      wooden is the operative word. great way to describe it. But that Anakin actor is the worst I've ever seen. Possibly the worst actor ever. Can you imagine how cool it would be to see the character's fall to the dark side played by a good actor?

      Occasionally ROTJ could get wooden. I can think of a few instances. Esp. with Harrison Ford- but that is Ford's style .

      The fall to the darkside is the part I most looked forward to. And I was very disappointed .

      Hopefully episode 3 can salvage this fall to the darkside. But I doubt it.

          To me, the next film will be good for the same reason that ROTJ was good, the plotline is that powerfull even George Lucas can't make a bad film out of it.

            Have you SEEN Starship Troopers?! Do not underestimate the combined power of incompetency combined with hubris. Just look at politics in.... OK, no thread hijacks.

                It's a wee bit subjective a thing to bet on, don't you think?

                  Let's pick three posters from this thread, or do a poll after it comes out. One week of choosing a non-obscene avatar - for stakes?

                    Don't you think hating the prequels is like hating Microsoft, ie. its got geek cred?

                      I really don't know, AOTC wasn't much worse than ROTJ was it?


                      No, it wasn't. I consider AOTC to be just a smidge under ANH. I love the people who say the acting was wooden in the prequals... HELLO? Mark Hamill anyone?

                        IMHO

                        1) ESB
                        2) ANH
                        3) AOTC
                        4) ROTJ
                        5) PM

                        2 through to 4 are arguable though, 1 and 5 are not :O)

                          I'm coming out of the closet.

                          I'm hereby admitting I liked the Ewoks. And I liked Return of the Jedi far better than any of the prequals.

                          The Ewoks are so cute. How could you not like them?

                            I liked the ewoks too.


                            Actually, they're the only thing that made that movie worthwhile. They're like little teddy-bear luddites.

                              it had some good fighter scenes in the space battle.

                              And Lando

                              the prequals do not have a character as cool as Lando.

                              and the cool opening sequence freeing Han from Jabba the hut

                              and the bikini on Carrie Fisher
