Yes the new trilogy has better graphics but you gotta admit... for a 30-year old movie it looks pretty fucking good. Have a look at other movies/TV shows from the same era and even into the late 80's and they don't look as good. The original trilogy has dated exceptionally well.

And WTF is with yoda doing ninja shit, he ambles around the rest of the time and suddenly he pulls these sick moves out of his ass.
And let's not forget the worst part of the new trilogy.... darth vader's little tantrum: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

[KARNAGE]

LOL, i've seen tv shows in the 90s that look worse than the original trilogy. sure, that was the better trilogy, but that doesnt mean the other one was shit, i quite liked it, although i still wanna know how obi wan and anakin both had blue lightsabers (meaning apprentice i think) and yet they were considering anakin to be a master. WTF?

[Dex]

karnage, please dont talk about what you dont know...

The lightsabre colours do not represent master/apprentice

Green is for a thinker - someone who has thoughts inward about the force

blue - jedi warrior - less time for thought would rather fight

etc

[Psych0Kyller]

the only ones i know of are from kotor and the movies:

red - sith
blue - jedi guardian
green - jedi sentinel (i think)

then theres all the other colours like purple, orange, yellow, silver and black. Then there is some variations in kotor 2 there is the green one and i think there is another but i cant remember havent played it in a while.

pretty sure i got all the colours are there any more dex?

[DonutKing]

I thought it was just the type of crystal used in constructing the lightsaber that gave its colour? Sith tended to have Red ones because they favoured/only had access to a particular type of crystal

hmm this seems to agree

geek is so thick in the air I can barely breathe

[DonutKing]

You think that's air you're breathing now?

(more likely, its the burrito I had for breakfast)

[Dex]

Fuck me donut, thats one massive long rank you have.
and  the colour comes from the crystal, but you choose your cristal based on your preference

[DonutKing]

don't worry dex. It's not the size that matters but how you use it

I never thought it was possible to find a group of people who thought the new star wars movies weren’t complete tripe outside of Lucas Ranch. They are quite possibly the worst collection of scenes commited to film since I filmed myself with randomizers mum giving her a cleavland steamer.  And I think the main character in that little home production was more endearing to the viewer than any of the prequel characters , even if it was a giant , steaming turd.

Seriously they would be the worst trilogy ever made, even beating other notable contenders , such as the Matrix (the first was good), and of course, the “2 gay hobbits go playing with their rings in the woods”  bore-fest that is Lord of the Rings (there is 9 hours of my life I wont get back..)

In short, anyone who likes those movies who is not George Lucas should seriously have their brain looked at, as there is something wrong.
And here is a visual reminder of one of the cinematic classic characters those movies introduced to the world:

agreeing with a cowcar post

except for one point: the first LotR was good because it had Sean Bean in it (aka Richard Sharpe)




I've gotta say though... the prequel trilogy, as far as star wars goes, leaves much to be desired. I saw all 3 new ones at the movies... 1st one left me feeling like they were just 'spooling up' for the next two, 2nd was crap- I left disappointed, 3rd was more of the same and was only saved by the fact that it had Darth Vader in it and we finally got to see how he became what he is. Was kinda disappointing though in that the extended star wars universe had already kinda accepted that he was nearly killed in a fighter crash, not in same lame jedi battle where he falls into lava.

But if you watch them as an independent series in their own right they are ok. Still not brilliant, but better than a lot of other movies. I got Attack of the Clones on DVD for xmas and when I watched it, I just forgot everything I knew about star wars and it was more enjoyable.

but yeah, jar jar binks is pretty unforgivable

[cowcar]

I tend to agree with regards to the first ones, I am not a huge fan of them either, but they are serviceable.

On the LOTR front, I think the problem isn’t the movies themselves, I found the books terribly long and boring too, so I blame JR Tolkien more than I do PJ.

But the final 3 star wars I put in a basket of “ should never have been made”.  Recent additions to this category also include Indianna Jones and the Crystal skull, a vile abomination of a film that  if I had to choose between eating my own poo or watching that movie again, I would ask for a napkin.

[DonutKing]

Oh OK so you don't really like star wars that much...
I loved the original trilogy but the prequel trilogy is merely OK. I thought you shared a similiar view 

I agree about Crystal Skull though, that movie sucked. Aliens and Indiana Jones just do not work together.
Plus the fact that they had the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in any movie right at the start... where he survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge and getting hurled through the air and then smashing into the ground.

starwars was a good movie imo, alot of pew pew and zap zap n stuff. full of eye candy for the fapped-out viewer.

I watched the Phantom Menace about six mnths ago, and what really struck me, wasn't the film, but the making of. It was quite good, not a mutual masturbation like they often are(they are incredible talented, I'm so lucky to work with them etc etc), but more like a proper documentary. The film crew followed George around, and filmed daily happenings....the best scene in teh whole thing was at the first test viewing, it was George and the higher ups from the production team.....the look on their faces after they watched the first cut was classic. The viewing room was just dead silent after the lights came on.....then George says... I think we might have gone to far......beautiful candid reactions, you could see they all knew it was a stinker.
