Hell, if we could go ahead and erase Eps I, II, and III while we are at it I don't think anyone (besides Lucas) would mind.
I think of them as the collective hangover nightmares of Luke, Han, and Leia after the party in VI.

I think if they retconed the prequels, it'd be the biggest fuck you in Hollywood history.
Releasing the original trilogy on Blu-Ray minus the bullshit Lucas additions would be a minor fuck you.

I still say Annikin needs to destroy the ship he doesn't know his wife is on, trying to get away from him, and the babies get put into an escape pod at the last second because Padme is trapped under a Space Beam (and looks sad) and that scene looks just like when R2 and Threepio jettison and go to Tattoine.
That "dying of a broken heart" scene is just.... it's like... a 6th grade girl wrote it.
Seriously, the man lost his fucking mind. I'm telling you. Someone needs to get him some help. But I am satisfied the franchise is out of his control.

When it comes to writing he was always an awful hack. It's just that earlier in his career he had people that would tell him how to make it better instead of kissing his ass and telling him he's shitting gold. His real brilliance was as a visual storyteller, working with models and practical effects to make movie magic. But he lost that when he got so far up into the ass of CGI.

Know what I have seen at the movies lately? A commercial for some kid charity.... there is a wheelchair kid and suddenly R2-D2 is there and they are pals... and if you give so much money to this charity, you can gt your fave Star Wars character in some sort of heart pendant. And one of the options is a Darth Vader/heart pendant, because nothing says "I love kids" than a pendant of the guy who slaughtered a bunch of really little kids in the movie.
I find that to be weird. Sorta tells me that peeps don't generally consider the prequels to be real.
Retcon that mother fucker.

No. It is. At least the bullshit love thing took out a fucking asteroid made of evil. Cause aside, the effects are bad-ass. Padme dying was perhaps the ultimate emo death scene.Vince wrote:Really bad, but no worse than the ending of the 5th Element.GORDON wrote:That "dying of a broken heart" scene is just.... it's like... a 6th grade girl wrote it.

Definitely. I think another reason we give it a pass is because it came out on the trailing edge of the vast lack of good Sci-fi. I still think the reason people think the original Star Wars was great and the later three were so horrible is because there weren't many options for Sci-fi when the original came out. It was an immersive world, but beyond that they weren't that great. We just remember the great parts because we took what we could get.
For every "City On The Edge of Forever", we had two "Spock's Brain".
