It can, because EP 1 and 2 were good.

Let's just say that you're prefectly entitled to your opinion, and enjoyed those movies far more than most people did, and leave it at that, m'kay?

Ghostavo asked me. So I felt free to post that.

TopAce, I asked everyone in general... retoricaly...

[StratComm]

And I'll put my name in the Star Wars: Ep I and II:  worst trash to be called sci-fi I've ever seen.  I wasn't even that impressed with the visuals.

Actually, what made Star Wars TOS work was the characters within. True, Princess Leias hair was incredible, but she would have thrown JarJar into an airlock and opened the door about 30 minutes into Episode 1. Han Solo was just brilliant, and worked really well along Carrie Fishers' acting. Luke just seemed like a clueless kid blundering his way through, and yet matured brilliantly by the end.
For all of the incredible athletics displayed in the fight scenes in the new movies, very few of them, to my mind, are equal to the Jabba's Barge and Final confrontation with Darth, where Luke finally loses his temper, they just rock

btw Darth Vaders voice only was James Earl Jones, the actual 'Man in the Black Suit' was an actor whose name escapes me, but he had such well known roles as 'The Jolly Green Giant' and 'The Green Cross Code Man'

[Unknown Target]

See, the original Star Wars was great by 70s standards, cheesy by 90s standards, and campy and retro by todays standards. But the thing that carried them through and made them so great was, like Flipside said, the acting, and as we can see, GL is obviously maniacly obsessed with visuals and not acting, because the acting is some of the worst I've seen in a big-budget film.

[Liberator]

No, aside from Liam Neeson in Ep. 1, the acting has been the worst in a big budget film.  Even the Hulk(which I enjoyed when I finally saw it on video a couple months ago) had better acting.  The acting was slightly better than Daredevil, but that doesn't matter, it still sucked big piles of monkey stuff.

Acting ... uhm. I never noticed they were that bad. I'd better see the film once again and put the actors under magnifying glass.

You failed to notice Hayden Christensen's bad acting? Are you blind AND deaf?

[color=6ff00]Too true, the fight at the end of Jedi just had so much passion and power to it even though as it was pointed out; it's an untrained kid vs. a cripple. Lucas is a fine producer (see Indiana Jones) but he directs eye candy no brainers. The fact that ANH was good is as has been stated simply a side effect of him accidently hiring  actors that shone despite the material.

As for the man in black I think you're talking about David Prowse? I know that because he's a local.

well I guess watching epp 2 could do that to you

[Flipside]

Come to think of it, even Wedge Antilles developed a following, and he said about 25 words in 3 movies, Boba Fett said even less. I think it's because the acting didn't have the 'Look Mom! I'm on Star Wars!' edge to it

I seem to recall somewhere that Wedge's father was the captain of the Corellian Corvette that gets captured at the start of Star Wars? Can anyone verify this?

Around my house he's known as 'Darth Whiner'.

How is that petulant, whining kid going to become teh ultimate Badass that is TEH DARTH VADER?

[an0n]

Boba Fett didn't say anything in the original trilogy and only says about 10 words in Ep1 and 2.

That's part of his ass-kickin'ness. Not only is he uninterested in discussing your fate with you, he's also so disaffected by the plight of those he's hunting that he doesn't even discuss them with his employer. He doesn't care why they want them, doesn't care who they are and basically doesn't give a crap as long as he gets paid.

[Liberator]

Although, given a Jedi killed his Pops, he's probably got a mad-on for them.

[an0n]

Methinks he wouldn't give much of a crap seen as he's most likely going to be the biggest Jedi-killer in Ep3. I'm guessing butchering hundreds of them would alleviate his all-cconsuming hatred of them.

You sure? I seem to remember him having a line about how come Han Solo was no good to him dead before Vader froze him.
