The original trilogy had AWESOME character development.

Luke changed from his first line of "But I was going to head over to Toschi's station and pick up some power converters" to becoming a hero of the galaxy, to becoming a Jedi knight under Yoda who shows Luke is still impatient and immature, to getting in over his head and trying to rescue his friends, to finally entering his final maturation stage after learning who his daddy is, to his final bad-ass-ness in Return of the Jedi.

Han Solo goes from killing a Rodian FIRST (proving how bad-ass he is), to joining an adventure and experiencing the Rebellion struggle, to becoming more compassionate and rescuing Luke, to falling in love with Leia, but still sarcastic and bad-ass, to becoming more compassionate and volunteering in Rebel missions.

Darth Vader goes from being a 2-dimensional villain to learning he has a son (and daughter), to continue to be a bad-ass but also moving more back towards the light side at the end of ESB, to turning slightly more forgiving and soft but still mostly menacing to rethinking his evilness and finally sacrificing himself for his son's love.

Perfect character development like that while still having some kick-ass action sequences, lightsaber duels, and battles.

If only the PT was the same, and it could have been even better, in addition to 100% connecting to the OT, with minimal plot holes.

But Han shot first! tongue.gif

It doesn't bother me really to see who shot first, but it's stupid that somebody can miss at that distance.
Sorry, you won't be seeing a smartass sig here. Try with the next poster.

The only OT film with any decent characterization in it at all was ESB. ANH was full of (intentionally, I know) stock character heroes and bad guys, whereas ROTJ just let the characters die off as pale shadows of their former selves. Han comes off the worst, suffering the indignity of going from cool space pirate to boring bureaucrat.

True. Least the OT had a cool space pirate. And you're right about things sliding for the worse.

Han shot. greedo died. end of story. there was only one shot fired...
it your version of the movie shows any differently then i think you may be in the possession of some crappy north american bootleg that you should inform the FBI about.

no, i say they're the same...

you enjoy it for years, and then someone takes it away... and when you get it back it just isn't the same.


...and they they make you pay for it.
