...George Lucas make an apology to his fans for the atrocity that was TPM an extra on the DVD.

...a better movie for E2 than E1; otherwise, I can rent it (and yes, I am a huge Star Wars fan, just not a yes man)

...the Star Wars DVDs so long as I were sure no further "Super Duper Money Grubber Editions" wuold be put out a year later

...Lucas sycophants take their heads out of their asses and admit that E1 was an inferior product

...Rick McCallum just break down, put on a dress and wear a sign that says "George's 8ITCH" around his neck

Inferior than what? I don't think it was inferior than A New Hope.
And don't call sycophants to people with other opinions than yours. There are dozens of movies I like better than Star Wars, so I'm not a sycophant. Can you say the same?

I like dozens and dozens of movies better than RotJ, slightly fewer than ANH, but Empire is probably one of the ten best movies ever made, I think. Anyone who doesn't think E1 is FAR below the quality of those three is kidding themselves, probably afraid that if Uncle George reads their criticisms he'll never put out another Star Wars. Get over it, E1 sucked.

[EmpireOfDust]

get over what? for liking a movie... THIS is what i hate about people..... THERE OPINIONS are the only thing that matters!!!! STOP IT!!!!! You didnt like the movie, i respect that, but dont go denying other peoples opinions, thats just immature and dumb...Grow up..... Im spent

[Maxx Havoc]

I was very disappointed with Episode I. And this goes way beyond Jar Jar Binks, although I hated him as much as anybody.
My problem is with the writing. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Lucas wrote in those stupid Midiclorians as the force behind the Force. I liked the idea of the Force being this mysterious religious like thing that a few people we intuned with. Now that is no longer the case.
Another problem is with the character of Queen Amidala. Why did she have to be an elected queen? If she were part of a royal family and for some reason, say her family was killed, she was forced to take the throne, it would have been so much better to explain why this little girl is the ruler of a planet and how it was so easy for Palpatine to manipulate her and seize power. Instead, she acts like she's been in politics for 50 years and simply turns out to be an idiot who rolls out the red carpet for the rise of Palpatines evil galactic empire.
Also I think creating stupid links to the old trilogy must stop. I hated the fact that Darth Vader created C3PO. 3PO could have and should have been thrown into the movie just as R2 was. No explaination needed.
The pod race was included to appeal to the youngest of Star Wars fans. Lucas knew he could produce a hot Nintendo game out of this and I believe that's why he did it. To me it was a stupid and unnecessary addition. And I couldn't stand that annoying two headed announcer.
I didn't care for the casting of Jake Lloyd as Anakin. I thought he was too young. He looked to me to be even younger than he was supposed to be. It was like he was about 6 years old. Lucas should have cast someone roughly the age of Natalie Portman to make it more believible.
I have a hard time figuring out how Lucas could have made three fairly good movies and then come up with this piece of crap.
There are good things in The Phantom Menace like the light saber duals and creature designs as well as great special effects, but as to how this movie fits into the Star Wars mythos, for me it simply doesn't.
I don't accept the reasoning that this Star Wars is not supposed to be the Star Wars of my generation. If this is true, why didn't Lucas just produce a new film altogether and forget about Star Wars? By putting the Star Wars lable on it he must have been intending for the fans of the old trilogy to come out and see it. So why did he do such a poor job of perserving the thing that made the first films great? The story.
I can only hope he gets back to the story of Star Wars with the next two films and forgets about how much money he can make if he fills up the movie with more stupid characters and pod races and the like.
Sorry to take up so much space but this is just my opinion. Not everyone will see it as I do and if you liked Episode I that's fine. I simply did not. And I would pay to own the rights to the SW franchise so I could set things straight and get this show on the right track again.

[This message has been edited by Maxx Havoc (edited 05-09-2001).]

[rObix]

for all of the medichlorine crap, "yippies", an annoying nemodians & gungans, it had scenes to match that were great. the final battle was GREAT. i would like to see a cut of it without all the other stuff going in too. the pod rave was cool as hell.
i think of e1 as just an information movie to help the story telling of episode 2.
overall, it was slightly below par with the originals...but hopefuly, that will just make for a better ep2, and ep3....

[David]

Lucas said that E2 & E3 will be much darker than E1. I hope he's right.
For all the people saying that E1 was crap, remember that the only other chapter written and directed by Lucas was ANH, so you can only compare them. Irvin Keshner did a great job with ESB, and the scripts by Lawrence Kasdan for ESB & TROTJ were amazing. So if Lucas choose some directors and writters and they do crap work, I understand your critics. But it was HIM who did E1, so nobody can tell him he doesn't deserve to direct and write his own movie!
I'm not sure I've explain myself right. Well...

and uhh.... How did this turn into an Episode 1 discussion forum.. I thought it was about who we would pay to see fight in the star wars universe... Lets get back at the topic at hand! :eek:

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Maxx Havoc:

Funny thing. I read a rumor on a Star Wars website that Obi-Wan and Anakin get into a fight with Count Dooku a.k.a. Darth Tyrannus in Episode 2 and get their butts kicked like Luke Skywalker in Empire. Then suddenly Yoda shows up and takes on Dooku. This may be just a bunch of b.s., but if it's true I'm going to be asked to leave the theater when this one comes out because I'm going to be laughing my a$$ off.

:D

[rObix]

yoda supposedly is going wield 2 small sai-like light sabers. and dooku is supposedly gonna have a curved pirate sort of blade on his saber...that should be a good fight scene.

[JBond]

I would pay alot of money to see Yoda trying to kill someone and all the enemy does is pick up Yoda by his ears, drop him, and punt him!

Ya man! Theres only one problem, Its Star Wars so it wont be BLOODY and stuff, which takes away some of the Reality feel.. But HEY! Its Star Wars! I think that would be cool if it had some dramatic feel and had a good musical score, Music is everything... Lets hope John Williams can put out an awesome score! And a female Sith Villain would be really cool, on one condition, she needs to be hot Hot HOT!!! ;)

I would like to see Catherine Zeta Jones or possibly Salma Hayek. Have no idea what she would look like but I'm a sucker for these two beauties. Probably something along the lines of what they do with female aliens in Star Trek. Not too much make-up to make them look ugly, just something to give an exotic feel.

Jannsen is hot and could probably play this role in her sleep. I just think it would be cool to see some bigger name actress who's not know for doing sci-fi or fantasy. It would be unique. As for Salma Hayek being no good as a Sith, I couldn't say since she's never been given a chance to play many roles like this. Please don't judge her based on the vampire she played in From Dusk 'Till Dawn. Part of how well an actor does with a role has something to do with the director as well. If you give a *****ty performance an the director yells, "Cut! Print it!" It's his fault, not the actors.

I know that my opinion of Episode I is old and out of date, but I'm new at this site, and want to share my opinions. This is what I hated:
1. medichlorians crap
2. Anakin was way too "perfect". I know he's the "chosen one" but the kids maybe 8 years old and flying a fighter, building a pod, fixing everything, giving everything. It was way too unbelievable because he is so young and grew up as a slave.
3. If he's even 8, the Queen must be at least 18. I know that age might not mean much, but physically, are they really going to try to question our intelligence and make the Queen look exactly the same with a much older Anakin. Please.
4. Jar Jar
5. The fact that the Jedi could throw regular droids around using the force, but couldn't do the same to the Destroyers...
6. Crazy looking Yoda
Well, that's it, no one has to reply, you've all heard it before, but other than these dislikes, I figured the movie was supposed to be different than the first three and I accepted that this movie felt 'lighter' and happier than the other episodes.

queen amidala is 14 years old. if you had read the novelization, you'd know. it goes a little further into the unspoken connection between the queen and the slave.

She dont look fourteen! But i guess we have to suspend disbeleive a little bit...

[rObix]

you cant watch star wars without suspending your disbelief.....
i made my roommate watch them, because he made me watch "human traffic", and thru the whole thing he was "oh, well that'll never happen" and going into the aerodynamics of why the millenium falcon wouldnt be able to fly. i wanted to punch him in the nose.

[Maxx Havoc]

I think people tend to confuse suspending belief and good story telling. When someone complains something in a film doesn't fit someone else always has to say, "It's just a sci-fi movie, get over it." Yes you suspend belief when it comes to how the space ships can fly or how lightsabers work but people are not talking about this stuff, they're talking about how something fits into the story as a whole. I hated the casting of Jake Lloyd because he was too young. I said it before, he looked to me as if he was 6 instead of 8 or 9. Natalie Portman was about 17 when she was in Phantom Menace, even though she played a 14 year old, this relationship doesn't work for me. They needed someone around her age. This is a writing problem not a mechanics problem. I can't suspend belief on bad writing.

[JBond]

Then again, they didn't exactly make out in Episode 1, so it was ok for now.

[JBond]

I just realized something! This is amazing...

This topic started as a pointless topic and it now actualy has a discussion going!! :eek:

[rObix]

e2 takes place 10 years after. the age gap becomes insignifigant once it gets there. and this is when they will hard to get hot and heavy(for lack of a better term). personally, it didnt bother me too much. but i can see why it would bother people.

i had a problem with casting jake lloyd because he was in "jingle all the way". :D

im not out to hurt the kids feelings, or anything...but to be honest, i highly doubt he reads the CS forums(no offense mirko), i feel failry safe is critsizing him.
yeah, hailey joel osment is pretty good. if he pulls A.I. off, that is. we'll see in a few weeks. there hasnt really been a sucessful child actor who made it big after puberty since like roddy mcdowall. im not counting teenage actors, because they can handle themselves.

Don't be so sure. There are many ways to know what people say in internet forums. Even in my Fight Club DVD there's a quote from a post of Amazon Movie Database's forums.
I'm not saying he will know for sure, I only say that it isn't necessary to insult him.

Oh, and I say it to main people, it wasn't for you. I know you try to no insult him.

well, i dont know man. if your going to have a public life, you have to realize there is gonna be some critisizm of your work. granted he's just a kid, but im sure he's had alot of pep talks about the possible backlash of being young anakin skywalker.

Yes exactly... And this is "Constructive Critism" not just harsh critisism... The kid should take some pointers, even though i am not an actor...

I heard a terrible rumor sometime ago, even before Episode I was released, that Darth Vader was only going to appear at the very end of Episode III. I hope this is not the case. I want to see more of the old Darth, I'll have had enough of Anakin by E3. I want to see Vader wipe out the Jedi. That would rock!

[Loaded Weapon]

Yes havoc that would be cool but very bloody
don't think that Lucas will alowe that. All
though the next two are going to be very Dark
so you never know.

[Maxx Havoc]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Loaded Weapon:

I don't know. When Darth Maul stabbed Jinn it wasn't bloody. And Kenobi cut Maul in half but you didn't see any Conan the Barbarian style bloody effects.

[Loaded Weapon]

Got a point but I don't know how many little
kids would want to sit threw all that Carnige even if they don't show blood. Not that I'd go ahead and bring a 5 year old brother or sister to the next two
any way.

i dont se what the point of ep3 would be if they DIDN'T show the downfall of the jedi!
i mean, this may be before he get's his helmet and all of that....because, im sure the obi-wan anakin duel will be one of the last things in ep3...maybe about a half hour before the end, or so...

it is a jedi secret. it will be explained in episode 2. it's something yoda will teach obi wan, i believe.
the only thing that bugs me is that anakin did not dissapear in ROTJ. and yet his spirit is with yoda, and obi-wan.

[Loaded Weapon]

To Silent Rob

That explaines it cool. Also Darth or Annie
probubly wanted to do that when the Death star was about to blow up but then Luke
pulled him from the Death Star.

I would pay to see this all explained in EP2
and in EP3.

[rObix]

they dont actually die. they release them selves from their physical selves.

[David]

Actually is an error of script. Lucas didn't think of it. :p
As many people is talking about this, probably Lucas will give an explanation on Ep2, and the fans will say "Oh, so he thought in this from the beggining, what a wise man". :D

[ 06-02-2001: Message edited by: David ]

[Warpedchick]

:rolleyes: Good grief at this rate Ep2 will be explaining all the mistakes in Ep1,4,5 and 6 or maybe they will leave it till Ep7 to explain all the mistakes and bad continuity of all 6 movies!!

And for the record I would pay to see anyone or anything wipe out Jar Jar and his people as well as the Ewoks. I would prefer it to be slow and painful. A lot of blood would be good too!

[Maxx Havoc]

I don't need to know anything about why or how Kenobi disappeared when Vader killed him. I need to see a really good Star Wars movie, like the first three. No more crap! Get down to the story of Star Wars. Lucas wrote three very good movies, if he can't finish this story without destroying everything decent about the first trilogy then I wish he would just scrap the whole idea. Maybe after he dies his family will sell the rights and someone will come up with something better than The Phantom Mess he created.

[rObix]

eh, the continuity errors dont bother me so much. and actually, if you read some of the SW books, it will fill some of the gaps. before obi-was was taken as a padawan, he was trained as a young boy by yoda at the jedi temple. so that fills a gap, right there. and whew was that a big gap to fill.

No no no, I don't think you understood Empire. i may be wrong, but I think he doesn't have a problem with other people disliking Episode 1. But his problem, as well as mine, is that they bring it up at every possible moment, whether it's about Jar-Jar or how it was the worse movie ever!

You're not offending anyone as long as your giving your opinion. I respect that and welcome it. My response was simply to say I don't feel Lucas needs to get side-tracked with these issues. It's like he souldn't have tried to give an explanation of what the Force is or how it works. We now have the stupid Midiclorian excuse as part of the Star Wars universe. I'm afraid of more of this kind of thing in future films if he tries to explain every little detail of how? or why?.
If you think you would like to see an explaination of Kenobi's powers, fine, I respect that. I simply disagree. That's how these forums should work. Notice I didn't tell you to just shut up.

[Loaded Weapon]

Oh and guys not to get you're panties in a bunch but isn't a Prequale supost to explaine

[Maxx Havoc]

These prequels are supposed to tell the story of Anakin Skywalker's journey to the dark side and how he became Darth Vader. I don't think it has to explain things like how C-3PO got built. These things are needless side stories just like I didn't need to see that stupid opening in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with River Phoenix as the young Indiana. I don't care why he's afraid of snakes or how he got the scar on his chin. If that's the case the next movie will have to tell us why his father is afraid of rats.
If an explaination can be woven into the story intelligently I have no problem, but when it seems like the story is halted just to explain some insignificant piece of trivia. It just isn't needed, it's bad writing in my opinion.

[rObix]

dude, the story is basically told through the eyes of the two droids. it was a necciscary plot point to show that 3po was build by the soon-to-be darth vader. it takes the story full circle.
and the part in the begining of indy, also, was importaint. it showed his relationship with his father, through one of his early adventures, and leads it nicely into the next two adventures he has in the movie. if you dont like that opening, you're nutso.

[Maxx Havoc]

That fact that Vader built C-3PO does nothing for the story except make it really stupid. I guess Star Wars won't be complete until we find out who built R2-D2 as well.
And I guess I am nutso because I hated that beginning in Indiana Jones. I don't know why people need to be told everything about a character. Ford and Connery did a fine job when they just argued about when Jones was young, they could have told us anything about his early years without having to film a whole segment.

[Loaded Weapon]

uhh Maxx the beging of Indy could have been
alot wores if you hated it. In Hunt For Red
October they don't do any thing to explaine
the hows or whys of the Caricture except the
fact that Ramius's wife Died. When I read the book Clancy has the first Chapter devoted to Ramius's Back round Which I hated Cause I made the Cardnile error of whatching the movie before I read the book. So I do Agree
with you that the story dosen't need to go into to many little deatails but you also have to under stand that Lucas probubly has scades and thounds of these little inter looping deatails just look at ****ens Every Caricture there had something to do with practiculy every other Caricture. God dam it I promised my self I wouldn't be like Bats
but I've done it. Now here's my point I know you're probubly saying thank god by now but
Three Po is probubly Very inportant to Darth
and will learn that in the next two.

God hope that wasn't as long as it seemed. :)

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Loaded Weapon:

I can see 3PO playing the same role to Anakin as he did to Luke but probably not much more. Lucas did say the Star Wars stories were the stories of 3PO and R2 but I remember reading that way back went SW first came out. But strangely enough the droids play only a small role, it's as if Lucas kinda dropped this idea and replaced it with the story of the Skywalker family. He also said he was going to do 9 stories but now has said you'll never see another Star Wars trilogy after this one is finished. I will never like the idea of 3PO and Vader being connected, it always seems to me as if Lucas is making alot of this stuff up as he goes along. It's his story to do with as he pleases, but if he doesn't do better in the next one I'm not going to waste my time with a third.

[rObix]

the scene in indy just serves the purposes of tieing the story lines together, as well as having a little fun with showing one of his early adventures. also, i'll admit, it was a shameless plug for "the young adventures of indiana jones"..but i enjoyed the sequence, and led into a really nice cut where the guy gives him the fedora, he puts his head down, and it cuts to when he's on the boat getting the **** kicked out of him.

anyway, its pointless to argue taste. if you dont like them, dont watch them. i enjoy them, so i will.

[EmpireOfDust]

I agree Rob, Indiana Jones, all of them were very good... Temple Of Doom doesnt match up well with the first and third, but it is still a good movie... In my humble opinion, Indy own Star Wars, but I still love Star Wars... I just think Indy is the best Trilogy, or lack of a better term, since there are supposively 25 chapters...

But, back to the topic at hand... I would pay to see Han Solo's roots explained in one of the Upcoming prequels...

[rObix]

his roots are explained in a novel. i dont remember which one, cuz i've never read it. it's something like he was abandoned, and raised by wookies. thats how he hooked up with chewie, when other wookiees would rather rip humans apart.

[Kyle Katarn]

The Paradise Snare
The Hutt Gambit
Rebel Dawn
I know Ann Crispen wrote Rebel Dawn, & I think she did the first two. Rebel Dawn (the only one of the 3 I have read) opens with Han & Lando's sabaac game over the Falcon. It's a good read!

[Jack]

A bit off topic (or actually on topic) I can just imagine yoda beating the s*** out of Han Solo's ankles while Han is trying to fly the mellenium(sp) falcon, yoda shouting out comments like "bring it on biatch!", funny stuff. I liked EP1, kinda my gulilty pleasure movie, pod race was dam cool, I can't belive someone said it shouldn't be in there. The only problem for me was there were waay too many droids, not enough aliens, imagination went right out of the window on tht part.(I did not have a problem with Jar Jar). And Jessica Alba would kick major a** as a Sith. (I just read all 6 pages so I felt I should comment on a little bit of everything)

thanks, man....i'll probably pick all three of those up. im still working on roguew planet, though

[EmpireOfDust]

I refuse to read any of those Star Wars books for one reason... I refuse to take somone others word on what some characters background is, and where they came from, unless George Lucas came up with it... He is the grandaddy of Star Wars, so I dont wanna get all up into those books if its just a waste on my brain...

[Maxx Havoc]

Lucas has to give his approval for all things Star Wars, so these books must be o.k. with him. The only thing your not allowed to write about is anything having to do with the current timeline Lucas is working with in the new trilogy, which makes sense.

[rObix]

LucasBooks/del rey puts the books out, man. they're legit. i doubt lucas reads them, but im sure he has a set of guidelines.
but he does always maintain that the films are the only true cannon of the story. the books are just fun stories.
and he appoints the writers to do the ones within the current timeline, like rogue planet and cloak of deception...the jedi apprentice, etc...

I loved it too. Problem is that the Original Star Wars Fans forgot how to be a kid again. Plus they forgot that the movie sets up what follows with the other movies. Not to mention that the "Fanboys" were telling Lucas how to tell his story. Its Lucas's story, not theirs. The script for the movie was not good. Come to think of it, niether the original movie script were that good. The point is that you went to that sort of movie to escape. I love all the movies. Some people loose the inner child in them. So when the go see TPM they say its crap. But if they were 5 to 10 years old, they would love the movie.

[Thoth]

First, the one thing I disliked most about Ep1 (not to beat a dead horse or anything...) is why did everyone speak English?!?! Subtitles and alien languages worked well in the originals. Have our attentions spans slipped that far???

Second, what do you all think about a Star Wars TV show done with an X-Files-like budget (that is, really expensive!). There is enough material between Lucas' brain and all the books, comics, etc. to have at least a few years run of good stuff.

[JBond]

IMO, I don't think there should ever a TV show. But you're right about the alien languages, although there were some other languages.

[rObix]

the other languages factor didn't come into play, i think, becuase at this point in time is the time of the republic. a broad sweeping system. "english" is something everyone needs to understand for the senate meetings, etc...
most of the other languages were on tatooine, and actually, i believe everyone was just speaking huttese on tatooine..

As for my opinions on TPM you can see them in the AOTC vs LOTR thread if you have the inclination to do so.
-TyRoss :eek:

Wow, 3 year bump..

[Miasma]

Jeez... what rock did this thread crawl out from under?

[Freelow]

Worst bump ever.

I just wanted to bump an old, poor grammar-ed post of TyRoss that he made when he was a n00b.

I didn't care for the casting of Jake Lloyd as Anakin. I thought he was too young. He looked to me to be even younger than he was supposed to be. It was like he was about 6 years old. Lucas should have cast someone roughly the age of Natalie Portman to make it more believible.
