I never said you were dumb, or intellectually inferior. I never implied you were dumb, or intellectually inferior. I said you did not understand the movies. I didn't understand Lost Highway... that doesn't make me dumb, it just means I didn't know what the hell was going on because I only saw the movie once, and it didn't make sense to me. I don't understand advanced trigonometry. It doesn't make me dumb, it means I just don't get it. I don't claim to be smarter than anyone here. I am, however, under the assumption that most people don't understand the whole Star Wars saga from some of the "inconsistencies" and "nitpicks" that I've read. Many of these complaints are explained within the movies, and they are widely overlooked. Since nobody catches them, the movies are considered inferior by the majority of bashers. I'm not a gusher, either. I didn't like ROTJ, or TPM. ESB is my favorite SW movie. It is the bashers' opinions that make the entire OT look flawless... but there are just as many flaws in the OT as there are in the PT. So, what do they do? Call George Lucas an idiot, and proceed to insult the intelligence of anyone that liked the PT. I'm not smarter than you, I just have a greater understanding of Lucas' work.
Oh... and why did 'spinach' give Popeye abilities some would consider... unnatural?
I accept your comments of not calling me dumb.
However the fact that I participate in this forum does not mean I Agree with all nitpicks of Chefelf, with some yes, others not really.
I don't like the PT because of the following main reasons:
- Anakin Skywalker (bad actor, no charisma, and silly development, I could relate to Luke, I can't relate to Anakin in the PT he just seems a spoiled teen and I was under the impression Anakin was a "good friend", never saw that)
- Yoda/Palpitine Fighting, so Anti-Starwars, so unreal, so anti was established in the OT for this characters
- Padme dying out for no reason
- yoda going to exile for no reason
- Anakin's Pathetic turn to the Dark Side (yes I know fan boys claim it was a long process, something that it even make's it worst)
- Small universe (yoda pal with Chewie, Father Fett is the source of the clones, Anakin Built C3PO, R2 was Anakin's personal droid etc)
- unbelievable/Forced plot triggers (anakin taking 10 years and some nightmares to return to his mother, which dies almost after is found by Anakin, clones used by jedi not knowing who paid and why they were created)
- Lack of chemistry for the main romance of the movie.
- Losing time with pointless action (pod race, wokkie battle), rush on other more important stuff (all ROTS is rushed)
- Over exaggerated lightsaber battles
- Annoying characters (Jar Jar, The bad guys of the trade federation, Watto, Grivious)
- CGI overdose (making it all so artificial)
You are right, I failed to understand the the work of Lucas in the PT.
Maybe is because I can't see it like you, or maybe is because Lucas did a terrible set of movies.
I was expecting a lot more, and I was expecting them to be worst than the OT. however I never expected them to be an insult
Only reason I can find to call Lucas an Idiot he's because he does no release a remastered theatrical version of the OT as an option to the awful 2004 DVD editions. Other than that, he can do whatever films he wishes.
