[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 2098306, member: 10079"] But peope aren't going to go see a movie if everyone is coming back saying it sucks. THAT is my point. I somehow doubt inflation is calculated in with those. But I don't believe he failed at all. And obviously I'm not alone. It seems to me that you're taking the little information we have on things and going straight to the extreme of Lucas being inept and incompetent. If he can't write a cohsive story, it would show in more than just fans complaining. It would show in the amount of money made because people don't go and see it. Bad movies don't make money. Like it or not, you ARE saying that the movies are bad by saying that Lucas is inept and incompetent in storytelling. If you don't mean to, then its at least strongly implied. I really think Wombat had a point earlier on. Its not Lucas or any of 'his' movies that are the problem. Its Empire. THAT movie is the oddity among the rest, and it really shows. Sure, its my favorite, but it doesn't mean it isn't vastly different than ALL of the other Star Wars movies. Lucas is telling his story his way because that's the way he wants to tell it(whether we agree with it or not), and Empire really was the anomily among it all. Maybe we should start blaming Empire instead of Lucas. :p [/QUOTE]
