Too nostalgic maybe, but I remember loving watching any of the first three SW flicks.. the special effects didn't take over and there was.. y'know, dialogue worth repeating.
EP I and II seem to me like technical exercises in excess, simply because Lucas has an alarmingly large boner for Industrial Light and Magic.
(on that note, i desperately miss the use of obvious blue screens in movies)

You are a disgrace to all Star Wars fans.....a true fan would just accept it for what it is. It isn't a bad film by no means....there is nothing wrong with the CG effects. It isn't the best of the five that are complete, from a story point of view. I think we've discussed this enough in the other Star Wars topics.....and therefore I don't think it warrants another unjust flogging.....

Lucas is scraping the bottom of a really shitty barrel. He should have quit on a high with Howard the Duck. That shit was dope.

Im not a disgrace for the fans, just for the nerds ;)... And i really enjoyed episode 1 when it came out. I was very sceptic and had alot of bad things to say about the film but i forced myself to like it just becouse its star wars... i can see much clearer now. Episode 1 sucks, except those fight scenes with darth maul & every single scene with darth sidious ( i love him ). Episode II is much better as a film and as pure entertainment. Episode one felt fake...not really star wars. isnt like 50% of the movie about gung gungs?

i cant wait until they all come out and you try and watch them in a row... the last three are not going to be similar at all. in my opinion i think they put way too much technology in the new ones... they just wont fit all together.

The Phantom Menace was terrible, and Episode 2 wasn't much of an improvement.
The real problem is that George Lucas seems to think hes creating some kind of period costume drama. He forget the funny, corny dialogue and fresh acting that made the first three good. Star Wars is stale because the creator turned it into a franchise, plain and simple.

raimons: best avatar ever.
I don't know what you're talking about though, the special effects of Episode I were amazing, at the time the best of any movie ever made. Actually that is pretty much true of every Star Wars. People have a hard on for bashing George Lucas, they think it elevates them, the man is a genius.

oh ohhh, I think someone opened a can of shit here...I agree, to a point. I think there was some stuff in the first Star Wars that sucked ass. But hey it was still Star Wars...Episode II is very good, explains a lot of things....but Lord of the Rings Two towers , and the Return of the King is going to kick Star Wars right where it hurts.

NO SHIT!!!!!! i left the theater in tears, almost...darth maul made things a lil better, but a 10 min. fight scene can't make up for the horrible hours before hand
I liked 2 though, don't ask me why it just had something................oh yea, no 5 yr old kid trying to act. G/L should take it easy with CGI though, its annoying

originally, star wars was to end with Han Solo dying and the rebels scattering throughout the galaxy. This was until Gary Kurtz, the producer and George Lucas' advisor for the first two films, quit after arguing about the inclusion of ewoks in Return of the Jedi.
Kurtz had been keeping Lucas in check, giving him good story ideas, and the day he left the production was the day star wars went downhill.
George Lucas is a fat fuck who forgot how to make real movies.

Here's why it sucked:
1) Jar Jar Binks 2) Anakin was a child 3) Seemed to be a bit childish

The problem is that anakin HAD to be a child, sure it could have been done better but i'm not going to call G/L an idiot and cast all those amazing film moments away.
And i loved the CGI in ep2, esp. the clone battle at the end, just blew me away in the cinema. Plus, no one, not even lord of the rings can get any closer to the swashbuckery of star wars, not even close.

Lord of the Rings is no where close to Star Wars. Its so far ahead of it that it makes Star Wars look like an amateur kids film.

The problem was it was extremely turgid, and far too childish. Episode 2 was a lot better, it started off being another turgid political thing, and with some sappy romance, but about half way through it actually got good and I enjoyed it :)
