Talk sense, man. Only Empire is a remotely decent movie - Star Wars was novel but crappy, Empire was good, Return was a big budget, low-brow remake of Star Wars with any charm sucked out of the script and fucking Ewoks.
Face it - the Star Wars series has been almost entirely crap with Empire stuck in the middle putting a rosy glow on the first movie and allowing us all to hope that any sequel might be as good, though none of them ever have been.

I won't say that they were the worst movies ever, they weren't. I'm a scifi fan and it's decent scifi. I won't however pretend they are something that they are not, and they are not fantastic.
In my humble opinion, they should have made the new movies (episode 1, 2) for adults rather then kids like the old ones. The kids that watched the old one and loved them growing up are all grown up now.

Omega man, Soylent green, Planet of the apes, Buck Rogers, etc . . . were all about the folly of man and our path to self destruction.
Star Wars proved that even though Sci-Fi was expensive, it could make big dollars. Look at some of the sci-fi that came out in the next 10 years. some Realy Good Stuff. also a lot of crap, but that is to be expected.
Star Wars was pretty much anything but a Space Western. Closer to a martial arts movie, or Space fantasy. There was no expansion(Star Trek) involved with Star Wars, no wagon train(Battle Star).

Have you watched the first three recently? I like the new movies, and I remember seeing the first ones as a kid, then again as an adult. I also realized upon re-seeing them as an adult that the dialogue and acting and the story in the first three weren't so hot, either. But they were fun movies.
I like the new movies because I try to watch them as a child would, before I grew up and became cynical and bitter, and I really enjoy them. I didn't realize when I was watching the movies as a child that it was really Anakin's story, and I think the new movies are doing a good job of telling the earlier story of Anakin, even if I would change some things in some places.
I especially enjoy the "Palpatine's rise to power pretending to be nice while he's really a mean nasty Sith Lord" plot, and how he manipulates everyone into doing what he wants. And how the Jedi can't tell he's a Sith lord. In fact, this plot point is apparently subtle enough that I remember going onto theforce.net after TPM came out and reading the boards where people were discussing whether or not Palpy==Sidious or not, and to this day, if you google "palpatine sidious" you will see lots of discussions on this issue. If people miss this point from the movies, then it's not surprising that so many people think the new movies are crap. (It's also interesting to me that without the existence of movies 4, 5, and 6 there actually could be a question about their relationship because you wouldn't know where the story is going...but that's clearly not the case here.)
Oh well, but the movie industry still sucks so I won't be able to see the third till it comes out on TV.

I Was 20 when the first film came out so I had about the viewpoint as many posters have for the newer films. The Originals were campy space Operas that had every gimik from 1930s and 1940s Serials and B Movies redone done with what was state of the art effects at the time. They made for a fun night of escapist entertainment, but were never anything near good Sci-Fi. The biggest fault of the prequeals is they try take themselves too damn serious and fail at it instead of being the fun campy space flicks the older movies were.

It's such a shame. I remember when Lucas announced he was making the original three - back when, 1998? I thought it was going to be Eps IV - VI, but with awesome SFX.
Instead, he candied and kiddied them down too much. Some people get edgier and better with age - Lucas, unfortunately, pretty much lost it. There are still flashes of brilliance, but the feel of the movies has been lost.
I guess you could say if Lucas brought SFX to the mainstream with his original three movies, he over-commercialised it with the last three. Traditional space movies have almost fallen from favour since Ep I. On the other hand, these past few years haven't been a complete loss [myway.com] as far as cool movie genres and odysseys go.

I worked on a short film with several guys from ILM, and they confirm the ex-wife theory (before I'd even heard of it). She was apparently the driving force behind the quality of those films (and the divorce itself had no small part to play in the dark qualities of Indy 2, but you can hear that from Lucas himself on the DVD).
Don't forget the creative input of Kasdan on Empire, either. Lucas even let someone else direct the feature, which I think we all wish he would have done for the new ones.

That's what I'm thinking too. I posted some thoughts about it before [slashdot.org]:
Plus, I think I was speculation on theforce.net a few years ago that maybe Senator/Chancellor Palpatine and Darth Sidious are not the same person but rather are clones of each other.
Midi- who??? (Score:4, Interesting)
The midicholorians apparently represent a biological way of quantifying someone's force potential. Beyond this, they are also intrenched into the Jedi religion itself. A person created by the midicholorians could be viewed as both a biological act (i.e. a virus causing impregnation) and a spiritual act (the Force "willing" someone into being). We have both the divine and mundane aspects involved - Obi Wan confirms the Anakin's midicholorian count at the behest of Qui-Gon's belief that Anakin's birth is the fulfillment of prophecy.
Here, again, we see how "the truths we cling to depend on our point of view", and also how "our focus determines our reality". Anakin was brought up to believe he was the "chosen one" who will "bring balance". What these terms mean, we can only conjecture. By joining the Dark side, he does bring balance by reducing the number of Jedi to exactly the number of Sith; master and apprentice. You can also argue that balance is returned when Palpatine/Sidious is ultimately destroyed by Anakin's sacrifice.
Anakin's lineage has been kept a mystery, and perhaps for good reason. I personally believe that Shmi Skywalker knew more about Anakin's conception than she told Qui-gon. While I don't doubt that "there was no father", I would hardly believe that it was the "will of the Force" alone that caused it.
One thing we know about the Sith is they *love* playing gods. How Darth Sidious and Darth Tyrannus work both sides of the war to their own means is, imho, nothing short of brilliant storytelling; a fact that is overlooked far to often on /. We'd much rather complain about Anakin's "sand dialog", but I digress...
Sidious has already shown his willing to create abomination. His creation of the Clone Army is evident of this; tampering with life itself. So here's the real rub: Since midicholorians are a quantifiable biological entity, and an apparent physical link to the spiritual aspects of the Force, it only makes sense that Sidious would use this fact to his advantage. My theory is that Anakin's creation is part of a diabolical Sith experiment. Find some poor slave girl in the ass-end of the galaxy, load her up with Midicholorians, and wait. The child created will be the most Force - sensitive being in existance. Since he is outside of the reach of the Republic, his early impressions and experiences will be out of the control of the Jedi. By the time he becomes a Padawan, it's already too late to change these impressions. Add on the fact that once his training does begin, he's considered by many to be devine: The Morning Star who is soon to fall from grace.
This is just my theory, of course. But Lucas has promised that Anakin's origins will be revealed in the next film. It may very well be that the so fan-reviled Midicholorians, are in fact, the most important element in the entire Trilogy.

Has anybody ever tried a Phantom Edit of the second film? I might give it a shot; although, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'd only be left with about 50 minutes of footage after all the chops necessary in that monster of a mistake! I'd chop whole battles, like that idiot thing with Yoda and whoever the hell that guy was with the bent saber. What the heck was that scene even there for? Too bad it's not possible to change Anakin from a weenie girli-boy into an actual figure of threat and power.
Hmm. . . Maybe I'd only be left with 30 minutes. Still, it's amazing what can be done with a pair of scissors. The Phantom Edit of the first film was an amazing tribute to the power of good editing!
Perhaps if one were to combine the 'Attack of the Clones' with the upcoming film, there will be enough material to hybridize into a whole feature.

Ep5: good! somebody else writes and directs (take the hint please)
Ep6: Ok film, somebody else directs. bad dialogue is back thanks to georgey boy working on the screenplay again. story rear ended for commerical gain by adding the ewoks
Ep1: Atrocious. Hes back writing on his own and DIRECTING. Dammit george you were not very good to start with and its been 22 YEARS since you last directed anything. story again rammed in the chocolate starfish with the commericalisation of the pod racing scene (which takes up about 50% of the film it seems). pick a totally appaling actor for annakin. Take some of the best acting talent and turn them into cardboard with bloody awful directing and bad script. Hell I can't even remember what happens in this film apart from the pod race.
Ep2: A bit better, i.e. watchable. Script a bit better as hes working with somebody again for the screenplay. again choose an awful annakin. Whats now odd about this is that I can't think of a single point without music in the film. probably why the film seems better as the great music can actually make you feel the emotions that the script and directing cannot.
I don't know why he returned to the writing/directing roles, surely he realised that 5&6 were better than 3? Why couldn't he have turfed the directing/screenplay over to better people? He could have kept his repuation as a god, and become a benevolant god at that. What possessed him to do it?
To leave on a positive note, at least nothing else looks like star wars, it's too 'in your face' to copy. Unlike Alien which although a great film, every spacecraft interior now looks like it's out of Alien and unfortunately it seems a hell of a lot of stories just copy it as well...
