Default Re: OMG: The Revenge of the Sith

I think there are a number of factors why some people who are fond of the OT dislike the new trilogy. They have fond memories of first seeing the OT, and it has reached such a level of fondness that they can't believe the new movies could be as good. Also GL makes the new movies how he has always wanted to with lots of effects. Had the effects been available with the OT he would have made different movies. Also the lack of effects in the originals meant more effort was put into the characters of the originals. People have their ideals of what a Star Wars movie should be and when they see something GL has put in for some reason that they disagree with then they feel the whole movie is a disaster. It seems GL's idea for Star Wars has never been the same as some peoples. I read the IMDB entry for Mark Hamill and he is quoted as saying he believes GL would prefer to make movies without any actors in them. That said, I am against Jar-Jar and the gungans who take away from the seriousness of PM. I think perhaps they are just to cater to children, not the grown ups who saw the originals. But, its GL's vision and as the man who invented it he is entitled to do what he wants. Star Wars is my favourite film and I will try to see it on the first day. Instead of criticising anything I feel may be wrong I'll just be glad to get a starwars film of any type, after all its not as if there will ever be any other Versions of it.
