[QUOTE="King_Stannis, post: 183560, member: 324"] spiderman and lotr may have lived up to your expectations, but what i think people are talking about is comparing a movie series from your childhood, a series who's shortcomings you've probably learned to overlook, against a new series that can't possibly compete with the warm and fuzzy "X" factor you (and many others) assign to the original. as for lucas not listening to his fans, i'll say it again. HE DOES! the inclusion of jango fett and a young boba is absolutely a tip of the hat to the fans. a huge one, at that. lucas was always mystified at the public fascination with boba, a very minor character in his view. i doubt that without the fan appreciation for boba that lucas would have assigned his father such a prominent role. again, his problem is that if he "listened to the fans" the way the fans want him to, these new movies would be awful. since when does watching the original trilogy 35+ times make anyone an expert in filmmaking? if you listen to most of these half-wits (not referring to you Wulf), though, they'd think that it makes them more than qualified. i would disagree with you about your assessment of episode I. divorce yourself of the fact it's a star wars movie, and i actually feel it comes out even better than people think. it's problem was that a) it was unevenly paced at times; and b) it had to live up to unreasonable expectations. in any respect, i thought episode 1 was a good, solid and slightly flawed movie. better than 90% of the crap hollywood churns out.
