Right, I'm making this short and simple... Star Wars... do you like it?
-
Star wars is just plain awesome!
-
well I both like it and not. Episode IV V VI is classics and really really great. They werent made on a PC but with models, and if you ask me, it looks much better with modes than 3d, you can always see if it is 3d or not in the later movies. Episode I and II was nothing but ordinary movies, not even the plot was out of the ordinary. Though the last episode, episode III succeded in making a worthy end for the saga, it was really a great movie!

IV V VI are the best out of them all. Nothing but Space Balls comes clos
If your living in a bubble and and you haven't got a clue... They're SPACEBALLS! Watchout... they're coming for your air... they're SPACEBALLS! Watchout...
What's the matter Colonel Sanders?.... Chicken!?
NO NO NO NO Light speed is to slow
Lightspeed to slow?
We must go straight to.... LUDICRUSE SPEED
They've gone to plad!
Yogurt? I HATE yogurt..

IV--Awesome
V--Even better
VI--Ewoks!?! Wha?
I and II--meh
III Much better, but doesn't touch IV and V
By the way, give me Empire's Yoda over CGI Yoda any day. Yoda hopping around in those light-saber duels was just plain silly and should not have been done.

IV, V & VI - True classics which are permanently etched into my brain, word for word.
I & II- So horrifically bad that I've boycotted ever paying in any way to see III. George Lucas hasn't done ANYTHING good since Willow. It is my belief that after this point, he was replaced by government officials with a corpse inlaid with animatronics from a Disney ride, with an Atari 2600 operating his central AI functions.
Bloop, Blip. Give money now!

The first three were fine....I enjoyed them and got my geek slaps early to avoid the rush at school.
Then a shadow moved across the franchise....
I have absolutely refused to spend one PENNY on anything tied to the franchise now. And except for ONE actor and one or two supporting actors...you can chuck em in a compactor and flip the switch for all I care.
Too much venom? I hate because I care!
I'll just keep sending checks directly to Hamil and Fischer..they deserve it....(Well not the paltry amount I can send :) )
*Breaks out his copy of SpaceBalls and sighs*

HA HA! You fall to the power of the Downside of the Shwartz.. MU HA HA HA HA HA HA!
-
I see your Schwartz is smaller than mine....what have you been doing!
-
*sigh*
-
I love the movie Willow!
-
Spaceballs the Flamethrower!!
-
Right! That's enough of that, this line has become entirely too silly!
Next line of humor please.
Out out, the lot of you...*mustache twitches*
I'll report you to the Captain you silly silly people.

Yep... I, II and III made me think of a new Grammy...
"And now the award for the most money made in a 'Movie Made For Merchandising' is......"
"Merchandising Merchandising. Where the REAL money is made..." Yogurt
"Hopefully we will see each other in the sequal. Space Balls II: The Quest for More Money" Yogurt

I couldn't have put it better myself. Eventhough i did go and see number III in the cinema, the never ending have to be friend with you girlfriend issue.
-
Yep, what everyone else has said.
But The new ones could have been good!
you know the problem?
No lovable characters and great lines!!!
All flashy CG crap. I don't care if this guy dies, I don't even know his name!!!
Give me the finicky Millennium Falcon any day!
And the robots talking??? What the Poopsmith??? :(

The original version of 4, 5 and 6 were works of art with good plot and tolerable dialog.
George has made his money though so I don't think he really cares about the audience's expectations versus what his own expectations were when he first started the whole thing.
Now, if you want to see a shining example of something done right for once in the entertainment industry... Peter Jackson.

Ahh star wars, so nerdy....I like it but LOTR is much, much better if you ask me.

End to a saga?? its the middle movie that explains the last 3 movies, 4 5 6 lol

i hve been a dedicated starwars fan since i first saw a new hope on video as a toddler.
i even believe in the force (on a certain level), except the whole mediclorians thing from episode I.
i don't know what qui-gon was drinking, but i'll have a glass of it.

Episode 1: very nice
Episode 2: cool effects
Episode 3: Rushed, not the best
Episode 4/5/6 they are the orignals and you really cannot beat them with any type of special effects, but that doesent mean they cannot try :P
-
Episode 1: Williams' score saved that one, and Park's casting as Maul made for the best lightsaber combat in any Star Wars movie... but honestly. "Are you an angel?" "Yippee!" "Whoops! *Trade Federation ship explodes*" Midichlorians? Immaculate conception? and... *shudders* "Meesa Jar-Jar Binks!"
Episode 2: Redeeming feature: Again, Williams comes through - also, Ewan MacGregor's Obi-Wan vs. Jango Fett. A nice touch. Also spawned the Clone Wars series, which is justification in and of itself. Unforgivable Mistakes: The "diner" on Coruscant. Threepio's one-liners: "I'm quite beside myself", "This is such a drag"... what in the name of the Force?!? These are idiomatic and anachronistic! What are they doing? Jar Jar as interim ambassador. Yoda's little spinning battle with Dooku (his fight in Ep III was better). And, of course, the worst pick-up line in Jedi history: "I killed them all.. and the women, and the children." *oh, let me comfort you!* :P
Episode 3: A combination of good and bad. Redeeming Features: Ewan MacGregor. He actually looks like a younger Alec Guiness. Have a look at Ep IV after Ep III - it's totally believable. Ian McDiarmid. The fact that he played the role of Palpatine in FIVE movies is astonishing - only Anthony Daniels beats that, and Lucas largely removed him from Ep III. Unforgivable Oversights: Anakin/Vader. (I'm not blaming Hayden Christianson for this, this is all Lucas.) "Oh, I shouldn't kill Dooku... *slice*." "Oh, you know about the dreams I've been having - you couldn't POSSIBLY have had a hand in them, of course not." "Oh, I'm suddenly going to become an advocate of dictatorship as the best possible form of governance." (And, most injurious of all,) "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Grevious. He was an unstoppable killing machine in Clone Wars. Why, then, is he such a wimp in Sith? If it were that easy to kill him, ONE of the Jedi he'd faced before would've done him in. Timeline. We see the plans for the Death Star in Eps II and III... and then, 18-20 years later, it's complete. AFTER the destruction of DS I, (according to the title crawl), DS II starts construction - and is operational in 3-4 years. Also, the Arc 130 fighters look suspiciously like X-wings - are we to understand that while there's minimal improvements in fighter design in the 20 year gap, in the course of 4 years of civil war, we get the B-wing and A-wing?
Regardless, I'm a sucker for the franchise, and my objections notwithstanding, I look forward to the next book/game/tv show with the bright-eyed hopefulness of one who hasn't been burned, despite evidence to the contrary. *sigh* Oh well. It's just part of the desire for a lightsaber that burns in the heart of every fan of the series. :)
