them himself. Episodes 5 and 6 had different directors, and they really made the trilogy.

The problem is the George Lucas had just had a huge hit with American Graphiti when he made the first movies he was doing it for fun, he didnt care if he made money. It is evident in the new movies though (fucking whiny mini-anakin and jar-jar) that Lucas wanted the movies to appeal to a larger audience so he'd make more money. Doing so he ruined the story and upset the hardcore fans, of which I used to be one.
The story had so much potential, and even after they fucked up with episode I, I thought they could fix it. But it just got even worse. The dialogue and acting between Portman and Christensen is fucking garbage. Yeah some of the fight scenes are pretty cool, but that doesnt make up for it. Id definetely take models aided by computer graphics and a great story than shitty story and acting with full CGI.
One bright spot is that James Earl Jones is back for Episode III, so you KNOW Vader will kill it again.

i agree that lucas shoudnt hae directed these ones, he just isnt a director. i think they overuse special effects way too much in the new ones, hardly anything you see is real and it has no personality.

^Hey Vet, that's cool that James Earl Jones is back... but am I the only one who's stuck wondering how this whiny bitch of a kid got to be Darth Vader? I mean even just the voice. It really doesn't fit at all. Just awful casting. Jar Jar was proof that Lucas isn't able to make these movies well, and noone around him has the balls to tell him that he's fucking up one of the great movie stories ever.

i think the problem is different. sure, blame 'shitty acting'... but that's not it. Of course you will act shittily when you're standing in a blue room talking to the air (everything else will be added in the computer). Its the technology that ruined it.

anakin gets to be badass Darth Vader cause he gets overcome by the darkside of the force. if you remember when Luke took off Vader's mask at the end of Return of the Jedi, we were all expecting a deep powerful voice, and we were all let down when he spoke? well, i assume the voice is cause when he talks through the mask it gets changed to sound more intimidating to people hes commanding.
oh, and yah, the first two were terrible, the casting couldve been bbetter. Qwai Gon and Obi Wan were good characters in the first. cause they can actually act. hopefully the third will be better
Lucas was always planning on making 9 movies, but realized that he probably wont have enough time to make episode 7-9

George Lucas is evil... We hold this truth to be self evident. And if he continues to posess creative control over the series, as well as directing, we can only expect the next movie to be even lamer than the ones preceeding. Episode II has to be the Low Water mark, it has the worst acting ever from bitch ass Hayden Christendfj, 'I killed them all...' Dude, I about puked and shit myself when he attempted to deliver that line with some shred of emotion, it was awful... The Yoda scene was cool, but was too much computerized flashiness, which gayed it out a whole lot. Granted Natlie Portman will remain hot, and only age or overeating will take that away from her, But the whinyness of the Anikin acting killed everything. All this leading up to the next movie, which I believe is far from saving. I mean it would require Lucas to be locked in a 4'x4' steel box, Scorsesee directing, and actors with real experience, not even big names would be needed... I don't believe todays hollywood would be capable of producing the talent, so we'd need to ge somewhere else, maybe england, they got the accents right? Sadly the movie is probably in post production, and Lucas is enjoying a Klondike Bar on his private hovercraft... Yeah Money!

im gonna have to say that ewan mcgregor may be the saving grace as far as the acting talent is concerned... plus the fact that natalie portman is beautiful... but ewan is one talented mother effer..... in my opinion.

I pretty sure George Lucas is actually planning on remaking the original trilogy with new actors and stuff. Damn, he just can't leave this franchise alone! I think a new Indiana Jones is coming out and i really hope George Lucas doesn't have any part in that...
