I have an idea

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2004)

I have an idea...maybe George Lucas will wake up and hire Peter Jackson to direct Episode III. Mr. Lucas could certainly pick up some lessons on how to create an epic trilogy. Mr. Jackson did not have oscar-level actors, or a huge CGI budget. But he knew enough to film on location, hire someone else to do the screenplay, and keep the CGI down to reasonable level. I know the CGI per frame in ROTK was excessive, but compare his battle sequences to those in Episode II, at least Jackson made it part of the story instead of making it the whole story.
Bottom line, the original trilogy was cheesy, the lines corny, the acting poor at best...but for whatever reason it worked. Lucas can not recreate that magic on his current budget, and we are just going to have to accept the fact that Episode III is going to be just as crappy as the first two. I for one will still watch it, I mean come on it's Star Wars for god's sake!
