am I the only one that thought ANH sucked? even AotC was better. ok, maybe not AotC. but still...

[MR_T3D]

WHAT!???!

ANH was the best one!

[aRaven]

maybe TopAce first started watching starwars prequels before the classic trilogy .

ps: the prequels: epic fail.

I sincerely think Lucas had made a luckshot with ANH. TESB was directed by Kershner (very good) and ROTJ was ass, too.

[Stormkeeper]

...or maybe not, but hell we're talking about ROTS here). ...

I think you mean ROTJ ...

[TopAce]

maybe TopAce first started watching starwars prequels before the classic trilogy ...

And you concluded that based on my not hating RotJ?

By the way, no. I watched the originals first. Why I even liked the prequels was because I like Jedi action, and I think Palpatine's double identity is a great idea. But, of course, that's strictly related to afterburners.

i concluded that based on you liking AOTC more than ANH :O

[TopAce]

It isn't me that said that. It was the other "Top". Scroll up.

[Stormkeeper]

That was TopGun not TopAce. You two keep getting mixed up.

[Snail]

No proof Fenrir!

Oops. My bad.

You know Raven, I keep misreading your name as Revan.

I saw ANH first. And I thought it was AWESOME!!!!
because I was about nine.
after I saw ESB I was like, "WOW!!!!"
and then when I saw ANH again I was like, "those stormtroopers are so corny. this movie sucks. I can't believe I liked this stuff.":
ESB and RotJ rulez.
and then ep 1 came out and I was like, "hmm, cool". and when ep 2 came out I was like, "wow, anakin and padme's acting sucked."
and when ep 3 came out, I was like, "pretty cool".
story of my life.

      Space is playing the prequel trilogy to promote the kiddie 3d crap coming to theatres. And I watch a bit and I can't believe that Lucas even friggin changed the prequels too! Watched the podrace and there was a bunch of crap put in there that was . . . pointless quite honestly. In the original some guy wipes out in front of Anakin and the pilot compartment narrowly misses Anakin and he's driving around and his mom looks away from the monitor. That was not bad directing. But now, they have the thing fly over his head, then some piece of debris severs Anakin's pod from one of the engines and he's twirling around behind the engines for like a few seconds before he stops spinning for no reason, and pulls out some magic stick to bring his line back to the pod. Oh and halfway through his mom looks away. It's like . . .adding all this random crap kills the pacing. How can a person screw up a mediocre movie even more???

[aRaven]

I prefer the unused/deleted duel of the fates /naboo batte footage over some ben hur podracing...

[MR_T3D]

i thought he used the morce with that 'magic stick'... or it was magnetic

[Stormkeeper]

I always thought it was a computer spike of some sort, to overload the power thing and boost more power to his engines.

     No, in the "updated" prequel, after the guy in front of Anakin crashes and nearly takes his head off, a piece of debris severs one of his tow cable or engine harnesses or whatever. And after spinning around (but for some reason, not crashing, or hitting the ground) he stops spinning for no reason, and then uses some magnetic pole to grab the loose cable and re-attach it the chariot.

     Or basically, Lucas forgot what "build-up" means, and added a bunch of dangers to anakin during the race which makes his confrontation with Sebulba rather tame by comparison.

[Mongoose]

Wait...so he even screwed with the podrace scene?  That was one of the few portions of episode 1 that I legitimately enjoyed.  Figures...

[Stormkeeper]

My favorite scene in RotS is when R2 kapows the SBDs at the start of the movie.
