Gah it is all ruined now....maybe they did it to save money as well.
Jackson made the second best saga of all time.
Lucas made the best saga of all time.
Why should Jackson take over what Lucas made better ?
There are a lot of things I do not like in Star Wars. I could make a very long list. Still it is the best saga/movie of them all.
I find it much harder to find failure (things I do not like) in LOTR (okay, when i watched them for the second, third time etc. I find all the Frodo stuff a little boring - I didn't when I watch them the first time). Seems that Star Wars is just a better story with stronger characters. Jackson is great, but could he has made Star Wars better. We don't know, but I don't think so.
I have just watched LOTR again. Why didn't they just send an eagle out to throw the ring in the volcano ? The eagle could just carry it in a back or something.
