OMG LUCAS SUXX I CAN DOES STAR WARS BETTER THAN HIM OLOLOLOL

Anywho, just wanted to say that me and the wifey are stoked to be taking our kiddo to see Ep. 1 tomorrow! I'm looking forward to enjoying a good time at the movies with my family whilst giving zero fucks about all the stupid shit. We'll be seeing it in 2D, I don't think my little one would keep glasses on through an entire movie. Yeah yeah I'll be contributing to Lucas' "gold-plated penthouse next door to satan when I get to hell" fund, sorry about it.

Ok that's it- nerdrage away at me if you so desire. Or not. Either way, it's all good!

The way I see it, (1) Their Lucas' films. He owns them. He has every right to change them as he sees fit. He also has every right to lie about what his original intent was. (2) Fans have every right to feel that Lucas changing the films ruins them and to call him out on being a liar. Beyond that, IMO, anyone who loses even a single ounce of sleep over any of this needs to reprioritize.

Hopefully this is the best $2 I'll ever spend.

Took my 6 month old daughter to physical therapy a couple of days ago. Some well meaning boy in the waiting room asked if she liked star wars and whipped out his light saber. ...then proudly informed me, and everyone else, "I'm wearing Star Wars underpants!."

His mother chased him away.

Psh! I still use that line in the physical therapy waiting room. More often than not, it works.

Do you whip out your lightsaber in the process? It's very awesome.

Some guy just trolling the internet by claiming the prequels are better because they're more politically relevant.

Of course, he doesn't acknowledge that two of the three were written before 9/11.

So I finally saw TPM in 3D today. As I suspected, the 3D was pretty fucking shitty. Ticket cost $15.25. Still, its nice to see the movie in the theater again, since the last time I saw it in a theater was almost 13 years ago.

Does anyone have any info on when the next film will be released? Sadly I'll go see it even though I'm not expecting anything better than this. I am excited for the OT though, albeit not really the original trilogy.

Last I heard they were planning on releasing one a year, but that depends on how well Phantom does first.

Big props to the architect. There's no way that was an accident.

Agreed! It appears to be a practical and useful design, which is how it got approved, and it's even possible that there were some people on the committee that voted for it who didn't even notice the design. Or heck, voted for it because of the design, but were able to back it up because it still works.

Pffft, that's nothing. I once saw a roundabout on Google Maps that looked just like the Death Star.

10 years? Wow. I guess it's about time to put the travesty behind us. Hopefully we have used this time to heal.

Nah, no hatred. I have completely forgiven Mr. Lucas for his actions. That's not to say I would mind him being put on trial for his crimes against humanity, but there's no hatred.

. All is forgiven.

I don't hate AOTC. It's too damn funny to hate, and it's still a hell of a lot more watchable than Episode I, even if only by default.

If they removed the vomit-inducing love story, then the movie could have passed off as a cheesy, laughable, so-bad-it's-kinda-good sci-fi action flick. But every time Anankin and Padme are on screen together, their lines just make you want to gouge out your ear drums with a rusty pair of scissors. Gods, I literally think that movie has the absolute worst romantic dialogue in the history of cinema.

Yeah, I've never laughed at a movie as much as at Clones. Granted, we were laughing at it, but whatever, we had a blast.

ZBomber · « **Reply #1188 on:** May 17, 2012, 07:52:33 PM »

AOTC is easily the worst Star Wars movie.

Super Dude · « **Reply #1189 on:** May 17, 2012, 08:09:10 PM »

I think the prequel trilogy is the worst Star Wars movie. I honestly have a difficult time choosing the true cream of the crap.
