i agree.. and ironically the first 2 didn't even win an Oscar for special effects.. instead they were beat out by the Matrix and Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers respectively, movies that actually tried something different .. something that Lucas used to do

this is what i originally thought he was going to do. start the trilogy off where Anakin was the same age as Luke from Episode 4. atleast that way parallels could be drawn between the 2 characters in terms of their development.

instead EP1 wasted so much precious time that he could have used to his advantage in telling more about the "Anakin story", which essentially is what the whole trilogy revolves around.

It's funny that not only were they beat out in special effects but both of those movies are leaps and bounds ahead of EP I and II in terms of plot, acting and just overall enjoyment.

Yes, I agree, they did waste a lot of time in EP1.

My take is that he/they should of cut EP1 in half leaving the important stuff in and moved all the Episodes back.
The first half of EP2 becomes the last half of EP1 and so on, until we are left with the last half of EP3 which becomes now the first half, leaving more screen time to transition everything else( Qui-con's force apparition,, Yoda landing on Degobah, Lando, Han, Falcon, Fett, Jabba, Piett, Dodonna, Mothma, etc) and not finish it off in cartoon and live action for T.V. that will be coming later.

Careless is he..

Conan Obrian quotable:"Steven Spielberbg says that after fans see the new 'Star wars' movie they will leave the theater in tears. Mainly because they'll realize they wasted 25 years of their life."

after seeing the newest starwars eps 3..

i gotta say..

it was good.

I too thought this movie was just ok. A big improvement over the last two episodes, but that aint saying much.

An ok storyline, but as most people said:
-bad dialogue! "We always wanted to adopt a baby girl" (PUKE!) a simple: 'we always wanted a baby girl' would've sufficed.
-Padme's character pulled a full 180, going from stoic to sappy. So disappointed in that.
-Anakin was TOO easily swayed by the dark side in this film. Should've developed that more.
-droid & animal characters had very childish sounds at serious moments.
-really disliked the light sabers in this one. wayyy too digitized- during fight scenes u were just blinded by the light, and not in a good way. I miss the old light sabers.

Some people like a movie for more than just action and like to pick apart a movie, especialy when the flaws are so obvious.

Enough is enough. Let's not bash George Lucas for 1 whole day because on May 25, 1977 Star Wars was originally released and it changed the history of cinema and pop culture forever. Honestly, his epic 6 movies saga is a brilliant masterpiece illustrating the hero's journey for Anakin Skywalker on a mythic level making him one of the greatest storytellers of all time.

No joke this man will be remembered as a visionary and historians in the future will compare him to Shakespeare and Homer for his genius in storytelling using the medium of film.

Happy birthday STAR WARS!!!

History would be better off leaving out the first three episodes of the trilogy, they're about as necessary as the matrix sequels.
