Two new Star Wars films not to involve Zhan? :O
Posts
Yeah. I liked the old movies, but I do not consider myself a Star Wars fan at this point.
You know, I do feel that this sums up the new trilogy. Tons of flashy effects and all the CGI bells and whistles, but when you actually look at it, it's laughably stupid. Trying to enjoy it is like eating a bowl of sugar for dessert; it's an overload on a good ingredient, which tastes boring and makes you sick to your stomach.
Nar Shadaa? The "vertical city" from Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, and Jedi Knight 2?
Also, orgies? Star Wars is supposed to be a PG thing, modeled after good, clean adventure/swashbuckling films (yes I know Kurosawa shut up). Orgies shouldn't even be mentioned.
But frankly I'd rather just imagine it than have Lucas write some fanfic-level canon about it.
Oh man, the diner scene? And the Nascar event? What the fuck? So solidly 20th-century. So inappropriate.
And who be shittin on the Clone wars series.
Good god that was the only good thing to come out of the fucking prequel's.
No wonder Lucas hated it.
what the.
I thought they were pretty neat. The majority of the animation was damn sweet.
Yeah, who the fuck do they think they are, getting annoyed that they paid $9 to watch a terrible product that shits on a franchise that they used to like? They should be grateful and should just enjoy whatever they're given. I mean, it's not like they're paying customers or anything.
How dare they feel entitled to a good product after paying money for it.
like what, since tie fighter
that was dos
DOS
Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series.
it never ran right on my computer at the time
so I sort of wiped that from my memory
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
No one forced you to go see episode one, or episode two, or episode three. And no one is going to force you to watch this.
If you hated the first prequel yet continued to subject yourself to them anyway it's your own fault.
I'd want blasters implanted into my knees rather than lightsabers, less change i'd cut my shit off.
Slow down there.
I feel that I have a right to be pissed about how shitty the first prequel was. I had no reason to expect it to be the total dogshit it was. I loved the other three movies, even if they weren't perfect, and I did not have a reason to suspect that the first prequel would be ass.
The second prequel, I'll take the blame for that one. I thought maybe Lucas just fucked up because he was rusty, and everyone was saying "this wasn't a shitfest like the first one." So I said to myself, "OK, he made four movies in this series and one was bad...let him have one mistake." So that's at least partially my fault.
The third one I did not pay for, and I only ended up seeing it because a friend was seeing it, and the guy he was going to go with had a family crisis. So I didn't pay for that one (they had pre-bought their tickets, so I just used the free one), I didn't expect it to be good, and I saw it to be a friend and keep my friend company, not because I wanted to see it.
These new ones? I won't see them. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't see any of the prequels, but when they came out I didn't know that they'd be so bad. If I had known that, again, I wouldn't have paid for any of them and wouldn't have watched them. Well, except the third one, because that wasn't something I did for me, that was for someone else.
So really, the only one that I see myself at fault for was the second prequel. I don't see what's wrong with complaining about how shitty the films are.
Same thing with The Matrix. I saw the first movie, it was great. I saw the second movie, it sucked. At this point, I feel I have a right to complain: I paid for something that I quite reasonably expected to be good, and it blew ass. I did not see the third Matrix film in any form.
Cool cool.
The Matrix films stopped being good after the first one because the Waichoskis got sued and couldn't steal material from Grant Morrison anymore.
You didn't miss much in that third one.
Yeah, I figured as much.
Anyway, my point was that I don't do the fanboy thing where I'll buy anything that says "Star Wars" or "Sony" or "Nintendo" or whatever. If I buy something and it's shit, it's pretty much always a surprise to some degree, as was the case with Star Wars 1, Star Wars 2 (I was going out on a limb there, so it was less of a surprise), and Matrix 2.
I really couldn't believe that they fucked up the Matrix sequels so badly. I mean I understand that you're saying they only made the first one good based on stealing stuff, but I did not know that at the time.
Hell, I went and saw it on my birthday.
