The week before Christmas I did about an hour of work at my job and was there for four ten hour days - I read alot of Wookiepedia, Wikipedia, and a couple books.

I never knew so much about a throw away line now that I've read this thread. I knew it was the model number but little did i know the model number actually meant something!

I guess I just long for continuity.

That guy hits the nail on the head.

The first three were great. I'm thankful I can remember a time before episode 1 came out.

I like Star Wars as a stand alone film. Empire is alright but nowhere near as good and Jedis first half was decent but it got real stupid real fast. The newer films I do not even care about at all.

The creators of Star Wars said it better: (paraphrased from the commentary on SW SE)

"We needed to have a love story, but not a mushy love story"

"We needed to have humor, but not slapstick humor"

It's odd, because that is what I thought was wrong with the prequels. The love story was all "kissy-kissy", and the humor was slapstick.

Star Wars is great as a stand alone, but I enjoy the storyline of 4,5 & 6.

I think they all hold up really well too. What did you think was stupid about JEDI?

Um, the Ewoks.

The Jabba stuff was all decent enough though, like I said. Once they go to Endor though it just gets bad.

I kind of think Jedi is the weakest in the original trilogy, as well. The whole ewok part of the story was pretty silly.

It has definitely suffered the most under Lucas' revisions. I find the special edition to be almost unwatchable.

You must have never met Wicket when you were a kid.



I wish I still owned that shirt.

I think Star Wars was meant to be a stand alone film as well. It is a complete story for the most part. If Star Wars would have had tits and ass in it it would have been playing in the grindhouses with spaghetti westerns and Kung-fu flicks. It was successfull though so he continued on with the story. I know he says it was all thought out all along but I do not believe that bullshit for a second. Luke and Leia were never meant to be brother and sister and Vader was never meant to be Lukes father. That is more soap opera than space opera, guess he got confused. (I know that that is not really funny) Plus it has Peter Cushing in it.
