For the "Star Wars" Fans!

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2002)

This is a comment for all you "Star Wars" fans who hated Episode I and II and don't feel if worthy of being called "Star Wars" First off, this new trilogy is vastly superior to the original trilogy. The story lines in Episodes IV, V, and VI are so simplistic and childish compared to I,II, and III. Finally the Star Wars universe has matured into a real movie instead of the Saturday Morning Cartoons that were the first three. Don't get me wrong I am a HUGE Star Wars Nerd (that's right with a capital "N") and should be embarrassed by the amount of knowledge that I know, but I am also a movie buff and I can tell the difference between a good movie and a great one. Sure the acting is bad in I, and II but I guess none of you watched Mark Hamill or Carrie Fisher closely. Everyone complains about Jar-Jar Binks. First off let's rule out the whole discriminatory towards Black people thing because both the designer and actor of the character were black. I believe it was Comdian/Actor Whoopi Goldberg (Who can neither be funny nor act) who first complained about Jar-Jar, and I have no idea why anyone would listen to her. Second, George Lucas does not make these movies to satisfy the Star Wars geeks. THESE MOVIES ARE MADE FOR CHILDREN, and you all must realize that. Third, I take it no one noticed the Ewokes in ROTJ. Come on, little furry munchkins taking on an imperial army of seasoned fighters?? Bottom line is this, these movies are made by George Lucas. Anything he does with the saga is his business and his buisness alone. If you don't like it, don't watch it!
