like seriously, from teh coolest movie title ever (at least when you're a kid), STAR. WARS. to... "a new hope."
or making Raiders into Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

her name is "hope" in the film
Anakin: I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM!

The CGI "celebration sequence across the galaxy" in Return of the Jedi, the updated version. Like the Ewok song was bad enough George.

can't imagine what a kid who's already seen I-III would think of "A New Hope." But then any kid that actually sat through I-III without the memory of the original trilogy is already unfathomable to me.

ya i mean, if you watch them "in order" does it make any kind of sense?
― Cowardly G. Soundgarden (s1ocki), Wednesday, 15 July 2009 18:06 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah it's weird to think that someday (if not already) there will be folks who will naturally gravitate towards watching the six films in numerical order

I keep drilling my 8 year old son over and over again that Empireis the best, but Ep III is his favorite. "Anakin's annoying.""So what, he's cool. And I like droidekas."

droidekas?

This is probably more of a good thing than a crime, but that the key battle scene between Anakin and Obi Wan Kenobi appears to be entirely modelled on the Black Knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

what a disaster this will be for whatever young mutant would actually watch them all for the first time in numerical order

i guess what really pissed me off is that when i watched the original trilogy i there were passing mentions of a young anakin/vader, i always imagined this amazing charismatic, grim, kinda sociopathic dude who would be played by some epic actor, but then they toss it to some asshole who comes off like a fratboy killer from some episode of csi: miami.

what bugs me even more is that young badass obi wan turned out to be such a drip... he really should have been the han of hte series...
― Cowardly G. Soundgarden (s1ocki), Wednesday, 15 July 2009 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i mean alec guinness was kind of weirdly imposing, right? and ewan mcgregor came off as kind of...short?

they always implied that obi-wan was a real loose cannon and his recklessness is sorta what "made" darth vader

Darth Maul sure was thrilling, though, no? With his Mudvayne make up and everything?

insertion of Hayden Christensen ghost at the end of Jedi was particularly grating and is a handy symbol for the new films poisoning the old ones.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 18:15 (fourteen years ago) link
oh remember when obi wan and liam neeson double-teamed him? that was so cheap!! they also double-teamed count dooku, an elderly man
― Cowardly G. Soundgarden (s1ocki), Wednesday, 15 July 2009 18:16 (fourteen years ago) link
it's such a basic rule, the GOOD GUYS are supposed to be outnumbered
Its been hinted at, but it needs to be said - CGI Jabba.
Motherfucker had GRAVITAS when you just assumed that he was moved by people, based on his influence. Now, thanks to Colonel Neck Retention Chinstrap's merciless fucking about, Jabba is a slug, skirting around freighter bays on Mos Eisley.

half the OG characters were these free-wheeling assholes too, and everyone in the new trilogy was really inert and studied.

i gotta say i thought macgregor was a great obi wan but its not hard to look good in those movies

seriously, the whole awesome thing about jabba in return of the jedi was he didn't move

Bad image. Very bad image.

i thought macgregor got the voice down 100% and he was ok in some ways, but his physical presence was nil imo

he had the voice down and he seemed game but he had nothing to do but frown and scold

i guess macgregors obi-wan should have been the WORST thing in a potentially amazing star wars prequels and instead it turned out to be the best

The idea that nearly every jedi in the universe can be killed by a bunch of regular dudes in one fell swoop, and without each death being an incredible epic battle, drove me insane.

you know, in theory I appreciate trying to make Anakin's move to the dark side feel like the result of a personal/emotional tragic flaw as opposed to an intellectual decision, but holy geez did they take this way too far, even despite all the crappy exposition, basically making his change into Vader feel like the result of just being a jackass teen-rebel wannabe who fell in with the wrong crowd
