  1. Missing reason to hate Ep1: "...you trained me..."

    Posted 31 May 2005

    This is my first day here, so forgive me if this has been done to death, but...

    Seriously, who the hell is this Qui-Gon guy?

    After all, Obi-Wan does talk to Yoda point blank about difficult Jedi, asking Yoda, "Was I any different when you trained me?"

    Which just reinforces the fact that George Lucas couldn't be bothered to spend 7 HOURS of his life to re-watch his own movies in order to get the simplest of facts right.

    It's bad enough when the original trilogy has moments like the three ghosts and expects me to believe that Obi-Wan's original costume is some kind of Jedi costume. Yeah, way to not draw attention to yourself! Then again, almost every other creature on Tatooine wears the same thing, so I guess every Jawa is also a Jedi... There were some real brain-benders in the original Trilogy, but come on, how hard is it to watch the original trilogy and write down every line that logic demands you not conflict?

    On top of everything else... does Qui-Gon serve ANY purpose that justifies this glaring conflict with the original trilogy? Might we not actually get MORE out of the first movie if Yoda had just completed his training of Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan's first duties brought him into contact with Anakin?

    Oh well... guess I'll just have to write my OWN prequels, since Goerge ruined his.



    And on the topic of botched prequels... a ranting spoiler:



    PS. .. I hope this makes ChefElf's reasons to hate Episode III... Luke makes a very very VERY big point of asking Leia about memories of her REAL mother. And she makes no puzzled reply, she knows eEXACTLY what Luke means, and she answers that her REAL mother died when Leia was very young. Episode III was a vast improvement over the first two, don't get me wrong, but between the deaths of the Jedi (why don't they disappear like Obi-Wan and Yoda?) and that extra crap that seemed to take a half hour, with Padme giving birth, and naming the kids, and delivering the babies to Owen and Beru, and this junk about teaching Obi-Wan how to be "immortal" (it's called being a ghost, otherwise Palpatine made it very clear that the Sith can save the lives of others but not their own, so theoretically Anakin shouldn't be standing with Obi-Wan and Yoda at the end), and then the awful Padme funeral... so much good will I had been feeling toward the movie got shot to hell!
