One million signatures and Uwe Boll will quit directing

[zen_hydra]

Don't forget, Lucas also wrote the script. So no matter what, even if SWe 1 - 3 had a Steven Spielburg as it's director, the writing would still suck.

I am not sure that I'm down with the (implied) Spielberg love.

If Steven Spielberg directed a Star Wars film, the Jedi would end up waving around walkie-talkies instead of light sabers.

I only mentioned Spielberg because I think that he is one of the only directors that Lucas would trust to make a Star Wars flick considering the amount of times they worked together.

Sure, I'd love to see a great director work on Star Wars flick, but as long as Lucas is breathing, I really doubt that would happen. Lets just be thankful that he wasn't close friends with Uwe Bol.

I'm sorry, but I'd take Spielberg over Lucas any day. Besides, it's not like that alteration to ET erases his resume of films. He's a damn fine director, and one of the most influential of all time.

But either of them is a better director in his sleep than Uwe *. Heck, I'd take the kid who played Short Round over him.


* of course, this is just going off what I've heard. I've never seen the man's work, as I mentioned earlier.

Bloodrayne 3 is already in production!?!? NOOOOOOOOooooooo......

That's why you need a writing staff. Rarely you find a single writer who is truly talented, but in the case of Lucas, he had good ideas, just not good with writing dialogues on paper.

I disagree; Lucas's ideas for Ep 1 sucked. Darth Vader building C3PO, the Force being controlled by midichlorians, and Jar-Jar are all just plain stupid concepts. Heck, some of the ideas are just weakly recycled from the original trilogy, like the alien life-debt schtick and the weak native aliens defeating the big evil guys.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Even if Uwe Boll does quit directing, some equally untalented hack will immediately step up to fill his place.

OR someone better? After all, why pull out an old, rusted nail if you're gonna put in another old, rusted nail in its place?

Nothing wrong with that, really.

the Force being controlled by midichlorians,

There is no indication of midichlorians controlling the force. They're like "moths drawn to the fire." But I do agree, in the Golden Age of the Republic, the Jedi are less mystical than we thought of them in Episode IV. Like watching a bunch of Catholic priest-exorcists busting out Ghostbuster equipment rather than crucifixes, holy water, and bibles.

and Jar-Jar are all just plain stupid concepts.

I'll give you that.

Are you kidding?

I think it's possibly the dumbest idea in the trilogy, including the midichlorians. There's a certain level of unbelievable and unnecessary coincidence that simply ruins any story, and this absolutely crossed that line.

What's wrong with young Anakin building a droid?

As for the midichlorian, I agree with you. Deset Gled just have the fact wrong.

Nope, strongly disagree with that.

Let's see, it establishes immediately that 9 year old Anakin is a prodigy far beyond other humans in skill.

It adds a lot of irony every time 3P0 says "Thank the maker" in the original series.

I've seen fans argue it adds new meaning to the scene in Empire when Boba Fett is about to shoot Chewbacca (with 3P0 on his back) in the cloud freezing chamber and Vader stops him for no apparent reason, he was doing it to save 3P0 because he still had some emotional attachment to his old droid (although he would never admit it, it's those kind of lingering emotions of Anakin that lead to his redemption).

It gives a reason for 3P0 to be in the possession of Padme and thus later the Organa family.
