[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2095678, member: 158"] If anything, this will be to me the greatest legacy of the Star Wars films. Lucas, when making something for the heck of it, can turn out some movies that have no cultural worth, but are some genuinely fun movies to watch. Dammit, I LIKED HOWARD THE DUCK! :) When Lucas is not trying hard, is when he's at his best. As for AotC and Phantom Menace, I enjoyed them - not as much as the originals mind you, but I still enjoyed them for the spectacle of it. I often said, and still do, that Phantom Menace was worth it for the 20 minutes of lightsaber battles alone. On a psychological level, yes I suppose Menace and Clones DID fail to be "the greatest story ever told to Star Wars Fans", but then, that's not why I watched it. My wife knew nothing of Star Wars, but was curious, so I watched the three original movies with her. I didn't ask her to watch Episode 1 or 2; they weren't what was the best of the series, she didn't care to see them, and I didn't care if she didn't. She saw the best of them, IMO, so why bother? :) I watch all six because I am a SW geek, plain and simple, and whether Luke is struggling with his heritage, or whether Jar Jar is nabbing fruit with his tongue, I'm watching because it's [I]fun.[/I] Whatever happened to people "vegging out" with Star Wars they way they do with other action films?
