It's not possible for a star wars movie to not look 'rad' Now, if a story emerges that's as fun to watch as Episode V or VI ....

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the Star Wars movie series would be better served if Lucas turned over control of the filmmaking to one of the other heavy hitters in the film industry?

It's not the directing that's the problem. The space battles, lightsaber duels, lighting, viewpoint, and locations are just as good if not much better than they have ever been in a Star Wars movie.

It's the writing/story focus that is pissing fans off.

I can agree with that. However, I think that it was a bad directing decision to cast Christian Haydensen (I'm sure I mispelled his name) as Anakin Skywalker.

Back to the writing...
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the Star Wars franchise have some really well written novels and stories behind it. I know that the story behind KOTOR 1 was better than any Star Wars movie I have ever seen.

Lucas must be writing the story himself?

gonna get flamed but : don't you think that SW1,2 are lightyears away from the brilliance of the old Star Wars movies ? Just look at that abomination of nature called Jar-Jar-something !!! And in SW2 ( the latest one ) : mr. anakin-the-young-jedi-wannabe's and that princess-forgot-her-name's romance is like watching some soap serie ( THE IDIOTIC SCRIPTS and special effects which could have been good but they should not be the priority. I think that good special effects are the ones that people don't even notice. That's something that is hard to achieve but they failed totally. )

I have low expectations for SW3 ( speaking as a fan of the OLD SW films )
Lucas for god's sake, RETIRE ALREADY !

I would agree that Phantom Menace and Send In The Clones are inferior in some ways, but it could be argued quite convincingly that they are far superior in other ways. It rather depends on what you want out of the films, your opinion on plot/action balance, whether or not you approve of light relief etc etc ad infinitum.

I, personally, will publically state that I don't rate any of the Star Wars films - there, how's that for flamebait?

My problem is that I was a Sci-Fi fan way before I encountered Star Wars, so I'd already seen so many films that tower over Star Wars in many ways - The Forbidden Planet, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Earth Versus The Flying Saucers, The Man Who Fell To Earth etc. I'm an old-school fan who prefers to see a single plotline tackled extremely well, than a long rambling epic handled so-so.

uh... right

it's too bad they didn't had any super special effects that days. I agree, the storyline in 4,5 and 6 are way better. but the special effects and fighting scenes are better in I and II.

I do not fully agree with you, Mr Dobbie. IMO, Star Wars is the best Space movie ever and is really close after The Godfather Triology. I do have to say I'm talking about Episode 4, 5 and 6 only. Episode 1 and 2 are what I call enjoyable. I'm a Star Wars fan and strangely I think even here the books rule. Although I have read them only after seeing every SW movie.

Now an expl. why I said 'not fully': I don't know any of those movies you enlisted here.

@|comy|: There is something to look forward to in Episode 3. Anakin screaming as he sinks into the lava.

i'd love to see that but i'd mostly like to see his wife-the queen die in a painful and suffering death while he is screaming, tied up in a wall, unable to do anything, watching from very, VERY close


i hope that happens
