the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

I hope George Luca's son continues destroying them untli one day they are like Mork from Ork

You are arguing with things I never said, n/a. Never change.

I liked the original trilogy, but at a cerain point it kicks in that they ain't Max Ophuls.
btw best post-Jedi Star Wars moment is the bar mitzvah in Deconstructing Harry.

You are arguing with things no one has said, Morbz. Never change.

has anyone done a serious study of the neck issue? i saw a clip from a circa 1995 doc the other day and it was bad but nowhere near today's "south american frog inflating its neck sack" look.

The "NOOOOO!" moment in ROTS was a pretty shark-jump moment for me, but i think in the theater by that time I was like "Okay, we're in straight-up b-movie monster territory now" and it was silly and cheesy but here's a guy in a black cape named Darth Vader so really it was cheesy all along. Christopher Lee in the mix too, here we go Hammer.

Part of me really wishes they stuck to the original Empire script depiction of Darth Vader living in an evil-looking castle, feeding gargoyles by a lava lake or something.

even the stupids didn't squander christopher lee as unforgivably as lucas did

Don't forget dinosaur but CGI'd in front of Sir Alec.

here's a guy in a black cape named Darth Vader so really it was cheesy all along.

we have a winner

how can the "NOOOOOOO!" be a shark-jump in a trilogy that has already given us:

Jar-Jar Binks
young Anakin, builder of C-3P0
older Anakin, wooden seducer of his former babysitter
Jango Fett

mark i keep seeing movement in that ewok pic, but i know that PNGs can't move

I mean, I thought the "she died because she was sad" bit was WAAAAAAAY more ludicrous than Vader's "NOOOOOOO!"

she was REALLY sad though

it was sad, she was sad

sad that her name wasn't "jango"

Films were never that good -- would agree except for empire which still holds up (just watch the first 10 minutes to confirm)
teen who prefers Annie Hall -- is right! Except for empire which has aged much better. Allen inserting McLuhan as a cameo might have been fresh at the time but now that Lucas can digitally insert Naomi Klein into Cantina scene on a whim this seems old hat. Also empire has better jokes and comedic timing.
Annie hall just has ewoks

she withered away from melancholy

I like to think that she was really broken up about not getting to wear the ludicrous wigs and makeup and her secret husband turning into a child murdering dickbag was just the final straw

By the post-count ye shall know what is valued, Sotosyn

ATTACK OF THE CLONES vs LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN

(by "that good," I mean worthy of more attention than Robert Aldrich's Ulzana's Raid)

True, true. Yeah, but Jar-Jar, young Anakin, all that is pretty peripheral. Darth Vader is like the first iconic figure that appears in Star Wars. This isn't baby Anakin accidentally blowing up the Death Donut or a clone of Boba Fett's father, this is the actual real Darth Vader from the original film. The guy that could choke somebody to death from across the room, he was so badass. And suddenly he's basically reliving a moment from Lethal Weapon or something.

Allen inserting McLuhan as a cameo might have been fresh at the time but now that Lucas can digitally insert Naomi Klein into Cantina scene on a whim this seems old hat.

He should digitally insert Woody Allen at the Mos Eisley bar complaining to Morbz and a pack of sad Ophuls fans.

why am i beginning to think morbs has a "leia in metal bikini" costume hidden in his closet.

If Jar-Jar and young Anakin had been peripheral to "The Phantom Menace", it would have been a wholly different, infinitely better movie!

xp: maybe strike out "costume"?

guys, let's just chill with some golden moments from the sad life of padme jango
