I don't actually like any of the Star Wars movies that have come out in the last 15yrs.  When ever i watch one i feel like Lucas used hot special effects to drive the plot line.  A plot line that feels like it came out of a piece of sci-fi pulp fiction.

 

They all feel...cheap and filled with cliches and predictable dialogue.

Aren't all stories like that nowadays?

 

Nothing is new...

Therefore, they are cliches....

 

Also, how dare you?

*stabbity stab stabs!*

no, not all stories now adays.  you haven't seen many movies have you?

I like number 1 for nostalgic reasons, what with it being the first star wars movie I relly saw, and in a theatre no less, I hate number 2, because it's made from shit and anakin is a whining little bitch in it, I rather enjoy number 3, as I find it pleasing

the only good thing in #3 is the end where Vader is created.

the only good thing in #2 is the final scene with the new star destroyers are taking off and 'the emperor' is overlooking from a balcony and the imperial march plays.

So you don't like any Star Wars movies that have come out since 1994? Not much of a secret. I think that if you are able to spell and formulate thoughts, most people will just assume you didn't like those movie. ;D

LOL!  Yeah, i admitted it to Az and he says i'm in the 50% bracket of star wars fans..

If it doesn't have Han Solo in it, why watch it? I never saw those three at all.

 

 

I actually rather enjoyed Episode 1.  It was slow in parts, and Jar Jar Binks was terrible, but I loved Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, the Droid Army, and Natalie Portman (HOT!!).

 

Episode 2 war pure CGI and while I enjoyed certain, select aspects such as the Jedi Arena Scene, the proton torpedoes, and Camino, overall it was the worst of the series. 

 

Episode 3 was good once Anakin started turning evil.  The fight scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan was great; the one scene I believed Hayden Christensen in was the rage when Obi-Wan defeated him.

I didn't hate everything about the last three movies, so here's a short list

 

Liked:

+Pretty

+Lightsaber Fights

+Ewan McGreggor

+Mace Windu

(and even though it got cheesy, I did enjoy Yoda fighting)

 

Disliked:

-Everything Else (Anakin was a whiny 'lil s.o.b wasn't he?)

I LOVE YODA!!!!

 

Probably just because he is green, short and awesome!

 

Anakin cried to much.

But still, I tend not to criticize movies or books too much...

So, meh.

 

Canuk, I would have to argue that most movies are not new, just remakes or spin-offs or elaborate twists of old movies or ideas.

Nothing will ever compete with the original trilogy, however I consider ep 3 the closest to joining them in hallowed glory.

 

That space battle at the start of ep 3 is the delivery of a promise that was made decades ago. Just awesome.

My favorite part of episode 2 is when we get to see what a BAMF yoda is when he actually fights.

i like the arena scene in episode two

Yeah he was a quick little thing

You know, I tend to agree with your thoughts here, but the characters in the three original movies were archetypes ripped straight from mythology. The princess, the rogue, the trickster, the farmboy, etc. But somehow they didn't feel cliched. Or maybe I was six years old in 1976.

It's still fairly good now

fairly

 

I take offense to the use of this word!

 

Fantastic would be better  ;D

No it shows it's age a bit, unlike Aliens

Aliens is still great, but Star Wars revolutionized everything that made Aliens possible.  Also, I like the story and characters better.

Yeah, but I'm still amazed the old aliens movies have xenomorphs looking better then their latter day CGI equivalents

That is true.

Ewoks are made of win.

I have to agree with Verbal here.

Those little buggers were hardly in the movie, but after Yoda, they are the best.

Even the re-releases of the original movies were lame.
