George Lucas: The Original Star Wars Movies Do Not Exist!

[Drake Tungsten]

It was cheesy as hell, though.

[Ted Striker]

I guess I just didn't see the cheeze.

What was cheezy about it?

I thought it was cool as hell that this short old man that walks with a cane comes out whooping azz.

What was cheezy about it?

A little green guy flying around like a midget Shaolin monk on crack?

[Ted Striker]

Hell yeah!!!!!

[Apocalypse]

It was pretty bad and ruined any seriousness that was left at that point in the movie. People liked it though. Unfortunantly.

Take a chill pill. The original Ewok song sucked as hard as the new song. And your attachment to Ewoks is kinda scary for a (supposedly) heterosexual male .

And the reason he doesn't want people to 'choose their favorite' is because the New Special Edition (SE2, I guess) is the way Lucas wanted it to be done. It's his new director's cut and he'd rather have more whining than release something he thought incomplete.

Just be glad that you are even GETTING them on DVD .

I actually watched Episode 2 for the first time recently and was very pleasantly surprised, it was actually pretty good.

AOTC was pretty good; however it doesn't have all the nostalgia and rebels fighting the big evil dudes so people wrote it off.

regardless of whether you thought it sucked or not, its still a nastalgic part of my childhood, and i know for a fact it is as well for many others
And my affection for ewoks is no more than many people's affection for cats or dogs or something, so are you going to childishly call all those people on beastiality because they like them so much
poor taste

I read the article, i know why hes doing what hes doing. Im saying that he could release both versions and still hold the SE as the true Star Wars as he intended it to be (and make that clear to the audience), and then fans of the originals would be happy with having the originals too. I dont see how releasing both editions makes the SE any less the true star wars in his eyes. It just sounds kinda selfish to me to make everyone conform to him, regardless that he is the creator. the originals are already out of the bag. and you can say "well the originals are still out there if you want them", but i would really like to have them on DVD, as would many people, along with the SE

I did see influences of Gladiator, Braveheart, and Black Hawk Down in the movie, at least in terms of how some of the scenes were directed

Wasn't Black Hawek Down after Star Wars II?

[Ted Striker]

It came out about a year before Episode 2. So maybe it was too close to have any influence, especially considering those scenes were computer animated so probably took a long time to render.

It seemed like the aerial sequeces looked alot like Black Hawk Down though.

[Ted Striker]

Even the little kid (Boba Fett) was cool as hell.

Anakin in episode 1 was annoying.

I thought I was watching one of those G rated movies where all the animals talk.

I thought it was a totally serious scene though.


I think the people that didn't like it just don't like Yoda, or they have an idea of what he is and isn't supposed to be.

That's why I liked it so much because he showed a side of himself that people hadn't stereotyped him to be.

My wife and I was snickering audibly during the Yoda fight. Possibly one of the cheeziest movie moments of the past quarter-century.

WHOOP ALL YOUR AZZES I WILL

[JohnT]

(Precisely the same reaction I had in the theater. Thanks for the memories, Ted! )

[Ted Striker]

Yeah, well, he WAS the top Jedi, so it only made sense that he could whoop azz.

It's just like that old Monk in Kill Bill 2 that whooped on Uma Thurmon
