Star Wars Prequels??!!!

I personally love both the OT & the PT, but then I just watch these movies for the fun of it. Plot holes, and other things people complain about dont even faze me.

I agree enjoy the movies and stop nit picking
I was just on anther forum and people were complaining about the croping in a scene where you loose1 centimeter on the side, who cares it's not as if a whole person is missing, those are the types of fans that will never like the PT
and by the way
THere are no plot holes that I can see.
if anyone wants to point one out let me know

Actually, I find Natalie Portman doing a better job than Carrie Fisher did. Carrie never really made me want more, but Natalie does for some reason make me want to learn more about Padme, don´t know why...

I agree with superfly about TPM, you could actually have thrown it all away, the only fun thing too watch is when Maul kills off Qui-gon.
And Maul should have been there instead of dooku, Maul is one the most badass characters I have ever seen, just look at him!

My ranking of the SW movies(so far)
1: A new Hope
2: The Empire strikes back
3: Attack of the clones
4: Return of the Jedi
5: The Phantom Menace

That´s my five cents

Well Lord Banshee, I'm glad you like the OT better, but I think that your point about Episode 3 being like Episode 1 and 2 is a little off though. Yes, its like them in some ways, but it has better dialouge, Natalie Portman looks like she amotes more (she said she tried her best this time), Hayden is not whinning anymore, and the story is now about the turn of Anakin and him becoming Vader, so it differs a lot from the first two and will be a lot better thing.

My list:

1. Star Wars/Empire Strikes Back (Love 'em both, can't decide which more)
2. (Revenge of the Sith???This is just a guess remember)
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Attack of the Clones/Phantom Menace (I think the second one is darker, but the second one has a lot of flaws such as the corny love stuff, horrible dialouge, and some bad fx...)

1. Return of the Jedi
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. A New Hope
4. Attack of the Clones
5. The Phantom Menace

Reverse chronological order for me.

When I was a kid I liked Return of the Jedi best, but growing up I realized how much greater ESB and ANH were.

My personal favorite is ESB.
Hmm i was just reading a few pages back in the thread there....
In a way its intresting to see how the characters developed, but i do agree that sometimes it does seem a small world. But i still think the PT is great, but u really can't beat the OT no matter how hard u try.

yeah, same here. Return of the Jedi was the one I watched most often. I'd say I watch it least often these days. Which I guess tells us that Lucas's target audience was younger (whether he intened it or not).

mine are:

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
Return of the Jedi
Attack of the Clones/The Phantom Menace < can't decide...

Yeah the first two, I can't decide either. I think they are both great in their won way. ROTJ defiantely next. And then again, I can't decide between AOTC and PTM. I believe ROTS COULD be better than ROTJ, but we'll see.

Wow, MacGeeks list stuns me. I have to strongly disagree with it.

hunchy. you are going to be in for one hell of a shock on may 19.

What do you think after seeing the 3 new tv spots?

For me there is still no way ROTS will knock ESB or ANH from their spots at the top of my list... they're simply in a league of their own.

That will change, my friend. That will change.

no... I think the chances of that happening are slimmer than a million to one.

don't get me wrong, I think ROTS will be great! But nothing can compare to ESB 😄

It's a totally different generation. ANH, ESB and ROTJ revolutionized sci-fi. Sure the prequels are better visually speaking, the actors all suck compared to the originals. There are no great quotes from the prequels either. We'll see May 19th, but I doubt my opinion will change...

I'm glad for both of you. The less you think of the movie before hand, the more you'll enjoy it.

You two, are going to have the time of your lives in the theater, BUT....... at the same time, you'll have to move your "GOD" ESB, from the top of your list, to the one second from top.

am I not saying it right?

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

MacGeek, don't forget to count me too....But you are too young I believe to understand that there is no touching ESB or ANH. We have said that we think ROTS is gonna be a awesome, but they are in a totally different boat. Classics vs entertaining prequels.

As for the new tv spots they have gotten me even more excited and pumped. I can't wait for Episode 3. I see a lot of great fx, (the clonetroopers look amazing, and in some shots, could yes very well be real in my opinion) and a few shots where I think the fx are so-so....such as Obi Wan being chased by General Grevious in that wheel thing, that looks very bluescreened....but I'll wait to see the final thing on a bigger screen before I make my criticisms.

Fieperskaivu you make a good point saying that the OT is a different generation than the PT. For instance to provide a better example of how I feel, as a film critic, rating the ANH and ESB I would give them ****/****. Return of the Jedi I would give ***1/2, and I believe that ROTS looks to be a ***1/2 movie, and even if I possibly gave it **** it still wouldn't come close to matching the originals. While I don't give five stars, if Episode 3 was a 4 star movie, the originals would be like five star movies in comparison. Get my point?

You did make one good point, less expectations the better. You sure you don't have too high of hopes?

Now stop saying that we will regret it afterwards. I'd be happy to put everything I've got on betting that my opinion will not change from now till after the movie. Because you don't understand our points of view, which means that you are really actually useless to debate since you won't listen to us that everyone has a different opinion about things...just like you like the prequels better. I respect that, even though myself I think it is insane. So just accept that we like the OT better and leave it at that.

1. ESB
2.ROTJ
3.ANH
4.TPM
5.AOTC
