He didn't complain when he sold his "children" for 4 billion. :patrice:

It seems like he didn't expect them to do so good without him.

The prequels were great and if you did not like jar jar.
They have a version where he only is in it for a short time.
Past ep I, I don't know how people complain about the prequels.
I saw attack of the clones three times in the same day and like seven times in like three weekends or some shyt.

Revenge of the Sith is absolutely at the very least on par with the Originals. If it had been executed a little better and had a couple things different it would easily be the best so far.

Originally Ep 2 was the only one I really messed with. It wasn't till I re-watched all 6 and saw it as one big narrative did I start to enjoy the first 1-3 more. Adding in The Clone Wars, made me see just how vast the world Lucas had created.
As what @I AM WARHOL was saying, it's a shame that with all the world building Lucas did they rather focus on the Ep 4-6. Doing so makes it feel like fan-fiction. I have faith in(hoping) Rian Johnson to doesn't fall into the trap of boxing Star Wars movies in a corner where they have to follow the plot beats of 4-6.

Those same fans are still going to go see it anyway. Star wars has the most loyal fan base out of anything.

If the millennium falcon had a cameo then got blown up and han solo and chewy reacted to it that would've been a dope scene and opened the door for a new ship.


fukk outta here, who wants to see the millenium falcon get blown up.
They need a whole prequel movie to explain the millenium falcon, breh.
The millennium falcon is the most iconic spaceship in history.
You can blow up the falcon.
How could you not want to hear that engine roar where it sounds like you on a space roller coaster.
You really want to see that and not hear that engine and see the lines of the falcon...
Y'all are deprived,.....

Y'all got to much chucky from fresh in y'all.
Y'all are like the kids who never read comics and saw wolverine vs Spiderman as a one shot and lost your mind and frame of good imagination.

I agree with everything except this. TV shows like "True Detective" season one and "The Knick" show that serialized shows/movies are better when there's one consistent vision behind them. I would prefer it if JJ "owned" the state he left the universe in. Too many different voices behind it and it really turns into just fan fiction.

I think I would actually have a higher opinion of TFA if the exact same plot were expanded out as a cable or Netflix series, rather than as an "Episode VI" sequel. That roman numeral in the title gave it a lot to live up to.

No thanks.

See star trek into darkness and every tv show abrams was behind that has a spark when it started and then....

Besides the og trilogy was 3 different directors

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Plot wise they were straight. The problem was the execution. If he would've gotten someone else to direct and re-do the screenplay, they wouldn't have the rep they do now.
And how can you say he murdered the franchise when he was involved with The Clone Wars which is praised by all Star Wars fans?
Involved in and write the whole damn thing are totally different

shyt he was involved in these right? They took his old ideas and made a new movie

Thats good enough.


Let's not act like he was some genius. Most the shyt fanboys love was from books/comics/cartoons he wasn't the lead or even involved in, besides saying yes or no


Best movies. He didn't direct


Worst movies. He wrote himself


Now we gotta throw in everything he was asked permission about and each line he was involved in?

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a word or two. But this whole "hand it to Lucas and it would have been gold......." talk.




Nah. He fumbled that ball a long long time ago

I dont want luke to go to the darkside... that's what plageuis (snoke) is for.... Besides luke could have went to the darkside in the past but he didnt. he lost his whole jedi school and lost his nephew in part 7 but didnt turn then. what would possess his integrity to fall to the darkside?

Luke is the balance... Always was...:francis:


Well, he can't go to the dark side cause it seems his daughter exists and that would mean Mara jade is dead.

So, there is no catalyst to get luke to go to the dark side.

Everybody across the board agrees Lucas is best if he is outlining the story. Which is what happened with Eps 5,6, and The Clone Wars series. I (and many others) would like to see what his plot for Ep 7 would've been.

lets be honest... they could of replaced all the actors with rocks, and Star Wars would of still did numbers...


That did not work back in the day and they had rock toys that transformed and all that shyt.



You, guys in your Gen are so deprived from the good shyt.
Y'all prop the bad shyt and don't even know it failed already.
It is a shame what mother's groups did to fukk up y'all child hood.
nikkaz in here being overly critical of star wars.
I know you ain't had no xwing,...

What a novel idea. Sequels with new material. Jurassic World, New Hope and Creed are all sequals that cling to their predecessors as if they were afraid to do something different. Got me agreeing with Lucas :what:


Those movies have to cling to nostalgia..terminator was excellent cause it rebooted everything and clung to bullet points of the original as well..these movies are done well.

Jurassic park, still is limited like the alien franchise cause they never go to the island to kick some Dino ass like everyone wants to see.
Just like aliens they never went to the planet with newt as the alien hunter.
like the natural progression and pulse of the series said to go.
Yet, they are very good reboots better than i thought i would get.
Star wars has to stick to the source material.
If it does not it is not star wars and some other shyt.
I really wanna read these reviews where people shyt on this movie cause I have not read any rants yet.
Yet, I don't understand the negative hater reviews.
These same style reviews are the weirdo offbrand reviews that expose you don't know shyt about movies for real..especially the goat gateway film franchise of all time.

Without star wars why even go to the movies for kids born in my Gen.

Nuffin can fukk with star wars, period.
