Now the hype has worn off and Revenge of the Sith has completed the saga, how do you feel?
Do you feel the prequels are worthy predecessors to the original trilogy, or would you rather forget they ever happened?
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?

Do you feel the prequels are worthy predecessors to the original trilogy, or would you rather forget they never happened?
They started out shakey, and for me, they never fully captured the magic of the OT (but I suspect my own age has a lot to do with that....) Still, the movie did grow on me, and I'm glad they were made. I think ROTS did a good job of bridging the two trilogies. And, in defense of the PT, I will say that the plots were more involved and gave us more to talk about on these forums. The OT seems so simplistic in comparison.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
Yeah, I can see it as a six part saga. Of course, the OT will always feel a bit disconnected from the PT simply because of the technology that was available at the time, giving the movies a very different look. Also, when I see the OT, I'm reminded of being a kid again, whereas the PT doesn't do that to me, obviously. But it's fun to watch the OT in light of what we know happens in the PT.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
Yes. Realistically, I knew it would not completely recapture the feeling that I had in the 1980s when I was 8 years old I went to see ROTJ after school, but it was the only prequel movie that I really enjoyed on my first viewing.
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?
I am happy with the completed saga, and I do not think there is any need for a sequel trilogy. ROTJ brought things to a fitting conclusion, especially now that the prequels have made Anakin into the main character. But, I do hope the TV series is made and is a success.

Episode 1, could have been better. It didn't feel like it fit in with the prequels. The rest were fine and fit really well.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
I'll view it as 6 part series, thats the way it was meant to be.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
Yes and a little more.
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?
Well with the books, comics, games, cartoon, and tv show. I'm pretty much satisfied.

It's no secret that I'm not a fan of the first two films. I thought they were pretty average and sometimes, downright lousy. When I was watch the first two episodes I wish George Lucas would have given the directing job to someone other than himself. However, I do think ROTS is pretty damn good.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
I view them as two different trilogies. ROTS is the end of one group of films while, ANH is the start of an entire new series.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
Yes. ROTS is in fact, the only prequel worthy of the name. After, the disappointment of the first two I had very low expectations. This film blew me away. Its flawed but It's still better than Phantom or Clones.
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?
Overall, I'm happy with this saga and to say the least, I'd be very dissapointed with Lucas if he carries on Star Wars with more films.

Do you feel the prequels are worthy predecessors to the original trilogy, or would you rather forget they never happened?
Guess which one I'm going to pick :) I don't feel that the prequels were anywhere near the quality of the OT, and I'd rather just not dwell on them. If I never saw any of them again, that would be perfectly fine.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
Definitely separate. I can see how the stories would flow into one another, but I never felt that the OT needed a PT.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
Well, I guess on the whole it did since so many people are jumping on the bandwagon and raving about it, but I don't feel that way. The prequels, even ROTS, have only muddied up the OT for new generations of fans since they look "new", but there's not really any quality there (IMO of course).
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?
No more!!

Now the hype has worn off and Revenge of the Sith has completed the saga, how do you feel?
There's still hype over the prospects of a TV Series - I am interested in seeing how they do at that.
Do you feel the prequels are worthy predecessors to the original trilogy, or would you rather forget they never happened?
I wish they'd been punched up by other writers and that Anakin had been played by a different actor. A lot of the time it felt there wasn't the same intensity as the original cast carried it off with - using the same type of material I might add. Do I wish they'd never happened? no they just should have been done better.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
Oh they are very connected in my mind. it is a 6 parter for sure and I would like to see them all at once when I have a quiet day and friends over.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
I thought the second half was pretty well done that is what made me give the movie a mark as high as a 7/10 if not for that - it would have gotten a 5
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?
I could stand to see the story of Han Solo, the rebuilding if the New Jedi Order, and the rise of the Yuuzhan Vong. But if not - that's ok. Even if they were done CGI that would be interesting - but I can always live the adventure in the role playing game :D

WOw...everyone is really elaborating...I just want to say that I feel satisfied, and I thought EP III was an awesome end to the PT trilogy, and an awesome link to the OT trilogy. Thanks GL

Now the hype has worn off and Revenge of the Sith has completed the saga, how do you feel?
I feel relieved that's it all over. But i still feel hyped to see it even more.
Do you feel the prequels are worthy predecessors to the original trilogy, or would you rather forget they never happened?
I rather forget that Episode I and II happened. I like Episode iii enough to say that it's a worthy successor and awesome link to Episode IV.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
i will keep the two trilogies seperate in my mind. The Ot is better than the PT trilogy for sure.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
No, I don't think it lived up to the hype but it was a good movie overall. It basically filled in the gaps. There are simply better movies out there like Crash, Cindrella Man, Batman and WOTW coming. I suppose since people are jumping on the bandwagon I guess ROTS has returned Star Wars to it's name.
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?
I'm satisfied that Episode III was an awesome link to Episode IV.

Now the hype has worn off and Revenge of the Sith has completed the saga, how do you feel?Its still a very weird feeling knowing that this was the last Star Wars film. It still hasnt really soaked in yet. But I am very happy that it ended with a great film and not a dissapointment.
Do you feel the prequels are worthy predecessors to the original trilogy, or would you rather forget they never happened?I think the prequels make the Originals much better. Its great seeing all six of them together. Im glad they were made. They were a great addition.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?Well because the movies are so visually different, I'll probably still think of them as the PT and OT, and not really as a whole. But at the end, they're all Star Wars movies.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?Absolutely! ROTS was the perfect link to the OT. Its a great movie and I plan on viewing it many many times on DVD.
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?I think Im satisfied. The films are complete and Im happy with them. Theres still the T.V. series to hold me over.

I love the ending of ROTJ now because it makes you feel what all the characters went through during and before palpatines reign of terror. you even hear a gungan shout "wesa free" i like to think its' Jar Jar.... i never hated him. then you see them pulling down the statue of sidious in Corusaunt ala sadam hussein. and that music its just a great ending to the star wars saga, which by the way i wouldn't mind more just because i love lightsabers I think the New Jedi Order would be neat but there is no villan compared to Darth Vader, so i don't know who one would be. possibly a Jedi training under Luke finds some of Palpatine's notes and secrets of the dark side and tries to do what palapatine could not. won't be star wars without yoda or kenobi though, i suppose they could still be ghosts or maybe qui gon finds a way to come back and bring back kenobi and skywalker, but that would border on rediculious so its probably just best to leave it alone.

Some of you may know whom this really is, some of you may not (I do not care to elaborate on this, I just feel that I kind of left some of you, whom I've been here during the long run with, dangling and never got the chance to tell you how I felt about the film). Anyway, onto the question:
Now the hype has worn off and Revenge of the Sith has completed the saga, how do you feel?
I feel many things on this topic. First off, in my opinion, RotS could not have been any better. As soon as I saw the two Jedi fighters dip over the star destroyer and into the massive battle above Coruscant, I knew I was watching something special; something that comes around only so often. I felt a sudden uplift during the film knowing that I was watching the culimation of what is in my opinion the best film saga of all time. Some things were just so..... magnificent, that it nearly brought a tear to my eye. The Jedi 'Purge', Obi-Wan telling Anakin that he loved him, the end with the Binary Sunset, etc. all just really stood out to me in some way, shape, or form. This is truly one of my favorite films of all time (note that I said 'favorite', not 'best') and I don't think I made that decision as a 'spur of the moment' kind of thing. I've now seen RotS six times, and I've loved it a little more each time.
Do you feel the prequels are worthy predecessors to the original trilogy, or would you rather forget they never happened?
Yes and no. 'The Phantom Menace' is a slap in the face to 'A New Hope' and 'the Empire Strikes Back' but it was a neccessary evil to tell the story of Anakin Skywalker. 'Attack of the Clones' was an improvement in my book, but still lacked that special something that the first two parts of the OT had (I'm not a big fan of 'Return of the Jedi' aside from a few key scenes: Yoda's death, Luke V. Vader, the Force Ghost Redemption at the end, etc.). I didn't think that a Star Wars prequel could possibly dethrone ANH or ESB. Then RotS came along, and in my opinion did just that.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
Definitely a six part saga. The OT is just half the story. While it may be the better half, only half does it remain.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honor to the Star Wars name?
I think it lived up to the hype for most fans (myself included) but I'm not terribly sure about the general public. On my second showing I took a friend that had very little background in Star Wars. At the end he told me that it was good, but not great. So I guess I don't really know. Most people seem to like it though.
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?
No more in my opinion. If they want to do a TV show or more Clone Wars, that's fine. I'll watch them. But no more films. The series is about Anakin. He died in Episode VI. Story over.
My Final Rankings for the SW Saga:
1. RotS
2. ESB
3. ANH
4. AotC
5. RotJ
6. TPM
Just wanted to clear some things up, goodbye.

They are definatley not worthy to stand in the presence of the original Trilogy except for Revenge of the Sith. I would like to forget Episode I and II's crapiness but as films I will remmber them.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
I will still view them as seperate.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
Yes, in a way. I didnt expect it to be as good as it was, so bascially yeah. For me at least.

Very satisfied with the prequel films.
I do look at it now as a 6 piece saga. I will watch the movies in chronological order from now on.
ROTS answered all my questions and raised a couple more which I am sure the TV series will answer.
Very pleased overall.

Indeed it is, 1-3 was anakins story, 4-6 was more of lukes story. Should they decide to continue on with Luke's story is anyone's guess however i feel that there is no need for anymore sequels buts its always exciting to see a new starwars movie.

so... the old movies were focused on Anakin? I think not, no matter what GL says. That was Luke's Story. I'm just saying the entire saga is not Anakins story. I'm not saying there is need for a new trilogy, im just saying if they do decide to do it they have options.

With Revenge of the Sith I am glad that they happend.

I think I am now, and will later view it as a 3 two part trilogies. But not when I am watching Revenge of the Sith.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
Yes, it is my favorite Star Wars

To me, the PT was Anakin's story, the OT was the story of how Luke dealt with Anakin/Vader, and his own coming of age. The two trilogies together are primarily about the rise and fall of the Empire. So, ROTJ is a definite ending in any case. I agree that they could milk the franchise and make sequels, but I think it would feel tacked on, and that would cheapen the experience. As many others have said, probably the best way to make more movies would be to go back and tell the story of how the Jedi first defeated the Sith, and why the Sith sought revenge. That wouldn't feel tacked on because we already know something significant must have happened, and the movies would just provide the details.
Mr. Frodo
05-26-2005, 10:50 AM
that would be a good idea, but i think it would take away the emotion at the end of ROTJ. yeah on second thought leave it alone.

Great
Do you feel the prequels are worthy predecessors to the original trilogy, or would you rather forget they ever happened?
Yes they are worthy they are completely different though - its good to see the rise of teh empire and fall of anie. There is much to read into it - even in the romance.
Will you now view it as a 6 part series or will you keep the two trilogies separate in your mind?
Yes and no like I said the first half is different but at the same time you have to watch it as a whole.
Do you think Revenge of the Sith lived up to the hype and has returned some honour to the Star Wars name?
Yes - I cant get enough of it.
Are you satisfied with the completed saga, or are you lusting for more?
I am satisfied - no more movies everything is wraped up imo. I will watch the clone wars dvd though.

George Lucas needed to do it right, or not do it at all.
Two terrible movies and one decent flick do NOT live up to the standards set by the original trilogy. Not even close.
Now go ahead, flame away.

Episode III completely made the other films worth it. I just wish that Lucas would have figured out how to make a good movie and spent a little more time on story for the first two episodes.
Don't be sad that Star Wars is over, I don't think it is. I posted a thread that showed a rumor I read and it was closed.
Now there is another article that supports the rumor that Lucas IS going to make more Star Wars films. If he doesn't make them he will have a director step in.
I am going to put a new thread up on this new article. See how fast it closes for being a rumor.
