Lockedoutlogic you seem to be quite bitter again. You argue that Twin dad is writing from a fan perspective and therefore is completely biased. Yet you even describer yourself as a "diehard fan" (which I'm sure you are) but your opinion isn't biased??
I think you are in the group of bitter diehard fans who are disappointed with the second trilogy and feel all is lost.
The thing is The first trilogy was "lightening in a bottle", it is not going to be easy to duplicate that. Was the second trilogy disappointing? Yes it was not on the same level as the first. Was the second trilogy the worst piece of crap I have ever seen and therefore a harbinger of future crap? Nope I don't think so.
Too many "diehard fans" are overreacting to the second trilogy. They are disappointed that the "lighting in a bottle" wasn't duplicated.
Lucas made mistakes with the second trilogy relying on CGI too much and got wooden performances from the actors as a result, but can you blame the guy. After decades he finally gets the technology to support his original ideas and goes a little nuts with it.
However he did follow the same formula IMO but he didn't get the same results as the first trilogy. I honestly think it was out of his control as the expectations were uber high from all the "diehard fans"
And that is even moot as he will only be a consultant on the next trilogy. my view is I'm going to hope for the best. I think there is plenty of story for them to go with, and hopefully they can learn from previous mistakes.
But what do I know, I liked John Carter
I don't think it's "bitter"...or even "disappointed"
It actually more like pity.
I mean... I do agree
With alot of what you say and I am not "bitter" as you say enough to not concede alot of points... You make great ones.
But those movies and most of what has come since... Call me a "hater" (if you call me a hater...I call you "son"...because mom musta held your hand during the phantom movie)... We're just not appropriate to be made. Yeah... It's my opinion... And my opinion is they are that bad. Even the "good" movie of the three had terrible acting, worse dialogue, and alot of story fender benders...
I would argue that they were only made because Of Lucas's enormous money bin... And wouldn't have gotten the time o' day if they were brought to a studio somewhere.
Not to get geek... But the lack of explanation of the origin of the clone army and the redonkulous boba fett tie in for merchandising is enough to make me wish I hadn't wasted the time... Less than a days worth of work... Combined.
I've got an opinion... I'm not gonna try to hammer it home (anymore)...
But ironically... I've just finished watching "the people vs George Lucas". What can be described as " docu-comedy" made in 2009...
I have to admit... Even I think it might be too anti-Lucas...but it really does get to the heart of how Lucas just went down the hole. With particular emphasis on the " special edition " And what it did.
Honestly...it really is good...but R rated. Highly recommend it.
