Empire was a great movie, one of the best of all time.Jedi had some awesome special effects (for its day) and cool lightsabre duels and some really really mediocre acting "There's good in him I feel it" argghhhh... I smelled ham too...Then somehow because of the concerted use of the Force by millions of clones of the Comic Book Guy these movies became deep and philosophical and well written. Really Empire was the only well-written, well-acted movie of the bunch.So Episodes I&II come along and they are... wait for it... full of fantastic special effects, cool lightsabre duels and bad acting.Which is fine with me, the movies were always mindless fun to me.So why all the talk of the franchise "going downhill". The franchise is what it always was (always excepting Empire- heck even Trek made ONE decent movie and it was the second one too).Chuck</blockquote>
