Is Star Wars the most over rated movie on the planet?
Im sure the new Ep 1 , 2 and 3 help out my case.

Are u going to buy all 6 episodes when they come out on some limited edition piece of crap?

Did you/ Do you have fantasies about Princess Lea??? If thats how u spell it

Hang on

Which is more over rated LOTR of Star Wars.
Personally they are both suck ass.

and did u fantasize about gollem?

I refuse to associate myself with the dredge Lucas is now calling the "improved" Star Wars trilogy. They are an abomination upon mankind.

It's Leia and... no :rolleyes:

The Original Trilogy, were some of the best films ever made.

The new ones are crap.

they're not that crappy, but their main purpose was to show of with special effects

Im sorry but if their main reasoning was to show off with graphics then that just makes them really crap.

I think his main purpose was to make money for producing crap. Riding on the sucees of ep 4, 5, and 6. Thats all he has done. I would of preferred to send him the 60 dollars (avg money to go see them) not to make ep 1, 2, and 3

I'm just glad they don't resort to fighting ALL the time like in Matrix and LOTR sequels

Has anyone ever watched the sword-play in any of the movies?..

You can dance. Or you can fight.

:headbang:

Eps 1 and 2 are the worst prequels I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Face it - most prequels are crap. Its tough to write a prequel as good as an original story. But Star Wars goes much further than that: the prequels destroy the original movies. A few friends of mine say that it's a seperate series and has nothing to do with Star Wars. I'm insanely envious of them. I can't watch the original series anymore. The force doesn't exist. Darth Vader's nothing more than a winey bitch who misses his mommy.

My bitterness runs deep.

Prequelling sucks

I thinks it would be the best idea to name Ep 1..3 not "Star Wars" and completely remake the other/make whole new films

cheers to that!

Amen. The new ones are nothing more than special effects showboats with few SE worth showboating.

You wich of the origianal trilogy was best?

Empire Strikes Back.

Why?

Lucas didnt direct it.

He shouldnt have directed the last two either.

Overrating is over rated. Man am I sick of people calling things over rated.

Yes the new ones are sub-par, yes Lucas' additions go from unneeded to stupid (Han fires first. Otherwise there is ZERO arc for that character.), BUT:

A little six year old was completely fixated, and that movie stayed with me into my adult life. I'm not going to jump on the nattering naybob of negativity train because I want to be cynical. The films where magic and they have endured because of it. Even my nephew of five years old can't get enough, and his dad is racked with distractions for him.

I can go on with you about matrix... but when it comes to LOTR, it had to translate to screen what it is written in the books.
The LOTR books are a litterature masterpiece with accurate description of EPIC battles.. so you see, they had to be there...

Star Wars are a very nice fairytail (episode 4-5-6) the three last one actually take away the fun from the old ones...

I know about LOTR. It's just all they do in the third movie is fight, which is too bad I think. I think they just got carried away in those Massive Movement Simulations

I love the original trilogy. but as far as i'm concerned, this new group ARE NOT STAR WARS. And in episode 3, i want to see TIE Fighters!

You Know You're Addicted to Star Wars When...

You can recite *all* the dialogue from the trilogy.

You watch the entire trilogy at least once a month.

You wonder why the SW theme never makes it into those "clasical collections."

Whenever you went anywhere outside with your friends, you always walked single file, to hide your numbers.

You've written several letters to the President recommending that he dissolve the council, put power in the hands of the regional governors, and let fear keep the local systems in line.

Whenever you catch sight of cars behind yours, you say "Fighters, coming in, point three five."

Someone else in your car says "What about that tower?"

You respond, "You worry about those fighters, I'll worry about the tower", and moments later your car slams into the water tower the passenger was referring to.

When a cop catches you speeding, you floor it, saying "I've outrun Imperial starships, and not the local bulk cruisers..."

When someone apologizes to you, you choke him and tell him that you accept his apology.

You ride your motorbike through the forest at top speed, and survive after throwing yourself off just before it hits a tree.

You've 'wielded' a flashlight and made humming sounds.

You wave your hand purposefully and 'use the force' to open and close automatic doors or elevator doors.

You go over to a friends, go to his refrigerator, and crawl in throwing food and stuff over your shoulder and grunting.

You have a Yoda figurine replacing the brand symbol on the hood of your car.

Your significant other dumps you because everytime she/he says, "I love you" you always respond, "I know."

You quote Yoda to defend your political beliefs.

You have so many SW Trilogy GIF's, JPG's, MIDI's, AVI's, WAV's, MPG's, icons and text files that you're rapidly running out of disk space and have to buy a bigger hard drive just to hold them all.

You have so many SW posters that you can't see your ceiling or floor, either.

When your friends confide in you and tell you their deepest, darkest secrets, you say, "You are far too trusting."

When your dad says, "I am your father," you begin to scream uncontrollably and shout, "NOOOO! It's not true!" at the top of your lungs.

You have ever thought the world would be a better place if it were like the Rebel Alliance/New Republic.

Obiwan Kenobi and Yoda come to you in your dreams and give you advice about tough situations you're dealing with.

Yoda's little sayings have had a profound impact on your life, and you abide by them religiously.

Instead of saving for college, you save up for Star Wars stuff you plan to buy.

Anyone who doesn't like Star Wars you proclaim is an Imperial.

You've ever told your younger brother at the dinner table, "Use the fork, Luke."

You've ever roped off your Star Wars Action Figure collection, claiming it to be an independent nation.


Just thought I'd share....

Ep 1&2 were NOT crap. They weren't as good as the original 3 but they were STILL good movies! Everyone who says they sucked is too die-hard for the originals that they couldn't see a good movie if it bit them on the ass. Did you buy them when they came out on video? If so, why?

I'm just glad they don't resort to fighting ALL the time like in Matrix and LOTR sequels

The other LotR films are hardly sequals, dumb ass. They are acontinuation of the same story, a story in three parts. And you try making a film about the events of a world war that dosn't involve a large amount of fighting.

Is Star Wars the most over rated movie on the planet?
Im sure the new Ep 1 , 2 and 3 help out my case.

Are u going to buy all 6 episodes when they come out on some limited edition piece of crap?

Did you/ Do you have fantasies about Princess Lea??? If thats how u spell it

I don't know if it was overrated, I've never seen Star Wars before.

Eps 1 and 2 actually relied more on drama and character building than on any plot. It wass an introduction of main characters such as Obi Wan Kanobi and Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker (Eps 1 and 2), Boba Fett (Episode 2), Yoda (1 and 2)

They were decent movies and followed it better than my mom did. At least we know how the clone wars started now and the Yoda fight scene in 2 was very well done.

Episode III (Revenge of the Sith) isn't out yet so no one can say that it is crap or not. I have a Star Wars Hyperspace Membership and I am seeing alot of behind the scenes stuff that normal people can't if they don't have such a membership. From what I'm seeing, "Revenge of the Sith" will be the darkest Episode in the 6 movie set. Can't wait to see the fight scene between Anakin and Obi Wan. Episode III will tie up some loose ends but I think the books that will lead into Ep IV will shed more light.

I do have Ep I and II on dvd and watch them constantly. I will probably watch them the day before Ep III comes out and I am hoping to catch the Midnight showing of it at the local theater.

May the Force be with you.

So what hole have you been living in all your life

Well, I watched it when I was about 5 years old, but it bored me and I don't even remember anything from it. All I know is that it's about some guy named Darth Vader, and that there is a robot named R2-D2 or something in it.
