His visual acuity is like a T-Rex. He can't see us, or take our money, if we don't move (our butts to the theater when these movies are released).

OR...

Just don't look!/ Just don't look!

I would kick him in the nuts for 15 dollar.

I think I'm just going to let out an 8 hour sigh for the day.

I wouldn't have thought it possible when I was a kid, because I adored Star Wars so much, but he's pretty much killed any love I ever had for the series.

Give me the original 3 films in their original condition and then fuck off Lucas. I'm done.

He needs to be put in carbonite and hung on a wall in the National Gallery as the man who created THEN destroyed one of the best movie franchises in history. With each revamp, the younger generation sees less and less of the original story and more supposed “WOW”. Here's an idea: WRITE SOMETHING NEW! I think he forgot that he CAN do this. Someone should remind him.

I really believe that he thinks he is doing something right; but at some point, he has to have to face the fact that he wrote 3 really good Star War movies (I argue only 2; blah, Jedi), and everything else became a vanity project to prove that he is still the “Sci-Fi Master”. Sorry Georgie, your best years are far behind you. Focus on ILM’s ability for great CG for OTHER movies. Otherwise, you look like an insecure kid who needs to update his outfit every time fashion demands it.

Put down the 3D jeggings before we all regret it.

You think he's overrated, Kballs? Really? I think people are just sitting around going, "God, Lucas can suck my balls."

superasente,

Absolutely I think he's overrated. He's a glorified idea man who was a technical wizard 30 years ago and now produces a bunch of stuff. He can't write a script for shit, his directing is mediocre, he takes way too much credit for everything that Lucasfilm creates, and he treats his fans like little piggy banks. "American Graffiti" is good but not THAT good. "Indiana Jones" was his original idea, but Spielberg and Kasdan were responsible for its greatness. And he has REPEATEDLY made foolish and narcissistic changes/updates/prequels/whatever to his biggest cinematic success. Being richer than most nations does not make him great. He made good on a fantastic idea and turned it into a massive fortune. This makes him an shrewd opportunist, not a great talent.

Dangnabit, this kid I'm having in November will totally want to see all of this 3D bullshit won't he? If I never ever teach him what 3D means maybe I can avoid these and he will be happy with the originals?

At this point, it's just like throwing a dessicated hot dog down a corpsified hallway, yeah?

You know, he could make mountains of money by simply running the original three movies through the theatres once a decade--without spending a cent on fluffing them up. every ten years there would be a new batch of kids, plus all us adults who continuously freak out at all his nonsense. Would you spend ten bucks once a decade to see a star wars movie on the big screen unchanged?

In fact he could probably make mountains of money holding the films for ransom: "send ten dollars or I will alter them more and destroy the originals"

given the obsessiveness of starwars fans, he's more of an obtuse opportunist than a shrewd opportunist.

but I'll be damned if it isn't everytime someone mentions starwars I have the worst craving to haul out my dvds and curl up in bed. what the hell is that, I'm a frickin pavlovian dog.

2D was bad enough - who the fuck wants to see The Phantom Menace in 3D?!
Shiny turds still stink despite the shine, George.

Who is more foolish: The fool or the fool who keeps giving Lucas more money?

Just enjoy and cherish the original films and move on to other stuff.

But that's no fun to the whiny bitches. Bitches wanna bitch.

Just how is Episode I the worst of the six? Perhaps because it was the biggest letdown, after which most people expected the prequels to suck, but I didn't completely write them off until Episode II, with the even more nonsensical plot and acting that got even worse than the previous installment.

Anyway, King Mob, it may be Lucas's franchise, but I think the nerd rage stems from the fact that many fans considered to be Lucas the best contributor to cinema of all time, and I'll bet all lot of the rage directed at him results from the subsequent disillusionment that set in. He got all the credit when the franchise was good, now he gets all the fury when it goes to shit.

Nevermind 3-D. Someday movies are going to have "Smell-O-Vision" where you too can smell the perfume sweat of Jabba the Hutt, "Feel-Around", where you will be able to experience the sensation of one of your limbs hacked off, and "Cinema-Taste" where you'll be able to have whatever newt and bog stew Yoda is serving.

Basically anytime some new cinematic bell or whistle come out Georgie boy will re-issue his movies. And like crackwhores on DTs, legions of pathetic fans will buy yet another copy of each movie that the don't need.

Money...meet Fools. Fools...kiss Money good-bye.

"Just how is Episode I the worst of the six?"

Is it wrong that I'm a tiny bit excited about this news just for the possible opportunity to see the original trilogy on the big screen again?

You're asking the torch-wielders?

oh, I'll slide with chugga. I can put up with 3D for a third time around with star wars and empire strikes back on the big screen. the other four, well, maybe i will save my dough for films that havent actually paid for themselves yet

I have one point of contention: "The Phantom Menace" clearly was not the worst of the prequels. "Attack of the Clones" gave us such stilted dialogue that if I were to ever watch this film, I would immediately fast-forward to the Yoda/Dooku fight, and even the joy of finally seeing Yoda throw down couldn't save such a horrible mess of rhino shit.

I'm honestly surprised some basement dweller hasn't nerd raged and killed him yet.
