[QUOTE="Forlorn, post: 94005, member: 732"] You know, I find it funny that people are always saying that those of us who say we dont like Episode 1 are just jumping on the "Me too" train. Im sorry, the movie was bad. For a look at why it was bad, let us turn our sight to a bit of commentary from the Esteemed Monte Cooke: [url]http://pub58.ezboard.com/fokayyourturnfrm15.showMessage?topicID=263.topic[/url] Monte basically sums up a number of reasons why the movie was a let down, and there are several other very good reasons brought up in that thread. Personally I think two things have happened that affect Mr. Lucas' movie making. One: He had his daughter. If you watched the A&E special on him, he states that just seconds after she was born his focus shifted from making movies to her. While this is in itself not a bad thing, it explains ALOT: Ewoks, Greedo shooting first, Episode 1. But then even more then that someone somewhere brought up the point that you should make movies about what you know. Episodes 4-6 are about a story that George KNOWS. It is part of him and a labor of love. It shows. But what has George done since then? Lots of meetings apparently. Go watch Episode 1 again and count the number of scenes that are just groups of people meeting other groups of people and them all sitting around talking about it. For an action/adventure space fantasy movie Episode 1 sure had alot of Woody Allenesque talking head scenes. Oh and for those of you who think that Star Wars 4-6 were just movies. Go back and watch the incredibly large number of movies and TV from the 80's and even 90's that reference Star Wars in some way. I think you'll be surprised how often it shows up. Will this happen with Episodes 1-3? Based on what we have so far, I think not. [/QUOTE]
