STAR WARS (untagged spoilers, yo)

[CousinMerl]

I just thought we should have a thread here for this popular science-fiction saga. In case some of you don't know, Star Wars is awesome.

[laurso99]

I still maintain episode 1 would have been good if they just stuck to the Darth Maul stuff cut out all the overly kiddy jar-jar binks shite. Then again they seemed to take up half the movie, so maybe im just being to superlative for a film that only had one good strand.

[Sam]

Best scene in the entire prequel trilogy, and even it's choppy.

[zach]

i dislike it.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Palpatine is my favorite character throughout the saga. This is why I really like Revenge of the Sith despite all the problems. I don't mind the other 2 prequels as much as most either.

[The Spruce Moose]

Empire >>> New Hope >>> Jedi >>> Revenge >>> AIDS >>> Phantom Menace >>> Clones

[Must Kill Moe]

i dislike it.

My troll detector is going wild!

[The Thompsons]

1. Empire
2. New Hope
3. Sith
4. Jedi
5. Clones
6. Phantom

Which one is AIDS?

[kupomog]

I'll watch the prequels if they're on but I'd really prefer not to. They're ok in general but to deliberately subject myself to it is not something I jive with.

[CousinMerl]

I think I'm one of the only ones on the web not to hate 'The Phantom Menace' (or either of the other two prequel movies). I'm definitely looking forward to seeing EpII in 3D next year; it was fun seeing the 3D version of EpI this year.

[Zombies Rise from the Sea]

It was fun seeing the 3D version of EpI this year.

I wish I could of seen the 3D version of Ep I but I guess I didn't feel the strong need to go; hopefully Ep II 3D will be worthy enough of going.

[Elf Girl]

I like all the movies except the first prequel.

A New Hope is a classic. So it gets my vote.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

If they're still doing the 3D when Revenge of the Sith is re-released I'll definitely see it in the theaters, assuming I'm alive of course...

[B*O*R*T]

is this just for the films because i was gonna say how much i loved knights of the old republic. bought it in a steam sale last christmas and played it non-stop until the new year. as good as most of the films are, i really enjoyed the story lines of the expanded universe.

[iambobdole1]

Obviously Empire is the best of the original trilogy, but for me, I think Return of the Jedi might just edge out A New Hope.

[ParadoxLantern]

I liked the revenge of the sith. But i can live without the other 2.

[Sam]

Obviously Empire is the best of the original trilogy, but for me, I think Return of the Jedi might just edge out A New Hope.

You're talking crazy Bob.

[CousinMerl]

You're talking crazy Bob.

What's wrong with preferring Jedi to A New Hope?

It's a great way to end the saga and has got several really nice and memorable scenes (the speeder bike chase kicks ass).

[Sam]

My father is an avid Star Wars fan and I was raised to hate ewoks.

[CousinMerl]

The hate for the ewoks is so overrated.

[Sam]

I would and should agree but I'd be going against every Return of the Jedi viewing of my childhood.

[iambobdole1]

Star Wars hate hierarchy:
1. Greedo shooting first
2. Jar-Jar Binks
3. Episodes 1-3 in general
4. Ewoks

[Nicky]

Episode 1 has a special place in my heart because of all the nostalgia but compared to the others it is bile. Apart from the last 30 mins or so.

I didn't really like 2 at all, but 3 was certainly interesting even with Anakinemo being irritating.

4 is my absolute favourite alongside 5 but 6 does have a few flaws.

so how I rank them is this
IV/V
VI
III
II
I

Star Wars hate hierarchy:
1. Greedo shooting first
2. Jar-Jar Binks
3. Episodes 1-3 in general
4. Ewoks

Does the stupid "NOOO!" that was added to Return of the Jedi fit in there at all?

[iambobdole1]

Urrgh. Okay, let's call that one #4, and move ewoks to 5

[CousinMerl]

Does people really hate the altered Han & Greedo scene more than Jar Jar?

[Sam]

A fraction of a second alteration doesn't change my life, nor does a CGI skinned bunny.

[Shaunbadia]

Does people really hate the altered Han & Greedo scene more than Jar Jar?

I was young enough at the time to enjoy Jar Jar for what he was...an annoying dumbass.
But yeah, I still hate the whole "Greedo shot first" thing.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Hayden being the Anakin spirit at the end of Jedi and the "NOOOO" in Jedi are terrible. The rest I don't really get bothered by. I'd say personally I like Empire then Sith then Hope then Jedi then it doesn't matter, but again that's keeping in mind that my favorite character is Palpatine. I think Empire and Hope are easily the best movies on a technical scale. I would rank Jedi higher but the Emperor scenes aren't enough to cancel out the boring first half hour and ewoks.

[iambobdole1]

Does people really hate the altered Han & Greedo scene more than Jar Jar?

Yes. I hate to go all fanboy here, but...for me it's not so much that Greedo shoots first, but it's the fact that he somehow misses AT ARM'S FUCKING LENGTH that gets under my skin. I mean seriously? We're supposed to believe that a professional bounty hunter can't even get the easiest shot in the world??? The original cut was better, since Han was smarter and shot before that green SOB knew what was coming.
