Any and all.Ep 4 New Hope had all the classic elements of a true tale.Reluctant Hero "It's not like I love the Empire I hate it,but there's nothing I can't do about it right now." Wise sage to guide the hero..."Your eyes can deceive you don't trust them.."Rogue- "I'm not in this for any revolution,and I'm not in it for you.I expect to be well paid." Villain(s) "Commander,tear this ship apart until you found those plans and bring me the passengers I want them ALIVE!" "We shall test this fortress' destructive power on your home planet of Alderran"

LOVE the original movies....pretty much HATED the new three. I mean, yeah....each had cool moments, but even those moments put together couldn't make ONE entertaining film....and on their own couldn't raise those three new STAR WARS movies farther than the Badly Written/Acted/CGI wankfests they turned out to be.

IMO, SERENITY >>>>>>>> Any of the New STAR WARS movies.

Hey Tasslehofff

You should check "hero with a thousand faces". You'd probably dig it.

Let's not hate on Lucas too much. He is the greatest independent film maker of all time.

We were just expecting the second coming with the prequel saga.

I was 9 when the first one came out, it totally blew me away and I don't think I've ever felt that way about a movie since. I thought the final 3 were ok, effects were great, but overall, just really not that good.

But, yeah, you're right BR, my expectations were so high, I don't think it was possible to meet them.

Yeah, I'm a Star Wars geek, so what bigsmile

Oh my God!!!

In 1999 with "The Phantom Menace" being released I was so like expecting some type of world changing event.

Yeah, me too, I was expecting the meaning of life and the second coming of Christ, and just about everything else. My son, however, loved it. But, he'd only seen the first 3 on video, I think he loves the second set more.

I still remember the feeling I had when Darth Vader appeared the first time, he scared me to death then and I still think he's one of the scariest characters ever.

Well I took Ep 1 for what it was..the beginning of a new story, the only part that really made me grumble was that midichlorin crap..WTH!! The Force is just supposed to be..not be explained why it's there.

Don't forget about lil' anakin taking out the Trade Fed.'s control ship. That was a bad idea.

We won't even mention JarJar.

I think Lucas thought he had a real winner for the younger kids there. But everyone hated him. He nearly ruined the movie.

If there was any justice in the world, He would have been killed by Palpatine or someone like that.

I think Jar Jar should have been thrown into the Sarlacc pit and THEN the Rancor and then be made to sleep with Jabba.If that's not gonna make that gungan kill himself, I don't know what will.
