[QUOTE="Zog, post: 1944092, member: 5083"] The original movie remains fantastic. And every time I hear the theme song a massive smile leaps onto my face. I will love Star Wars until the day I die. I've never understood why so many people prefer the Empire strikes back to return of the Jedi. Jedi is the climax of the entire series and to me will always be the best. Ewoks and all, after all the victory of the Ewoks over the storm troopers is one of the central themes of the series: that force and power and technology will not necessarily always triumph. That there is another way. Episode two, while visually impressive, suffer mainly from one flaw. It is one known to all good game masters, as something to avoid. They are not hero centric. Think about it. The main characters of the story do not succeed or triumph or even lose in an interesting way. In gaming terms an NPC, first Mace Windu and then Yoda arrived to save them. If I were playing in that game, I'd be annoyed. Episode one is better in this regard, but instead you have the kid save the day. Totally unnecessary. It negates the heroics of the other characters. And for everyone who rightly so, dislikes the romance in the second film, look on the DVD or borrow it from someone who has it, at the deleted scenes. There are two scenes where Anakin meets Padme's family. They are very well done, and add a lot of character development. Eliminating them was a major mistake. I do like the story of the second film, and trying to understand all of the machinations that go on behind the scenes. It actually makes the watchers think if they want to understand what is going on. That part was well done. I've not read any of the books, I prefer a simple "and they lived happily ever after..."
