The Prequel Trilogy

[jedi_master_tenku]

I think the problem was more like this:

Young Lucas = visionary film genius
Old Lucas = special effects whoring money grubber

you mean old lucas, "Shiny things good...." *Lucas foams at the mouth*

more like this.

Random SW fan: "I wonder where Lucas is going with this. He is probably making a movie that will be vastly inferior to his OT."

Old Lucas: "I wonder where I am going with this. I'll probably make a movie that is vastly inferior to my OT... Because this quarter is Shiny!"  

[Flamer42]

Yep, deffinantly more acurrate...  

[Lady Zombie Robot]

I like things that are shiny too...

I do think part of Lucas' problem is that he lets the special effects go too far. In the OT, it was new, it was innovative, he amazed audiences with his breakthrough visuals. In the PT, he wanted to do that again. Problem was, special effects have become standard. They're used in pretty much any movie in some way. So he felt he had to out do all these in order to once again prove himself, and in doing so, he overdid the whole thing and took away from the magic of it.

[Flamer42]

Great movie. It is pretty funny.  

[Nelowulf]

Evil Alien Conquerers is good.

"You know the cow?"
"Yes"
"He is an insolent b*****d."  

[jedi_master_tenku]

*laughs* Sounds good already...  

[Flamer42]

Yes, sounds like it would be one of those movies that I see just for the funny lines.  

[jedi_master_tenku]

Mmm... Original Godzilla movies... And we mustn't forget Gamera! "Bigger. Badder. Turtlier."
