Star Wars, the legend comes to an end. Does this mean Disney is abandoning one of their biggest money-maker themes of all time? Of course not. Just more misleading advertising shit, to pump up the excitement and get everyone into theaters to pay for the latest episode of Star Wars. Don't worry, suckers. There will be plenty more Star Wars movies coming in the future, as Disney continues to crank out more pieces of commercial junk. Dracula, where are you when we need a hero to save us from Disney's treacle? Was Dracula transformed into a light-emitting creature of love who settled down with Kristen Stewart in marital bliss? | |

There is a movie documentary out called The People VS George Lucas which argues the franchise has been destroyed by him alone. This was before the release of The Last Jedi, which tore fans in half. Half love it and half hate it. Mr Lucas did his damage when he released the 'special' editions of the original trilogy. You can't find the original theatrical releases anywhere. Even TCM had to show the New Hope version of Star Wars (and couldn't even show the wide screen version of that). If Disney was smart (which they are to get where they are), they would release the original trilogy on DVD, release the debacle known as the Christmas Special to remind those what Mr Lucas is capable of and then release movies about the Knights of the Old Republic.

I'm always amazed at how bad the new films are, it's like cinema never existed and nobody knows how to make a film. | |

I thought the George Lucas Star Wars prequels were divisive, but I hadn't seen anything until "The Last Jedi." The whole fan base is split down the middle on that film. But in all due respect to merc77, the original trilogy capitalized on the phenomenal success of "A New Hope." They struck gold again with Empire, but even "Return of the Jedi" was hot garbage. Two good films out of eight (or ten if you include "Solo" and "Rogue One") is a really bad batting average. Personal note, I saw the preview of the upcoming Star Wars film (I don't even remember it's title, nor do I care). I literally exclaimed "Oh no, please no." And I sat in line for hours when I was a kid to see each of the original trilogy and had action figures, models, sheets and towels (all star wars baby!). I've been a huge fan since 1977, and I'm now just exhausted by the whole series. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

I also waited in line to see the original Star Wars movie as well. I also didn't know the twist of Darth Vader being Luke's father in Empire. While I liked Jedi, I felt it had a Muppet Movie feeling to it with the Ewoks just being a bit too much. (That and the sappy ending...) The prequels were cash grabs and nothing more than that. I liked The Force Awakens for what it was but it wasted opportunities by not having the Big Three in one scene together. As for TLJ, I don't plan on seeing it but I might see Rise of Skywalker if they really do go through the time travel mess of a story line. There is something about seeing a train wreck happen before your eyes... Disney purchased Lucasfilm from Mr Lucas and by golly they will make money on it. That means beating that poor dead horse until you can't even sell it for horse meat. "Dogs think people are Gods.

Caught a bit of the prequels on TV the other day, it's amazing how little detail is in some of the CGI, it gives the whole thing an 'illustrated' or just 'animated' quality too it all. They could and probably will re-render them in 20 years and they might start to actually look like a film. | |

I agree the CGI in the prequels was pretty lame. Not to mention the whole look of the prequels was the opposite of the original trilogy (the original trilogy has a well-worn, dilapidated look to everything (pretty common in 70's sci-fi)). I would rather watch "Clone Wars" or "Rebels" rather than the prequels. They're much, much better. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

Almost certainly not the end of the film franchise, but with Disney + coming and there already being two shows developed for the channel (The Mandalorian looks great), I could see them using these series as a springboard to develop characters that would ultimately be the foundation for a new set of films. I think it's a given that pretty much all of the cast of this new trilogy won't be around for the next movies. | |

The funny thing about the effects in the prequels is that while some may think they aren't very good. They were very avant-garde when they were made 20 years ago. In fact it can be argued that ILM has been the leader when it comes to inventing new and imaginative special effects. Avatar was made a decade after the first prequel and James Cameron said the reason why he had to wait to make the movie is the technology did not exist yet. For me it's not a question of good or bad effects because many of my favorite sci-fi movies have pretty bad effects but they have an amazing story and good acting. The biggest problem with the sequels is that the story is terrible and the acting is not much better and sadly it's not because of the actors themselves but because the man behind the camera was too lazy to make a good movie. The prequels were less an actual movie and more a very long commercial to sell toys and what not. In fact it can be argued that Star Wars is what it is less for what George had in mind and more for when it was made. George spent years writing SW and if people are familiar with some of the ideas he had about the characters than you know that we dodged a bullet with many of his terrible ideas. The fact that it took years to get a studio to green light the movie and he didn't produce it which means that someone else was controlling the money and therefore had final say on many things that George might have wanted to do. I highly recommend that anyone interested in the prequels and what went wrong watch Red Letter Media's Mr.Plinckett review of the prequels because no matter how you feel about them. Those review will definitely alter your opinion on some if not all of them. You will also get some info on some of the really bad ideas Georges had about SW. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

pat362 I agree. Science fiction is still about the story like all genres. The effects don't have to be great. I have enjoyed films made in the 50's and 60's as much as those made today. It is what the director does with the effects he has available to him and the talent available to utilize them to produce the required scenes. Warning Will Robinson | |
