Where Lucas got Muppet happy as Andy C pointed out, he went CG crazy in the prequels.   The kicker is, it really isn't even good CG.  If you look at Yoda in CG, he doesn't hold a candle to puppet Yoda of Empire.  


Heck, he went CG crazy in the 'Special' editions.

But, I for one liked Jedi, quite a bit. 1, 2, & 3 I really hate though, but the original trilogy in their original form I like quite a bit.

Love: Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Light-sabers, the whole "force" thing, all the space-craft, the music, Chewie, hell even the goddamn ewoks!

Hate: Everything from the prequel trilogy (barring Darth Maul....died waaay too soon), I hate R2-D2 & C3PO....AND Yoda! I have since I was a small child.

It's mainly all the new stuff. It should have been left as the phenomenom of it's time, not whored on by Lucas for the braindead children of today and money he doesn't need. I still feel though, that the original trilogy is vital viewing for all children....great story-telling, fantasy and imagination.  Thumbup

Well, as the great Jedi Master Yogurt says, it's all about "Moichandise".

The fate of the last door to door salesmen

I actually liked the original series. But Its been ages since I've seen it.

 I caught a glimpse of the clone wars dialogue between Anakin and the girl he was courting (Padme?) and that 5 mins was enough for me to not watch the rest of the new ones. So is the rest of the dialogue that bad?

Well, here's an example I remember (not verbatim), and I'll try to be respectful. Queen Amidala hooks up with Anakin and apparently in this galaxy far, far away, it's 1950 because married women just sit around their apartments all day fretting even if they were powerful queens on their own planets. You know that Anakin is supposed to somehow be evolving from Jedi Knight to Darth Vader. So what does that evolution consist of? One day in the apartment Padme confronts him: Padme: "You're changing. You're... EVIL." Anakin: "ARRRR". And that's it. We've now dealt with how Anakin went from Good to EVIL.

OK, he didn't say ARRR. He probably said some actual words. But that was basically the entire scene.

I don't think Lucas has any concept of characters and emotions. These are action figures he just has to have execute a series of plot points he's decided. It makes for dull stuff and I don't understand why he didn't have actual writers work on this stuff. Good writers could really have made for some more lasting movies. Good sci-fi writers might have made some great movies.

Thanks for the info, I'm thinking I'll pass on the prequel trilogy.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
