I have an awful feeling you're right.

It's so depressing, because the universe is so cool.  It's that lame pandering to marketing that made them fit this story in between the existing movies.  Why not something in between the two trilogies, when the narrative is much more open?  Everybody and his dog hates Anakin, so why do we have to keep featuring him?

As I've said somewhere before, the more and more this goes along, the more apt we ( being the nerdboy fandom jiggling with impotent rage "we," that is) are going to thank Lucas for his idea and politely put him in a old-folks' home where he can spin his tales in relative obscurity while we skip merrily off with his ideas/stuff into the sunset.

Dude just doesn't know when to shut the hell up, or pass the torch along, does he?
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

Paul Verhoeven was considered to direct Return. He should have done the prequels working from a Joe Eszterhas script.

Nice imagery there.

...and they'll replace Han Solo with a friendly talking Wookie that looks like a Muppet to make it more child friendly.  Or if Lucas is dead, maybe we'll get the hard R-rated Verhoeven version that does to Star Wars what they did to Battlestar Galactica.

I sure hope Lucas has a good plan for what to do with all the money. I almost forgive Bill Gates for being such a shark in the computer world, for what he's been doing in retirement.

Anakin : Master Kenobi, you fucked Padme.

Obi-Wan : From a certain point of view.

Anakin : A certain point of view?

Obi- Wan : Look, it was late, I was high on deathsticks and only saw the top of her head. How the fuck could I know it was her....

Later that day.

Senator Palpatine : What's the matter Anakin ?

Anakin : Obi -Wan is fucking Padme.

Senator Palpatine: Oh dear me.

Anakin : I gotta step up my game.

Senator Palpatine :  The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural

Anakin : Unnatural..like rimming?

I saw Mongols the other night. That was pretty awesome. Temujin kept getting captured and enslaved and escaping and when imprisoned in an open air cage for a year in the rain he just put up with it and plotted his escape, he was like a PC.

Quote from: Seanchai;236197It has, in fact, all the hallmarks of the new Star Wars: insipid plots so full of holes you could drain spaghetti with them, dialog that is leaden and dead enough to come with it's own casket, pale stabs at "humor,"
Exactly my feelings toward the new trilogy of Star Wars. I watched the first film at the theater, and thought "what the fuck is this shit?". I felt the second film was going to suck, but watched it nonetheless, and it sucked. I haven't watched the third film yet, I've got better things to do, like staring at a wall.

Could it be that I liked the original trilogy due to nostalgia? I don't think so, when I watch the original trilogy as an adult, I keep thinking how wonderful those films were. Only to hear Darth Vader's line it's worth it.

If I were you, I would have stayed at home, even without power.

I saw CLONE WARS for free at a sneak preview , with my friend Katrina sitting on my left side, and Lady C sitting on my right side.

 As a result, I was in a sort of awkward good mood frame of mind when I saw it.
