Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Star Wars on Blu Ray....

Is this where I mention that I haven't even seen all the movies? I saw the three original movies....what's that? Four, Five and Six?

Never saw the newer releases of the "earlier" prequels.

Mark, I think we are going to sign you up for Netflix and manage your queue for you.

Just 'cause you've got Netflix DVDs doesn't mean you watch them.

Sadly, I can attest to that. Finally put a couple in the mail today.

I've been on first Blockbuster, then Netflix movies in the mail for a long, long time. I still go through about 3 or 4 movies a week through them. I just finished watching The Beatles Anthology, and Planet 51.

I think when Lucas got it wrong is when he tried to make the prequels more "kids friendly" and "funny". The original trilogy was not funny, it was a dark story (although that has also been changing over the years from release to release). I am not a hardcore fan so I think overall, aside from these funny moments and Hayden's terrible acting, the prequels work pretty well.
My favorite battle from all 6 movies is the Duel of Fates in Phantom Menace and one of my demo scenes for surround is the Pod Race.
Although I prefer the old trilogy, I'll probably end up owning the complete saga.

Thanks for saying this. I know that everyone loves hating on Jar Jar (messa kinda likes him) but Hayden makes much of the second movie unwatchable for me and doesn’t help much in the third.

Maybe someone will remake it using CGI, where Jar-Jar and Hayden trades places.

Natalie Portman doesn't exactly demonstrate acting skills in those movies, either.

She was much better on Sesame Street.

Agreed 110%. They added too many burps, and farts, and other plain nonsense to cater to young kids, instead of just making it a serious film to begin with a touch of humor here and there. I know, today's generation isn't into Han's dry humor, or other witty dialog, but when they added the bumbling idiot Jar Jar, it was a mess.
