    my buddy has read the books ... there are some great story lines for eps. 7 - 9 that i think if helmed and written right would be fantastic ... remember lucas didn't direct all of the first 3 (only episode 4 - original star wars) ...

    Star Wars never really had great dialogue really, i know, ding ding captain obvious. As for Episodes I-III, I basically changed it all in my head to what Lucas was trying to get at.

    And why mess with the original series? Like one poster stated, that crappy dance scene in the cantina in ROTJ, what is up with that? The original series is amazing, don't mess with it. :(

    As far as episodes 7-9 go, I would vote no on it. If they were real I would go see them all on opening day, but the plot seems more Star Trek to me until 9. Besides, the series ends fantastically as it is. [Minus screwing up the Ewok celebration scene in the 'remastered' :(]

    For the record, Vader was the chosen one. :) He came full circle and defeated the Emperor, bringing balance to the Force.

    it became too hollywood in my opinion ... all the characters were cast with big name stars that just didn't work with the exception of liam neeson (imo) and he died early ...

    he was too obsessed with the effects and was trying to make a spectacle rather then a film with a great story ... in fact - that's the problem with hollywood in general these days anyways ...

    I also agree with the poster who brought up the point that Jedi were suddenly Tarzan beasts. Sure, make Yoda backflip and shit if you must, but I much prefer the 4-6 Yoda, the puppet, the witty sarcastic playful fun one. :) And in 1-3 they really went overboard on the way he talks. Kind of disappointed me.

    As far as the Jedi being crazy athletes, I liked what they did in Episode 1 with the Kenobi-Ginn-Darth Maul fight scenes. I thought that was great. But why change the lightsaber sounds? Again, so much better in the originals.

    And for the hell of it, why did Kenobi have to chase down Grievous on that stupid CGI lizard bastard?

    Cause his stupid CGI vehicle-that-looks-like-an-upright-wheel was in the shop.
    I didn't notice a change in sounds in the lightsabres too much.
    Episode 1 is worth watching just to see Obi-Wan kill Darth Maul.

    the pod race scene was awesome in theaters too... as stupid and gimmicky as all those pilots and the announcer was... i think episode II was definitely the worst tho... i cant think of a single cool moment in that movie... i guess janga fett getting his head chopped off... but he was kindof a bitch anyway... and another thing... why did boba fett get killed in such a cheesy way in ROTJ... hes too cool to get beat by a blind han and then digested by the snarlac

    What did Boba Fett ever do in any movie to earn his 'cool status'? He told the Empire where the Millenium Falcon was, let them do all the work, delivered a block incapable of resisting to a slug, shot lasers at a Jedi who was looking at him (duh) and died.
    Jango was much better. He killed someone, fought two jedis (duh) and lived through at least one of those fights.
    And at least Han was intentionally looking for him when he accidentially broke his jetpack ;)

    well if you consider that all the storm troopers were clones of jango and they were all HORRIBLE shots... thats enough in my book to think he sucks... i guess they were both essentially the same tho... boba just seemed like more of an individual, rebel type

    He was in the good films. That's enough.:p
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Ah, but Boba was raised (at least until he looked 10 or something) by Jango, all the Stormtroopers went to Stormtrooper academy.

    This is true.
    I didn't mind the first three movies. I can see their faults, obviously, but I can watch them.
    3 was much better than 1 and 2.

    the only strength of 3 was its close ties to 4-6... atleast thats why i enjoyed it... other than that id say it was no better than 2... atleast it wasnt as romantic tho... and count dooku was dead quickly... i just dont think jedi could stand the intense heat of a volcano... theyre not gorons and they dont have the fire tunic :D

    They're doing the same thing for Ghostbusters. Script is being written by akroyd and the characters are all going to be cast by the actors who played them. It sounds pretty fucking awesome. Oh, and there will by a huge marshmallow man.

    Yeah but the Ghostbusters game really is considered the sequel.
    The Force Unleashed I'm pretty sure is just considered another Star Wars game.

    Although I guess if it is 'shedding light' on this or that, it's just an unofficial acceptance...
