STAR WARS -- When did you stop caring? — Page 2

I confess, I haven’t enjoyed the last two STAR WARS movies as much as I did the first trilogy. I think the knowing what is going happen (in a vague way) kind of ruins the story for me. I also really could have lived with out Jar-Jar Binks. Still, I will see the last movie at some point. I just don’t know if I will go to the theater to see if or wait until it’s released to DVD. The last one was so loud that my head ached for about an hour after I left the show. Special Effects are GREAT--to a point.

When it became all too clear that Lucas has been living in an ivory tower waaaay too long. He can't communicate with actors, clearly, and the dialogue doesn't sound the way anyone would speak anywhere. Never been a CRAZY Star Wars fan, but I do love the Empire Strikes Back...one of the great science fiction films ever....and Lucas didn't do the script (Lawrence Kasdan did) or the direction (Irvin Kirshner)....the new film? I'll ignore it.

I've never cared. In fact, I've never even seen these films. Not a one. I know, I'm a bad movie buff.

Whe the original 3 ended. It was done as far as I cared.

i didn't ever care. i think i saw half of episode one, and that's it.

I missed this post the first time around:

As a seven year-old when the first film originally released, I can say that no other film since then has brought as much excitement and entertainment as Star Wars. It was truly a magical experience for me. I remember the lines around the block, waiting three hours to see the film and the burst of applause at the end of the film. I don't think anything released in theatres since then has come close to matching the thrill of the release of the first Star Wars film. It was monumental and unforgettable. I truly loved the original trilogy, but have been disappointed in the prequels, especially in the casting. One of the things that made the original trilogy so special was that none of the stars were well-known, which stamped the originality of the characters who were not clouded with preexisting roles or celebrity status. In that film, the actors truly were the characters and the two were inseparable. The new trilogy's biggest flaws were putting "names" into the film which detracts from the fantasy of the fictional world.

never i'm so ciked ohhhhhhhhhhhh may 17th

Okay, I admit it. I love 'em. I've been obsessed since 1977! My absolute favorite is the Empire Strikes Back, but I would watch Harrison Ford read the phone book! Episodes 1 and 2 have not been up to the standards of 4, 5, and 6 (don't even mention Jar Jar Binks), but I hold great hope for Revenge of the Sith. No matter what the reviews say, I will probably be there on opening day with my two oldest kids--yes I have infected them too. My only regret is that the single screen theater with the HUGE panoramic screen where I saw the other 5 episodes has now closed, so we are stuck with the multiplex.

Waiting for May 19.

Please don't throw me off the board!

Even though I've been disappointed by the 2 most recent ones, I'm still a fan, and will see the new one in the theaters.

Prequels/Jar Jar <-------when I stopped caring.

Oh, and the NSYNC cameo rumor then turned me off a little more.

---

I stopped caring about the series three-quarters of the way into Star Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace.

After seeing Ep. 1.

Give me the originals, any day.
