Why i hate starwars

[Imran Siddiqui]

I assume that some greyness will return with the Empire coming to fruition.

However, it won't FULLY return. In the beginning the Republic still (sort of) exists.

I thought this thread was about the thing in space that tries to shoot down nuclear missiles...

Hehehe... Starwars sucks... I prefer watching Star Trek...

[Seneca]

That, and the plots are generally more involved and have fewer cliches than what's playing at the Cineplex

Plus there's more sh@gging - I can't be the only one to have noticed that?

To be honest, Return of the Jedi is actually my favorite from the original trilogy. Mainly because of the huge space battle between the Rebel and Imperial fleets over Endor. The scene where Lando spins the Falcon around and finds himself staring at a fleet of Star Destroyers with the Super Star Destroyer Executor in the middle was truly awe-inspiring. Definitely the best space battle I had seen until Star Trek DS9 had the Dominion War. Also I liked the displays of the Empire's power: the scene at the very beginning where Vader lands on Death Star 2 as well as the scene in the middle when the Emperor arrives. I guess I just really thought the Empire was cool back then...lol.

From original trilogy?

I'll take empire strikes back anyday. An ending with an unsatified feeling (evil wins in a way), battle of hoth....

I'm not a fan of starwars though. I'm the type who watched Phantom Menace by borrowing the VHS from a fanatic friend and saved the 9 bucks. I generally steer myself away from any star prefixed scifi shows/movies... except stargate. That's my only one exception.

The original trilogy was great. The new trilogy seems to be getting worse with each subsequent release.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Episode 2 was much better than Episode 1! And I think it's the second (or third based on my mood) best movie in the series, after ESB (or ESB and ANH depending on how I'm feeling ).

This is grounds for banning

[Imran Siddiqui]

My post or the first one?

[Dis]

the first one. At least you didn't say ep 2 was the best.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Naw... ESB is BY FAR the best.

[Provost Harrison]

I thought AOTC was very good, far better than PM...

[Skanky Burns]

I put ESB as the second worst of them all.

Although I rate them pretty much according to the size of the battle-scenes in the movie. ROTJ's entire second half of the movie was battle. Yay!
Clones comes in at number 2 due to the clone battle and the fact that Natalie Portman was in the movie.

However, even the large army of robots in the first episode couldn't save that movie.

[St Leo]

Star Wars is Evil because of the mystical telekinetic BS and the Divine Right of the Jedis.

[Jac de Molay]

ESB was great because it was dark, and it had innovative backdrops like Hoth and Cloud city.

I thought TPM sucked so bad, I never bothered to see clones. Lucas is way overdoing it on "digital" actors and scenery, and the plot is too convoluted.

And Midiclorians? WTF?? Why does the Force have such a reductionist, scientific basis? I thought the Force was supposed to be spiritual.
