captain-disa replied to your post: I hope Lucas has his ideas for Star Wars VII - XII written down somewhere, and is just waiting to pass it on. That way it’ll be his stuff, but with a new person making it, so the fandom will think differently about it. Since I think half of the…

Like I always say, if you don’t like something, just ignore it and don’t watch it and complain about it and therefore ruin it for those who do. It’s not that fucking hard. Jesus.

Yes, there were lots of things that were wrong with Episodes I-III, but people seem to think that IV-VI were utterly flawless, which they are not. That doesn’t make them shit movies though.

Things wrong with episodes IV-VI

Nothing much happens for AGES at the start of ANH, between the droids landing on Tatooine and the Cantina (and Lucas cut out a fair chunk of stuff to speed that part up!). Also, what the fuck is up with Aunt Beru’s voice?

Between the end of the Battle of Hoth and Luke arriving at Cloud City ESB moves at a snails pace. Also, the original Wampa scene was a farce. Also, also, “Our first catch of the day” is the most badly delivered line in the history of cinema.

Luke’s hair throughout RotJ is so bad that there were serious rumours that the release of the ROTJ special edition was being delayed because they were altering it frame by frame. I shit you not. The Ewoks.

See…we can rip the shit out of the Original Trilogy and still recognise that they are wonderful works of genius. And don’t forget the biggest criticism of the OT, from Harrison Ford himself, “George, you can write this shit but you can’t say it.”

Oh lol, I had never heard that Harrison Ford quote before! That’s hilarious.

And thank you, yes, I’ve always thought that IV-VI had some serious pacing problems but god forbid I voice that opinion in case the Star Wars Fanboy Police come and arrest me. In terms of pace, I do prefer I-III, though on the other hand Hayden Christensen’s “acting” is utterly painful to watch. See, good and bad points, Star Wars fans.

Haydn’s acting is just fine…from a certain point of view. See…he’s playing a man who’s trying to keep his emotions tightly under control. He’s locked down, almost like a robot…”He’s more machine now than man”…refers to more than just his body… Check out the scenes where Anakin loses control…particularly the scene at the Lars homestead after he’s slaughtered the Tusken Raiders…and, well, the second half of Revenge of the Sith, after he turns to the Dark Side. That one shot, in particular, of him standing on Mustafar, his face a vision of pain and loss…it’s haunting. Haydn’s said himself that he was trying to emulate the speech patterns that Vader had in the OT, and James Earl Jones said that most of the time he was reading the lines as flatly and emotionlessly (not a word, I know) as he could…because he saw Vader as mostly machine. So, from a certain point of view, Haydn gave a great performance in both films…but I’ll agree that it’s uncomfortable to watch at times. But…it’s supposed to be.

That’s a good point; I’d never thought of that before. Though, in the scene where he tells Padme that it’s the “best day of his life”, he really is FAR too unemotional and I can’t help but joke about it. And Ewan McGregor does completely outdo him throughout II and III.
