A REALLY controversial thread

The best bit is when Obi Wan says "That's no Keith Moon".

I've got loads of Tolkiens.

I got them from an old fruit machine.

Wasn't there a time when you used Tolkiens to ride the tube?

Ok, I have to say it out loud, it's been eating me inside.
I think Star Wars sucks.
Tolkien did it better in print 50 years before.
There, I've said it.

SO sorry, Wookiee. It was nothing personal.
Chewbacca was the best thing in it   :/

Yeah but even that fact couldn't rescue the transparently puerile, goodie vs baddie excuse of a concept, roight?

A bit like all that Harry Potter drudgery, it's great for the kids and that, but if you take it into adulthood it might be time to take a serious look at yourself.

Just sayin'

Anyway that's just a thought that came to me whilst watching my Barney DVD boxed set.

........but yes, I agree Jonbouy.

my problem is that it has almost become a religion and a case of 'the emperor's new clothes'.
It's almost a sin to say you don't like it amongst some people.

I guess I have a force field around me that repels that kind of numpty.

that's probably easier your side of the pond :)

I would imagine it is.

This sounds exactly like the music generation issue we had in that other thread.  When the original Star Wars movie came out it was head and shoulders above any science fiction flick that was around in terms of special effects and popular interest (which, if you read my post in that other thread, means the plot had to be a bit simplistic).  Taken from that time period, it would be hard to beat.  Unfortunately, Lucas buttered that slice of bread for too long and has become more of an example for Backwoods' point of a pop star trying to be relevant after they're old.

Sure, there was always a plan for nine movies done as three trilogies, and it's pretty amazing that he was able to actually finish two of the trilogies, but the largest impact would have been if they could have come out much closer to each other timewise.  That said, I still know several people that will be buying the 3D set even though they already have the original in 8mm, the full VHS set, the original DVD versions and the remastered DVD's.

Yes indeed.
I must visit the thread about old farts trying to be cool - I may get some pointers :)

I'm just happy being an old fart until being an old fart IS the new cool.

If it ever happens I'll be ready.
