I believe the source of this nonsense is the fact that most of the creative team Lucas had for the Prequels consisted kids who grew up thinking Lucas is God. Truly, from the behind the scenes footage it seems his old crew have become 'yes men" and the new crew are disciples who wouldn't dare question a scene for fear of Lord Lucas' holy wrath. He probably believes it himself and would smite them with the force should they be so brazen as to disagree with his all-knowingness.

Some things I hate about crapisode one that didn't appear in your list are:

The Title wasn't just stupid, it just didnt apply...Even if WE DIDN'T already know that Palpatine was going to be the Emperor, he was anything but a 'phantom" menace, as he appears in the first few minutes of the film, clearly directing the crap that I still don't know what has to do with conquering the galaxy..We could have been left in the dark as to the federations actions for a while, or lead to believe that maul was behind it, and suspect he might be palpatines mentor, or that the senator wasn't yet evil, but might become so.....give us a LITTLE suspense, JEEEZ.

Okay, it is obvious he uses Force Stealth or something to hide to fact that he is the DARK LORD of THE SITH, and he is very powerful and must almost glow with the force if he didn't hide it so...But why, why, -tell me why- would he catch a ride to Naboo at the end of the movie on a "bus" filled
with THE ENTIRE JEDI COUNCIL..isn't that cozy? I woulda caught my own ride if I were trying to
be secretive as to my OVERWHELMING evilness....

Ah, I had more... but I have stayed up too late as it is Laughing along Cheflef's list. That rubber greedo mask on Warwick Davis (the short guy) just chaps my @ss in so many ways..all those effects in this movie and you affront my intelligence with a burlap tunic and a rubber greedo mask?
Was that character a last minute idea? That's the kind of crap you hide in the background as filler with other crap costumes so we won't really notice..BUT YOU GAVE HIM LINES so I CAN'T IGNORE HIM "ooopa kadoopa, Annie, tee-hee-hee" -Where did I put the Tylenol?

And I won't get started on the SPECIAL ED-itions...Yes I will, How DARE you remove things from the movie that WE the ones who saw your good movies dozens of times and bought your toys, and anything with Star-Wars plastered on it, and MADE YOU RICH, how DARE you remove scenes we love, songs like Lapti Nek, and the Ewok song...and replace them with some crap song and a digital
dance by the Honeycomb cereal monster???

It pains me that what's done done can't be un-done, and I hope that if 7,8,9 ever get made he will just hand it over to Peter Jackson, or someone who can still do a fantasy with some intelligence and dignity.

yes, we've heard it.

[Despondent]

Good, Good. Let the Hate flow.

I want to hear it again.

[Revan-47]

Yes, i can feel your anger....every second that passes you make yourself more my servant.

[Otal Nimrodi]

I am glad to welcome you to the forum. I completely agree with you.

[barend]

Si' it's Pepe', okay?

I like the Muppets, and I like puppet Yoda. Some of what the Henson guys pull off is more magical
than those filthy, nasty, digital effects that jade us all.

Depends what forum you're on.

in regards to Stray nerf "The Force is strong with this one"

[barend]

i would have prefered Pepe & Seymore to Jar Jar.

[KurganX]

Fantastic! - Dr. Who

The part about the Honey Combe Cereal Monster made me burst out laughing. I'm sure the neighbors heard.. (and it's 2am!) *tears*

Speaking of Henson magic has anyone every seen the Dark Crystal? Guess who was involved in that.

None other than Gary Kurtz....

[Zatoichi]

I had heard of that somewheres before. Is that an older film or a newer one?

Now that you bring it up, why didn't Lucas tact on the best director of any Star Wars film to date? Would it be because the prequels would have actually been good, that someone would tell Lucas N O, or both?

[barend]

older, and it's cooler.

[Stray nerf]

Yes I own The Dark Crystal. I may not be a kid, but I grew up with the muppets.
Anyone who likes the muppets should see these......

Henson's Non-muppet films I own:
-The Dark Crystal ..(Crystal Method has a song including the Intro to this film)
"Another world...another time..the world was green and good, until the crystal cracked."
-Jim Henson's "The Storyteller"-A collection of very old and muppetized folktales. No
standard muppet characters appear in it. It is quite surreal.
-The Labyrinth.. Jennifer Connely tormented by puppets and David Bowie...

I also have:
-Muppets Take Manhattan
-Muppet Christmas Carol (Michael Caine-great job)
-Muppet Treasure Island (one of the best)
-Muppets from Space (Pepe's first film)

The muppet films never crap on you like the PT does.
