But my favorite from the DV is from ANH:
"We meet again at last.... the last time we met, I was but the learner, now I am the master."
(yes I am a SW geek at heart)

| 3. Episode 2 really sucked imho |
|
too much romance, not enough battles. the destruction of the death star in episode 4 is an epic on screen battle though.

| 13. I like Portman, but hate her in these SW films |
|
She's like a wooden figure. I was not convinced in any way that she loved anakin. And the kid playing anakin sucks even worse.

is that Clone Wars didn't suck THAT bad, did it?
Although, I gotta disagree with Jukes....Portman was lame. She played her character exactly the same way (as in phantom), but it was supposed to be 10 years later. She's a former queen and a kick ass Senator but she's totally bland. Come on, Nat, STEP IT UP!

| 10. Empire Strikes Back - Great Music Also |
|
Episode I was just horrible. Maybe if I had been a five year old, I would have liked it. That movie should have carried a warning for adults to avoid it.

| 12. You ought to include the Phantom Edit |
|
As it was a real improvement over the theatrical release, IMHO.
As for my vote - Empire far and away. But that also is IMHO.

| 14. Wow, the Ewoks really killed Return of the Jedi, didn't they? |
|
I think it WOULD have been the best of the Star Wars movies EXCEPT for the Ewoks.

Finally someone agrees with me. They were the worst. Talk about trying to sell some action figures!
Hey, I thought Hayden was good in Clones--the grumpiest 19-year old ever.
one more thing, what the DVD edit of Phamtom like? Less Jar Jar?

| 16. I ain;t the only one who agrees with you |
|
look at the poll results.
NOT ONE VOTE for "Return".
I would guess at least some of that is attributable to the Ewoks Problem.

| 17. You, sir, have less class than even I imagined - the Ewoks were relatives |
|
of the Wookie - you fool. They were integral to the fullfillment of prophecy. How else was the chrystal shard to be brought back and the skeksies and mystics to come back as one?Geez!

The stormtroopers had laser blasters/canons, walkers and armor...but of course, that's no match for the Ewoks, cause they can throw ROCKS! BFD!

been over run by the dark lord Sauron were it not for the Ewoks - they singlehandedly subdued the traitor Saruman!

You're forgetting the valuable contributions of Flash Gordon. I mean, if he and Dale Arden hadn't of pull excalibur from the stone, Kate Hudson would never have been traded to Humble Pie!
You're the one who is mixed up.

can't help it. Classic Sat afternoon movie fare.
I did like Episode I. But Clones is awful -except for the factory scene. George should be embarrassed.

| 28. Let's see - the ersatz MTV love scene |
|
Anakin's woodenness. Obi Wan's banal or no dialogue. Actually a lot of the dialogue left a lot to be desired IMO
Hmm
I'll have to think some more. And usually, I am very forgiving of movies.
