assistant: "At least"...at least Star  Wars doesn't claim itself  to be  factual, unlike

Besides, Star Wars uses a theory of Hyperspace, which dictates that, with the
help of a Hyperdrive motivator, sends the ship into a "shadow" galaxy called
Hyperspace, with "shadow" objects hanging in the equivalent spot in
"Realspace".  Therefore, the concept of "lightspeed" is proverbially thrown
out the window.

Uh...remember the episode of ST:TNG when the Borg came to assimilate
Earth?  And the THREE pathetic fighter ships that tried to confront the Borg?
Me and my brother just looked at each other and laughed for a few minutes.
First, the Federation and it's pilots don't know a thing about strategy, as
the ships went at the erratic Borg point-blank.  Second, the pilots can't be
very good, as they didn't even fire, though they were well within range of
firing (practically point-blank distance!).  They also looked VERY slow and
manuverable out there, though that might be more of a knock at the
visual-effects men.

   Yeah, but let's not forget that Startrek does the same thing.  They use
sound , and they have the phazer beam appearing to be a color.  A phazer
still workson the monochromatic scheme as does a lazer.  You wouldn't see the
beam of a lazer or phazer as it is shown in the tv show and films.
   i think that the only scifi film I've seen which looks realistic would be
2000 space odacy...and its sequil.  Those two are more realistic scifi in the
way that space is handled then starwars or startrek.  Ok, so there's
speculation, but that occures in every sci-fy show...that's what makes it
what it is.

Write your reply.

assistant: I was thoroughly impressed by the re-released Star Wars movies quality;  I
saw the first two of the trilogy in the theater.  Let me tell you, the music
in the Empire Strikes Back sucked me in!!!
Of course, there was whining and bitching from people who expected more than
was advertised.
One person claimed "Star Wars is a walk in a museum compared to films like
Independence Day".  Back the truck up here; Independence Day had nothing but
special effects going for them.  Star Wars you could enjoy as a book.  Cannot
say the same for Independence Day.  Independence Day was a good movie and all
but nowhere near my favorite.  I didn't even care about it that much the
first time I saw it.
Another girl complained that she was expecting a "whole new Star Wars" and
that she was "mad when she left the theater" because there were only a "few
new scenes, one with Jabba the Hut" and that it was the equivalent of
"watching it at someone's house with surround sound."  She claimed it was
"not what they made it out to be."
First of all, she had to be a BIG IDIOT to be expecting a whole new Star
Wars.  I seem to remember the words "and a FEW new surprises".  A few is
about 3, people.  She obviously doesn't listen well.  Second of all, surround
sound on the THX version could NEVER touch the theater sound, plus that and
the picture were much enhanced.  Look at the letters in the beginning; even
those are clearer now.  the sound was so much better.  Plus, watching it in a
theat gives a much different environment.  Then she claimed it wasn't what
they made it out to be.  Let me remember the previews.  All they said was
there wld be better sound and picture, which they certainly had, a "few" new
scenes, which they had, (not a whole lot, they never claimed they would), and
a chae for the young kids who missed it the first time around to get to see
it in the theater, which also occurred.  To me, it lived up entirely to the
exptations.
