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.
But Jackson didn't write the story.

Point is? If Lucas had not written the PT, it'd been much better films?I think adapting LOTR to the screen was a hell of a job, but true, you don't have to invent the story. You still have to tell it well though.
I know this is EU Queeq but I just landed two copies of Splinter of the Mind's Eye! 1 dollar each at a second hand store. One of them has a variation, the title's text is red, and it is the paperback version.

I got the comic book series as a couple of months ago. It was the first EU book I ever read. But it is EU... so shoo shoo.
Right, I also scored the three original paper back novels.
One time I had a customer that told me he had all 6 of the original books, and he said at the time Steven Spielberg had no idea what he had on his hands, lol.
Sometimes it is best to nod and smile, otherwise I would have to explain a lot to that guy, lol.

Yes, I was watching on on a classic channel, it is a VERY old film so I thought you may have seen it.

Looks like it was filmed during the revolutionary war. Shame they didn't have CGI back then.

Hehe, I am the same way. I have the movies so why bother?
I wanna try though - i wanna see if the novelizations made the "experience" better, or if they're just... bad.
but yeah - i have the movies, have watched it so many times... so why bother, right?
