Ok..so the first 2 episodes of the new SW trilogy have been sorely lacking in 2 things..plot and feeling..will Lucas wake up from his eye candy daydream and redeem himself in the shadows of modern masters like Ang Lee and the Wachowski brothers??
He has so much story to tell with so little movie time. This next film is going to suck. We all know what hes going to do, and that would be cramming this next moive with so much crap that it will burst before the begining credits finish!
Do I sound bitter??? O_o

Once upon a time in decade far far away....
A man, Geaorge Lucas, took an excellent idea and made probably the best films in history.
Unsatified with this undertaking he waited until such a time as there was sufficient technology available to **ck it up by going for overdone effects and no real film making!
sacrelige...talking smack about lucas.....shame on you guys

Dont get me wrong Rogue I'm a proper SW fan. I just think Lucas went a little too far with the SFX which then detracted away from what the films were really about.
Wow, how very negative! Not everyone thinks he is in need of redemption! Sure, the new films have been lacking in some respects but they have been very good in others! I think they all get better the more you watch them, actually.
We all know the biggest problem is trying to stuff so much in; TPM was a true prequel, which is fair enough, but then he had to fit his three-film story intwo two, and AOTC's biggest problem was it being fat and bloated (the Naboo sections being a particular waste of time). All previous films had three locations for their action; TPM also had three but went to one twice, AOTC had FIVE. It was a bit of a problem.
I am relatively confident it will be a good film, and the entire prequel trilogy will be better than ROTJ, if you ask me...

The problem is not the actor.... the problem is that lucas doesnt know how to direct actors. Natalie Portman is great... howcome she acts so bad in star wars? samuel jackson looks so flat.. even though he shouldnt be in star wars... damn good actor but not in star wars.
Whats wrong with star wars is the directing of the actors, the abuse of blue screens dont give the actor any idea of space and they cant even interact properly. Thats the other reason. Another reason, the VERY VERY bad lines that they have. Tell me how Hayden Christen or whatever would sound good saying "i'm in agony the closer iget to you, the worse it gets. The tought of not being with you turns my STOMACH TURN OVER. my mouth go dry. I FEEL DIZZY, ICANT BREATH. IM haunted by the kiss you shouldnt havent given me." COME ON!!!!!! WAKE UP!!! those are the reasons why!
And the point is not if he can redeem himself... is far to late, he might get a good movie... but its imposible that with one movie you can fix two very bad ones,,, they wont be able to connect it with the other triology.

I actually think TPM is one of the best SW movies, it was great, Qui-Gon great Obi great Maul sure as hell great and the podrace was great 2. Also Qui-Gon and Obi Vs. Maul a REAL sword fight not just hitting the other guys Lightsaber like in ESB and ROTJ.

now guys dont get me wrong..i have been a SW fanatic since 77..i was 5 years old at the time and ever since then,I along with millions of other thirty somethings grew up in the trilogy's afterglow. i can still remember the utter elation and overwhelming anticipation when i first caught glimpse of the trailer for Empire and although Jedi did have its somewhat less than tactful moments, it closed the trilogy beautifully. all of us shed more than a tear or two when Vader died and for the first time, his ever so ominous theme song was played somberly on a solitary piano, reminiscent of the music that always played as a certain jade colored giant's alter-ego walked away down the street alone..without a doubt the films made their way into the realm of timless fairytale..aligning themselves with unforgettable classics somewhere between the wizard of oz and 2001: a space oddesy. ultimately and sadly though, as one of the above posts mentions, we are left with a mere shell of a man who has this awesome sandbox called ILM that, last time i checked seems to have produced the SFX for a whole lot of popular films over the last 2 decades..now Lucas seems hellbent on topping some of these latebreaking talents who spent many a year and many a million struggling to top what he did so brilliantly 20 years ago. yes the story is big, yes it's involved, yes there is alot to explain, but does every single scene have to try to outdo the creature cantina? it's distracting..not entertaining. to sum up my point, i love star wars but i didnt feel sad when qui-gon died..i felt ripped off..keep the comments comin!
