I was a huge fan of the original Star Wars movies. I knew every scene and every line. I could not get enough of them, and then when I heard they were finally making three new ones, I thought it was great.
So I sit there watching the new Star Wars, the Phantom thingy, and I am like "This is so cool!" Then it goes on and soon there is this kid that can not act, and a story line that is weak at best. I think, well maybe they will get past this whole desert planet thing and soon we will have more story and action. Then this Pod Race thing comes up and last and last and last, I am nearly screaming "give me a break!" twenty years of waiting and we get a 25 minute race scene to promote some obvious tie in for a video game. People in the crowd were booing when the movie ended and I walked away wishing there was a hell for George Lucas to go to it.
Well a few year later and I see these actors in movies where they show they actually can act, well the boy from the original is never seen in anything again (wonder why?). So soon the Clone movie is coming and I hoping "Please let it be better .... Please!" It starts with an older Anikan, he looked better, might have promise. At least Jar Jar was not a main character. It gets going and soon I start trying to grab a joy stick, thinking with all these video affects this must be a giant PS2. These characters speak, but they sound like robots repeating the lines typed into the key board. Although, as a highlight we see old Yoda kick some butt in the end, after endless nothingness and nonsense. Not to mention all the loop holes these movies created with not working with the originals. Yet, I was a little happier with this one.
Soon the Sith one is coming, oh this has to be good. He turns into Darth Vader, we get some answers and see some dark times. Well, it was better, but much like all three it had those lame lines that made no sense and seemed so odd when spoken, "Anny ... Hold me like you did near that lake in Naboo" Blah!!! Lame. At least we had lots of light saber action though and the Emperor kicked ass on all those wimpy do good Jedi. So in the end we finally see Vader, cool. Wait, now it is over? In the end, George Lucas your a dam bastard who did a ton of injustice to the fans and I wish you would have let someone who actually enjoyed the reason why the first three were good, write and direct these three. Hopefully, one day when he is dead and buried, they will redo the story lines and do like Highlander did and act like number 2 never happened.
In any sense, I am a Star Wars fan of 4,5, and 6. I kind of liked 3 and put up with 2, and use 1 as something to start fires.
