I'm not sure about the justification behind the Gungans having anti-robot siege tech, but I digress. Well same thing with the Gungan city, but it doesn't make sense to be on the opposite side of the planet to your target. Visually there are some very spectacular stuff. And I seem to recall Lucas is a very visual director (as far as planning story lines). I strongly suspect he had these very distinct scenes in his head (underwater city, water caves, setpiece droid battle.) But it's a much too cluttered an ending. Even the Endor battle is really pushing things and the Episode I has one more battle subplot than the Endor battle did. There's just not enough screen time to do all the battles justice. So the light saber fight is super epic, the dogfight is kinda lame because they didn't cast Anakin as a teen or late teen (which could've jumped started the love story right away) and the commando team get's the short shift, but is intense enough (really only see the Queen although there's also the decoy and the security team outside running around). And then there's the comic relief battle. Jar Jar. Kills a lot of tension in the final climax imo. But it's very pretty. | ||

Well, I think Lucas is a terrible director. Good visionary, but terrible director. That's part of the reason why the best star wars move is the one he didn't direct(episode 5). I'm kind of ambivalent as to which version of the original trilogy is better. I don't think the remastered version did anything which horribly screwed up the films. It's still basically the same movie, just touched up. And those things they did touch up still hold up as looking quite nice, like the cgi x-wings taking off from the rebel base instead of just points of light flying into the sky from the horizon. Both versions are pretty much equally good to me though. I'm optimistic about this new movie, especially since disney will probably try to do a good job, at least with the first sw movie they get to do, and get a good director for it. | ||

The director's cut isn't always the director's cut either. Can't remember who it was (probably Ridley Scott) who was getting pressured to do a director's cut for DVD sales, whereas in his mind, the director's cut was the one that was shown in the theatres. | ||

This is the thing. Hasn't the franchise been all but run into the ground as it is? The legacy series of books were nowhere near as good as the earlier books, the videogames are getting worse and worse... This could be a blessing in disguise. While Disney aren't exactly renowned for making this "type" of film, they won't want to anger the legions of fanboys (us) and as such I expect them to put significant effort into getting a top notch crew and cast for these films, if they happen, since I doubt the old cast will be up for it. It depends now on what they're actually going to be about. If it's going to be something existing in canon - the Yuuzhan Vong War, for example - or something brand new that they throw our heroes into. I'm not sure how good either of those would be. I think they have better options - a Darth Bane triology, a KOTOR trilogy... Disney churns out loads of films a year, so there's no reason why even more spin off type productions aren't possible. HOPEFUL OPTIMISM, EVERYONE | ||

Yuuzhan Vong series might be too long for three films though, it's 19 novels.... On October 31 2012 11:31 pedduck wrote: I always think we will get to see Solo's son in action!
