George is an Old Man
And it shows. His old, boring mind lacks creativity as we have seen w/ eps 1-3. The old, lame-ass Lucas created all these idiotic and senseless changes to the original flicks. When Lucas was a young dude he had some testicals. They are old and droopy now, but it looks like the kids are liking them...



What's all the fuss about this Garabge?
I dont like star wars at all. I dont understand why many people like it? Dont buy this Piece of Overrated Garbage.



Classic Star Wars better than lackluster prequels
With REVENGE OF THE SITH in cinemas, the final chapter in the SW saga has been widely recognized as the best of the prequels, but still lacks the special touch that these 3 classic films have. George Lucas' THX-1138 was cool, American Graffiti showed real talent and Star Wars: A New Hope is generally regarded as the greatest movie ever made. Why? Well, what's not to like? From the opening shot of the Blockade Runner accompanied by that great theme tune by John Williams, you know you're in the unique world of the STAR WARS universe. Before George's lackluster prequels THE PHANTOM MENACE and ATTACK OF THE CLONES, A NEW HOPE was known only as STAR WARS. Audiences had never seen anything so original and amazing. Now, the series has entered into the fanboy culture all over the world. In comparison, Episode 4 seems somewhat tame compared to Revenge of the Sith in terms of action, but it's still superior in terms of story and acting talent. And now that ROTS has finished the saga, it has to be said that these 3 films, despite being made 20 or so years ago, they still stand up today and the new generation of kids love these movies.

From Hero Luke Skywalker's symbolic journey from his home Tatooine to the moment of victory at the finale, we are greeted with a myriad of fantastic characters, especially Han Solo, played by a pre-Indy Harrison Ford and his buddy Chewbacca. And the ultimate incarnation of evil, Darth Vader. And that, more than anything, is what made TPM so hollow. While the action was impressive in parts, the lack of good characters is disappointing. But ROTS has regained much of the sense of adventure that this film started off.
Lucas' grand vision illuminates the entire film, with inventive creatures and events. Several scenes that are my favorites are Obi Wan's conversation to Luke about the Clone Wars and Vader, Solo's disposal of Greedo, Obi Wan and Vader's last confrontation and the battle of Yavin. One of my all-time favorite films, STAR WARS is THE great adventure.

Directed by Irvin Kershner, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK moved away from the high-spirited antics of the first film and took a step towards the dark side. The Empire is preparing to seek revenge on the Rebel Alliance, C3P0 gets blasted to bits and Luke Skywalker finds out that Darth Vader is his dad! Even John William's score is much darker in tone than his previous efforts. But the film is an excellent adventure that many fans consider to be superior to the original. Mark Hamill returns as Luke, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia and Harrison Ford as the sardonic Han Solo. And we are introduced to the wise Yoda, who trains Luke about the ways of a Jedi. The action ante is upped considerably, with fantastic chases through asteroid fields, battles between snow speeders and the AT-ATs and Luke's rescue mission. And the Bespin Duel, where the confrontational battle between Vader and Luke ends with one of the most shocking revelations in movie history (Even if it's somewhat un-surprising for future fans who watch all the completed films in sequence).

The weakest of the 3, RETURN OF THE JEDI starts off with Luke and Leia rescuing Han Solo from the crime lord Jabba the Hutt. While the film is less exciting than it's counterparts, it does have some good action, including the rescue on the desert skiff, the speeder chase through the forest of Endor, the dark final battle between Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine and Luke and the destruction of the second Death Star. The lightsaber fights are some of the best in the Star Wars cannon and Princess Leia is hotter than ever! John William's score is even more exciting than ESB. If I were to place the Star Wars films in order from best to worst, they would go THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, A NEW HOPE, RETURN OF THE JEDI, REVENGE OF THE SITH, ATTACK OF THE CLONES and THE PHANTOM MENACE.
This presentation is very impressive, with added scenes and improved SFX. I like that Temuera Morrison's lines are dubbed over the original Boba Fett lines, and Ian McDiarmid in Empire is satisfying. The digital touch up is excellent and the DVD extras are exhaustive and impressive, especially the making of documentary. Watching these movies, one wonders what happened to Lucas' talent.
