December 18th can't come fast enough. I have to wash the filth of episodes 1-3 from my mind. Actually that is a lie. I love the originals so much I could only choke through episode 1 and part of episode 2. Here is what you do. Watch the first series of movies in Machete Order. That order is 4,5,2,3, and 6. Search for Star Wars Machete Order if you want to know more. This should not only remove most of the bad taste of Ep. 1, but also retell the story in a more enjoyable way. |

After seeing the original way back when it first came out as a seven year old, I've been fucking hooked and hooked deep. Prequels? What prequels? To my mind there have only been three Star Wars.......and it looks like soon there will be a fourth

The several minutes of footage I saw backed Williams up, as much as any several minutes from any movie could. Case in point: At the effects session, Abrams was demonstrating his commitment to the more retro, more tactile filmmaking Kasdan had talked about. One scene featured an alien creature that abruptly pops up out of the desert landscape with glowing, flashlight eyes that make it look like a distant cousin to the Jawas of A New Hope. Abrams later called it “a classic, old-school seesaw puppet. We just buried it in the sand, and Neal Scanlan, the creature guy, pushed down on one side and the thing came up on the other side.” At the session, the scene, with the alien suddenly sticking its head over a dune, got a big laugh. Some perfectionist suggested a few digital polishes, but Abrams was wary. “It’s so old-school and crazy,” he said. “We could improve this thing, but at some point do we lose the wonderful preposterousness?” Excellent. |

From the previously linked Vanity Fair article : But here is something I can disclose, which I suspect fans—a majority of them, anyway—will find most heartening of all: at one point during the effects review, while watching a sequence with spaceships flying low over a desert planet, Abrams asked to pause the scene. With a light pen, he drew a little squiggle on a sand dune. "I have a thought about putting Jar Jar Binks’s bones in the desert there,” he said. Everyone laughed. Abrams laughed, too, but insisted, "I’m serious!” He pointed out that the shot zips by in a second, if that. "Only three people will notice,” he said, "but they’ll love it.”    |

For all the people recommending Machete order: NO
The whole reason for that, is an attempt to shoehorn shit, into an otherwise good sandwich. It's an attempt to make it somewhat palatable. Guess what? You're just eating shit, but with more mustard on it. It's still a shit sandwich. Dont watch any of the 1-3. The literally add NOTHING to 4-6, but actively take away from 4-6. Retarded explanations, contradictory information, and in general just ruin any of the "mystic" or the past that is only referenced in 4-6. So how about just eating that nice tasty sandwich of 4-6, instead of saying "well, I'll only putt a little bit of shit in it" by trying to incorporate the 1st 3 movies. Stop suggesting Machete, stop suggesting any variants of it. Just stop suggesting 1-3, all together. |

You have to understand what that fallacy means, in order to use it correctly... Since I wasnt suggesting that only true star wars fans are this that or the other... no, it's not a no true scotsman. I'm saying the 1-3 are garbage and arent needed to explain anything in 4-6. The simple fact that 4-6 were made decades before 1-3, proves that. 1-3 are universally regarded as shit. 4-6 are universally regarded as great. Machete is an attempt to lessen the shit differential if watching them all. Here's a novel idea: Just dont watch the shit ones. They contribute nothing and actively detract from the good ones. It's really that simple. |

Attack of the Clones was an interesting movie, but it lacked focus. The love story was trash and Aniken's dialog was primarily petulant pouting. However Obi-wan's detective work was at least somewhat engaging. Revenge of the Sith (revenge for what, exactly?) was also palatable, with the revelation of Sidious/Palpatine's background plots, the final conversion of Aniken to Vader, the battle between Yoda and Palpatine was engaging. I find this movie has one line that is incredibly relevant to today's politics; "So this is how liberty dies, to thunderous applause." |

I am of the same mind as you, MCSquared, though I'd also point out that their are fan edits of the prequels that make them superb movies. (Revenge of the Sith was titled for the Sith achieving vengeance for their defeat 1,000 years before the events of the movies.) |
