When I was a kid, the Star wars movies where my all time favorites.
I saw Star wars in 77 when I was 3, and it was my favorite movie, I used to watch it after we got a VCR like once a day during the summer.
I had all the toys, and my friends and I played with the action figures more then any other toys. (maybe Lego's could have competed)
When Jedi came out, I remember standing in line at the movies, for hours, lol and the line wrapped around the building.
I loved this stuff, Star wars was a huge part of my childhood, yet I still enjoyed them as I got older. I have them all on tape.
I have come to loath George Lucas though. This loathing is tainting my feelings about the first three movies.
It started with Episode one, and his pandering to little kids, the whole movie was crap, I think maybe 20 minutes of it was worth watching. The whole aniken skywalker thing was terrible? Who wants to watch a movie about a dorky little kid? He aimed the movie at little kids, whom for the most part do not know or care what star wars is! He real fans are my generation and older, the people who grew up on this stuff, and he knifed us all in the guts with this little dork, and Jar jar. I own some bad DVDs, like Joe dirt, but I will not own episode one.
Then move onto episode two, a better movie yes, but still a kids movie. Compared with the LOTR series these movies are jokes.
I have also heard that Movies like the Indiana Jones series are being delayed to DVD because Lucas and Spielberg want to mess with them... That pisses me off.. I want to watch Dr. Jones get into trouble with those damn Nazi's again, and I hate having to do it on VHS, bastards!!
Why has Lucas betrayed those who liked Star wars, so he could pander to six year olds? Why oh why does he not understand why everyone hates Jar Jar? WTF?
Why has he made Star wars a Joke, and soiled the old good movies?
Is it just me who feels this way?
