Sure you won't find a new hope?

Ahh, it's good to be back.

Wanna know what I hate? When people complain about Episodes 1,2 and 3. They're not just a pile of junk. The third one was actually pretty good. In my opinion.

Me too.

Hayden Christensen's acting was bad in Episode II, but he was much better in Episode III, in my opinion.

Here are my theories.

1) I thought the scene in Return of the Jedi, with the Ewoks dancing, would be "the end of the end". I didn't expect them to go and tell what happened before, and I thought there wasn't anything more to tell.

2) The CGI sort of made the "oldie-classical" look of the original episodes (with Jabba the Hutt being merely a large puppet, and not from the magic of visual effects) look "pre-historical" to those picky moviegoers.

3) I also had to give a laugh when the MPAA decided to give Episode III a PG-13 rating. I thought Star Wars was supposed to be that family-friendly (yet, still have its fair share of sci-fi violence) film franchise that everyone knows and grew up with.

I don't think The Phantom Menace was that bad, but I really didn't like Attack of the Clones. Anywho, Episode VII isn't supposed to be released until 2015, then we won't know what the storyline is for quite a while. But, if it were up to me, we all know how Luke and Leia started off. So I'd like to know a little bit about how Han Solo started off.

At the end of the day Lucas created something classic. He engineered so much new tech like Dolby, THX, The digital camera the Pixar machine and so forth. I cannot understand the hate towards him but everyone is entitled to there opinion and I wont begrudge them that. Ya he has released the trilogy over and over and tinkered but 1: People keep buying them so why not keep doing it.
2:It is his baby and he has every right to go back and tinker with it just like anyone else going back to tinker with something they have done until they like it.
George Lucas created a medium that will never ever again be duplicated and we should applaud him for that.
The prequels were not perfect but face it how do you top something as special as Episodes 4 to 6.
Yes I am a huge Star Wars fan and am bias but am open minded as well.
I am the first to say yay Disney give us another three movies and with what they have done with Marvels properties IE The Avengers you can say it is in good hands.
I hope they tread carefully now with the trilogy in there hands and bring in some very smart Star Wars writers to help it go forward.

Thanks for posting the Plinkett reviews, I was just about to do that.
It's not the same with the PG 13 though... .  -  .
But yeah, basically the prequels had awful character development and dialogue, extremely boring cinematography for the most part (seeing as all the dialogue was done in shot-reverse shot) and the story made no sense at all.]
On top of which (Plinkett covers this near the end of his episode 3 review) there are loads of shots and ideas ripped out of the original trilogy.
Though now, as George isn't directing Star Wars any more, who knows, these could be good.

I'm not going to judge Episodes 7, 8, and 9 until they have a trailer released. My only thought is how they can continue the story, even if Lucas had something. It's kinda wrapped up for me, at least.
