Re: i wonder if anyone is aware of this...
Me sa jar jar binks. Me in da mooovee tooo appeals toooo four year olds.
I'm sorry, but the context in the original 3 star wars movies was girtty, dark and bleak....and even scandelous. Jaba totally made laya[sp] his love slave.
Anyway....episode 1 and 2 were both so G-rated. I mean, what the hell do you need an uber-leet Jedi Alliance for when the Empire is a giant p|ussy?
Think about it: you have the force. You have a mysterious limitless budget to build things like Deathstars and Star Destroyers. Are you going to do G-rated things?
I don't think so.
There better be more force griping, and more force abuse. I mean, damn. Even Han Solo ran off a few swear words.
Personally, I can't stand Episode 1 anymore, and Episode 2 is decent....probably because it doesn't feature a 10 minute long pod racing scene which was an obvious plug for a videogame...
The thing is, Peter Jackson came into the picture 3 years ago, he released 3 movies, all within a shorter time span, and he kicked Star Wars' ass.
The comparison is apt, because the Lord Of The Rings was really the first grand scale book that focused purely on good vs. evil.
Honestly, my expectations for Episode 3 are pretty low. But if making it PG-13 is necessary to convey the Star Wars theme, then I'm all for it.
