Can ?Star Wars: Episode III? be saved?

Interesting article. I doubt it can be saved as Lucas has lost it and insists on being at the creative (?) hub of this aborted trilogy.

Who fucking cares?

Star Wars sucks donkey balls.

well joe, there are a few of us who liked Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.........and would like to see the spirit of these movies restored.

The spirit of these movies is the spirit of commercialism.

George Lucas virtually invented the modern phenomenon of movie merchandising.

He should be dragged out into the street and shot.

I did like the original 3 movies, as well as some of the books that take place 'after' the movies.

However I think Lucas ought to be taken behind a barn and shot on the back of his head. These two prequel movies are fucking family entertainment..

Christopher Bahn really doesn't like StarWars or Lucas, a one sided article.

With good reason.

Apparently he has nothing against the original 3.. but you have to admit both of the prequel movies have been utter crap.

I liked the first two Star Wars movies, thought "Return of the Jedi" was quite weak, and of course, have been horrified at just how bad "Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones" were.

Many of us think Lucas has grown rusty, lazy, trite and dull.

Gone are the days of "THX-1138" and "American Graffitti". I mean, how can someone not like "American Graffitti"?

He should either have completely delved in his projects, and the stories and character development a la Peter Jackson, or given over more creative control on such things as script-writing etc.

:2 cents:

The prequel movies are nowhere near what they should be, but I wouldn't go as far to say they were utter crap but they are now just for family entertainment agreed.

Okay, so he doesn't completely hate StarWars, still a pretty one sided article though. :2 cents:

ummmmmmmmm............I would go so far as to say they are utter crap. And that is very sad.

Why didn't Lucas just make the fucking movie we all wanted to see?

Episode III: Lightsaber Blood Bath

Face it, we want to see lightsaber battles, lightsabers cutting shit, lightsabers melting shit, lightsabers deflecting shit, and most importantly, lightsabers carving new assholes into Jedi and Sith alike.

Were he to make this movie, it would pass Titanic as the all time box office gross champion so fast that within 2 months Bill Gates would drop to second wealthiest person in the world.

Good for you. :glugglug

Buff, I think you will dig General Grevious in the 3rd one then.......I think the effects hi-liting his sabre play will be fantastic and kewl........but once again, the characters and dialogue will be so wooden and laughable to take this whole storyline down the tubes.

yeah they were very disappointing.

Remember the first time you saw Episode IV? The first time you saw Vader? Wow. Just wow.

And what do we have now? Jar Jar.

So fucking gay.

got a sense of humour?

Yeah. Han solo's smart ass comments were funny.

Jar Jar is a retarded homosexual space Jamaican. There's nothing funny about that even in a galaxy far far away.

Wrong kind of humor for these movies.

"I?ve seen more interesting films on sandwiches I left in my fridge too long." :1orglaugh

Would be nice if Lucas had the balls to have Anakin kill Jar Jar. While it sounds corny it would play out well.

Anakin, who has known Jar Jar most of his life, starts to go towards the dark side. Jar Jar, who worships "Anni", tries to stop his old friend from going after Obi-wan. Anakin is so determined to kill Obi-wan that he will let nothing stand in his way. He kills Jar Jar in a fit of rage and then when he realizes what he has done he blames it on Obi-wan, flaming his anger even further and marking the point where he truly turns to the dark side. He chases Obi-wan into the lava caverns where of course he meets his fate.

Jar Jar most likely dies in this movie, whether on or offscreen. Lucas has said he was not alive during Episode IV. Hopefully he will meet his destiny at the hands of Anakin. Seems dark and cruel, but what better plot purpose could he serve? Plus sales would jump when word got out that Anikin kills Jar Jar. It's every fanboy's dream I think.

There are already heavy rumors going around that Lucas is going to do a Boba Fett TV series that takes place in between Episode III and IV. If this happens I am sure he will cross paths with Darth Vader as scours the galaxy looking for Jedi to kill.
Hopefully it is better than the Star Wars Holiday Special. Still hard to imagine that Art Carney and Bea Arthur were in Star Wars :1orglaugh

Ok, but not my point. I don't think Buff has a sense of humour. :glugglug

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Could be thinking of bluff though, can't remember. :glugglug

George Lucas is a horrible writer.

His movie "Empire" (no pun intended) is massive. I think he lost it when he found out that movie products = Big $$$

Return of the Jedi = Ewoks.

Ewoks dolls, Ewoks lunch boxes, Ewoks diapers.. You get the point.

Ewoks "destroyed" the essence of the movies. Star Wars then became family entertainment.

The Hardcore fans won't admit it, but Start Wars stopped being Star Wars after "Empire Strikes Back". After that, it's "Lucasfilm" the movie empire, trying to rule the world with movie products. But hey, who can blame them.. They were almost the first ones to do it.

It could be nothing but a blank screen and people will still line up to see it just because it's a cult thing.

They'll be serving kool-aid at the premier.

Return Of The Jedi was still a good movie. And didn't seem out of place with the other two imo. (ok ewoks suck ass but shit happens)


Dreading the new film after the mess of the last two movies...

I must admit that would be cool.. it might just do the trick

The guy can't write. Anakin saves the planet and they don't bother to get his mom out of slavery? The force is a bunch of bugs that wander our blood stream?? I am sure their was more shit in number II but by then I was just taking some kids and trying not to fall alseep.

I agree!

Stars Wars has become a piece of shit. Star Trek is much better.

Right...:1orglaugh
Although I loved the reruns of the original series a while ago in finland. Shatner was such a sexy stud.
