StarWars, Episodes 1-3, I HAVE to. . .I just HAVE TO:

Lucas ruined episodes 4-6. Think about it, don't just be blindly loyal just because you're fanatical about star wars. if you watch these movies in sequential order, you wind up knowing that Luke and Leia are brother and sister before you're supposed to (it was a bigger shocker and a tender moment when you realize this in 'Return of the Jedi,' thanks to episode 3, it ruins this moment. and makes that part when Leia kisses Luke kind of gross in 'The Empire Strikes Back') besides, it also makes Luke's question to Leia about "HER" mother completely worthless ("do you remember your mother?") What's also ruined is Darth Vader (In so many ways!) when you see Darth Vader for the first time in 'A New Hope,' it's the classic villian introduction, Now, because you see him in 'Revenge of the Sith' it RUINS that scene. I was Hoping beyond all reason that Lucas would have done something to make it SEEM like Anakin and Vader were two different people and continue with the fisade that Vader killed Anakin until 'The Empire Strikes Back.' now, it's no shock, and there's no wonder to what Vader looks like under the mask. That whole scene when Anakin becomes Vader is EXTREMELY Akward and is too corny to believe. Lucas killed Anakin with episodes 1-3. I always imagined Anakin as this awesome uncompromising Jedi who was GRADUALLY seduced by the dark side. Not a whiney teenager who barely realizes his potential, is way too emotional, who suddenly 'switched' in less time it takes to read this review! All based on a dream that his Jedi training (If he was some awesome/powerful Jedi) should have told him that may or may not have been true (and could wind up being a self-fulfilling prophecy)

Nice hair a-hole!

Episodes 1-3 dumb down Darth Vader to a spoiled brat used to getting his way. How dare Lucas shatter the image of Vader as being an intelligent, powerful, and cold villian. I think it's embarrasing that the audience is almost FORCED to feel more intrest and wonder to the side stories rather than the main story they're supposed to be paying attention to! IE: what happens to Obi Wan, Yoda, and Bail Organa. I stayed till the end to see what happens to them and wound up not caring too much about Anakin and Palpatine. (because I already knew!)

Now you can re-experience the dumbest\most akward scene in Episode 3 with this latest playset!

If these movies were going to be made, he should have made them 7-9 so that the technology and story would have been something fresh and new, or here's an idea: introduce a completely different story arc that happens to take place in the Star Wars universe. maybe he should have looked at the millions of books that were written about Star Wars and adapted some of them to film. (because seriously, if you read ANY of them, the stories there are WAY better and extremely more imaginitive than what ultimately became episodes 1-3) To all the fan-boys out there who disagree with me on principle alone, open your mind. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and consider 4-6 three of the best sci-fi movies ever made. I got rid of my first collection of the "special edition" trilogy and picked up the new ones that feature the ORIGINAL films on SEPRATE DVD's, (the "un-stupified trilogy" I call it) I can't imagine ever touching the special editions ever again. Don't be so blind and say "well the effects were good for 1-3" At this point, there should be no "bad" effects, and effects are an excuse not to be imaginitive. Use effects to enhance a story like in "once upon a time in mexico" (see the documentary on the DVD and you'll see what I mean) not to tell the entire story.
