[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7886824, member: 16814"] Not to challenge your opinions (many if which I agree with), but your characterization of the OT as having great writing and plotting utterly fails the sniff test eith Ep4 -- which was entirely saved in edit. The movie originally intended before another hand was brought in to save it in edit was a mess much along the lines of the PT. Really, Lucas is a mad genius but desperately needs a minder for the details and to often say, "No, George." To drift back into opinion, the OT is not a masterwork of plotting and the dialog is quite often cornball. It succeeded because it was opera -- sweeping themes of black and white -- in a confused time and had good soace wizards with laser swords. It's fantastic pop culture stuff, not a cinematic masterpiece. But, yes, Hollywood has no idea what makes for a successful movie. Given the huge finacial incentives involved, I'd say no one does, at least consistantly. [/QUOTE]
