The first Star Wars movie (Episode IV) about knocked my socks off. The second was maybe even a little better, although it didn't pack the "socks" wallop of the first outing simply because IV broke so much new ground. After that, a total waste of time. Only the hardest of the hard cores could find any redeeming value in Episodes I & II. Bad stories, bad casting and bad acting is a tough triumverate to overcome. Nonetheless, the die hards are still out there. There was a story on the news the other night about some moron who is already standing in line for Episode III. That, my friend, will be a long and lonely vigil.

Up over and out.

Are you saying you don't like the Ewoks and Jar-Jar?

Say it isn't so! :lol:

I like my muppets on Sesame Street or the Muppet Show. Okay, Yoda was cool, but...

:P

I definitely agree the series jumped the shark at Return Of The Jedi. Friggin' ewoks were like teletubbies with fur, a far cry from the cool edge of the first two films. ROTJ just plain sucked, even Vader went soft. :tdown

These last two movies and ROTJ combined with the atrocious extra footage added to the other movies have further cemented that at some point after Empire Strikes Back Lucas lost sight of what made his first two movies cool.
