STAR WARS -- When did you stop caring?

when they hired haden christianwhatshisname to play Darth Vader....white boy can't act...ugh. That scene where he was all like "someday I will be the most powerful jedi" made me actually shudder. UGH!!

About the time I discovered other boys

After I saw the first one like 15 years ago. I don't see the appeal.

---

I liked the original ones. I was in third or fourth grade when the last one came out. By the time the preguels were here, I was an adult and had beter things on my mind/

I still care. A bit. I enjoy them for what their worth, but I'm by no means a die hard fan.

I look at SW as two seperate series. Original ones were pure genius. The prequels are enteraining if nothing else. Yes the script sucks though, makes parts painful to watch.

I think Hayden hasn't gotten a good role really. He deserves better than SW to show off what he can do. People were accusing Natalie Portman of bad acting, but it's just the SW script, she's incredible.

Cats -

you beat me to it.

Half way through the press screening of Return of the Jedi. It might have been the Ewoks. The happy family circle at the end was the final nail.

I've never even seen the two remakes.

---

I NEVER stopped caring!!!!

And Hayden is actually a good actor--see Life As a House and that recent one he did set at a newspaper.

---

Speaking of, there's a new episode coming out in May...Revenge of the Sith...sry, I'm uber-tired, and didn't realize if anyone already mentioned this. I still haven't seen a single episode of Star Wars--I only know this b/c I made a calander for my Star Wars-obsessed friend in one of my classes.

Still care a lot and cannot wait to see Episode Three.

I agree that Episode One and Two didn't live up to the old movies (although I enjoyed them a lot as I saw them for what they were - a necessary introduction), Episode Three promises to be an excellent movie.

Both Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman are wondeful actors, please don't just judge them on their work in Star Wars. All actors involved have expressed their concern about how they had to portray their characters in previous Episodes.

As jrb_actor mentioned, if anyone cares to find out what an amazing actor Hayden Christensen is should check out Life As A House and Shattered Glass.

And for anyone who can't even keep track of the Episodes (and to our Namo who calls the new movies remakes)...
Episode 4, 5 and 6 were the original movies (the famous trilogy) and released in the 70s. They started off with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker etc.
Episode 1 (as the name suggests) starts from the very beginning (before the old episodes) with Anakin Skywalker (Luke's dad) as a little boy and Obi Wan as a young man, Episode Two is set 10 years later and now Episode Three explains how Anakin is seduced by the the dark side of the force and eventually becomes Darth Vader. Easy, right?

So YES, I still care a lot (Jose you asked for it ) and I know where I will be on May 19th.

Well, I've never really been into Sci-Fi movies...at all, but I watch those Episode 1 movies with my brother, only good part of it was Ewan McGregor (damn the beard!)

I'd like to second that that Hayden guy could not act, I'm sure in other movies, but Star Wars..not so much...


I'd much rather watch Chicago

::nods:: QM, that's sort of what I meant, meaning Star Wars just never works out for me
