Title: Star Wars fans? Original Trilogy vs Prequel Trilogy
Post by: klaw239 on July 02, 2012, 07:41 am
Any thoughts? Takers on this topic?

I think the prequels sucked ass to be honest. All but qui-gon jin and darth maul and lucas  killed them both off the first movie and gave us the sonic the hedgehog yoda and  count dooku.

My god   ten minutes of the empire strikes back was better than all three preqeul films combined

The prequels made me cherish my childhood that much more, seeing parts IV-VI in theaters was seriously just magical back in the day. Star Wars was everywhere! I had a lot in common with Eric Forman from That 70's Show, haha! Seeing the new ones was just disappointing and totally not worth the money though. But I do agree that Darth Maul was a badass at least. ;D

I know what you mean.  I waited so many years for the   nre trilogy and can remember the build up and when I heard that anakin was going to be 9 yrs old I was like what? you got to be kidding.  But believe it or not out of the new ones   the phantom menace was my favorite just cause of qui-gon and  darth maul.  attack of the clones make me gag to just  look at.

Emoire Strikes back and star trek 2 the wrath of khan to me  are two of my all time favorite films

I probably sound like an old man but I miss the golden days when they made most of the effects rather than resorting to shitty CGI for the entirety of the film. :'(

I am guessing we are the same age then or close abouts. I hate all these cgi shit.  Jabba looked soo much more real in the 1983 version than he did in these dumb ass   changes lucas keeps making  to the originals with cgi.  The man is nuts.

Hell Disneys the black hole was a much better film than the  new star wars prequels. Fuck even the last starfighter.

what a lot of people dont understnd though is Lucas  only directed and  co-wrote the first star wars A New hope. I always just called it star wars and his wife marcia  was the editor and di  a lot of the screenplay.  He was not involved with the empire strikes back  hardly at all.  Laweernece kasdan wote the screenplay. the same guy who wrote raiders of the lost arc  and  irvin kershner directed it.  and gary kurtz produced it. Kurts and kasdan and kernsher were the true geniuses behind  empire.

All of Lucas good films he  directed and helped write was when kurts was his right hand man and lawenrece kasdan and marcia lucas was there to help him.  thx, american grafatti, star wars, empire strikes back, raiders of the lost arc.  Soon as kurts  left  marcia left him and lucas did it all on his own like he did with the new ones they SUCKED. he wrote directed  all three new one with no help from any talanted people and they all sucked,

I've seen some pretty cool documentaries about that, it's pretty cool learning about what goes on behind the films and whatnot. I still have most of my action figures from when I was little, they bring back such good memories. ^-^ Geez, I'm feeling to nostalgic....think I might have to watch the trilogy again tomorrow. Come to think of it, I'm surprised I've never tripped to Star Wars before....I'm almost positive I'll cry if I watch them again on shrooms. :'(

I'm an OG all the way.

As nice as it was to see Natalie Portman, the original is hands down better.
