In a way you are saying that The Star Wars prequels are like the Scary Movie series, where only two or three good jokes can be found amid all the awfulness. Of course, despite those few good jokes the Scary Movies are still not worth watching.

I wouldn't have necessarily used that comparison, but I suppose yes, I am. IMO, the prequels had some good *moments*, but overall I felt the story was blah.

RotJ reigns supreme as far as the overall movie.......always......

Ending IS cool even with ewoks, and space battle is clearly best of the saga...

..but a whole lot of horrible, like Endor and Emperor's "plot".

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Slightly off topic, but about the events in RotJ, but why do Stormtroopers even wear that armor? Judging from the movies it doesn't protect them against blaster bolts, and the Ewoks seemed to be able to beat the snot out of them with rocks and wooden sticks.

 

And I still laugh at that whole "An entire legion of my best men" line by the Emperor, when considering they got trounced by a bunch of teddy bears.

yeah...

 

That was shameful day for Vader's 501.

Well, for one thing, you can only truely understand ROTS if you have watched and understood all of the other movies. I found out that several friends and my mother didn't understand what ROTS was all about. What Sith and Jedi are and this Order 66. Two point I don't like in ROTS is that:

 

A) Mace Windu was killed in a way it could only fit in a true horror movie, not in a SW film. It would have been better if Anakin would go for Windu's head, succeed and he would fall down in stead of this absolutely horrible dead.

 

B) How is this gravity on Grievous's battleship working in space? If a ship "dives" in space, no one should notice because it is "space" without gravity right?

We can play nice or I will deal with those who are bad accordingly.

well, artificial gravity. heh, as I was playing battlefront 2 I wondered, why do starfighters need wings?

And why there is sounds in space etc.

 

Seriously, SW is totally unrealistic. Don't even try to explain its weirdness

I'll try; it's space opera. Not scifi.

I thought that it was obvious (that SW is space opera) Don't try to explain weirness of space opera to be more accurate

 

Actually, how do you categorize space opera Mus? I think that its fantasy instead of scifi, however, some always put it in scifi category. What's your opinion?

Space opera?

 

Well, there's probably a strict set of rules somewhere, but set genre specifications are anal, so my definition is kinda loose. To put it simply, anything that focuses on the leaps on technology that have been in the future and tries to explain them scientifically is scifi. Space opera on the other hand is pretty much space fiction. No technology is explained as such, it just is, like lightsabers of hyperdrive.

 

Another example; Babylon 5 is very much scifi, while Firefly is space opera(or a cowboy story in space). Cowboy Bebop is space opera, most mecha series are space opera, Silver Surfer is space opera, so are Giraud's graphic novels and Dan Simmon't Hyperion, while on the other hand Star Trek is not.

 

Some people characterize space opera as epic, but it doesn't have to be, although a lot of the stories do have galaxy-wide happenings and grand themes,, like fight between light and darkness and revenge. Such, is space opera.

Wow... That was good definition!

 

End of off-topic. Sorry mods

Good, but posthumously very typoed. :D

 

Yeah, sorry mods.

What did you do?...

There's sound in space because the scenes would be boring without. Not only in SW but almost every sci-fi movie.

 

Space fighters have wings because they need them as soon as they enter a planet atmosphere.
