Yeah, Jar Jar sucks. Yes, Episode I tries to appeal too much to the kids.

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.

Dark and gritty? Ha! Bleak? I could see ESB described as such, but both ANH and RotJ were pretty happy movies. Yeah, Jabba made Leia his love slave. And Boba Fett watched his father get his head sliced off.
AotC, at least, has the "dark" and "bleak," and this thread alone signifies RotS is going have more than the classic trilogy combined. Besides, just because a movie is "dark and gritty" doesn't mean its good.

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?
|
Huh? First, they were both PG. Second, I agree TPM is a little kiddy, but AotC certainly isn't. Heads and hands sliced off, fathers dying, the slaughter of entire villages. IMO, out of just the classic trilogy and the first two prequels, AotC is the least "G-rated."
And what in God's name are talking about Jedi Alliances and Empires? The Empire isn't even formed yet. Are you talking about the Separatists? They aren't the Empire, and what gave you the impression they were a huge vagina? And the Jedi never had an alliance beyond just theur basic order. Are you talking about the Rebel Alliance? That doesn't exist, either.

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?

What "G-rated" things beyond Jar Jar? What are you talking about?
[quote]There better be more force griping, and more force abuse. I mean, damn. Even Han Solo ran off a few swear words.[q/uote]
So, essentially, you just want Vader, right? Except for the Force Lightning in RotJ, he's the only guy in the classic trilogy who used the Dark Side. And what about swear words? So what? Like that makes a movie?
Besides, Dex swears in AotC. And I'm fairly certain only Obi-Wan swore in the classic trilogy. Han gives off a, "I'll see you in hell!" but I'm pretty sure that's it.

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 Podrace esablished Anakin's racing abilities. It was cool. If the Podrace was your main complaint against TPM, you have problems.

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.
|
Peter Jackson worked far longer on the LotR trilogy than three years. He was writing and rewriting and selling the script to studios years before New Line got a hold of it. The only reason the movies were released so quickly was becuase Jackson did it all concurrently. Lucas is doing one movie at a time.

The comparison is apt, because the Lord Of The Rings was really the first grand scale book that focused purely on good vs. evil.

That's ignorant and stupid.

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.

Obviously, considering your need for "dark and bleakness" and non "G-rated" things.
You know, I'm really hoping your trying to be funny in some way, 'cause the only other two alternatives are that you're simply spewing out what people have told you, or you're really stupid.
Either way, s'not good.

) will see that it has PG-13, think that that will make it cooler because it is more violent, and want to see it.
