You right shouldn´t it be in Media & Entertainment?



Because there are signs that the "new" movies go in the same direction. And besides a irrelevant cast there is nothing else to talk about.

Rofl! I was pretty young still when the prequel movies came out i didn't dislike them but even then i did notice that they traded acting for special effects.

To be honest I liked the special effects even better in the originals.
Not as over the top as in the prequels but so often much more awesome. Maybe because they weren't predominant and only used when the movie needed them but not all the time like in the prequals.
Like that first star destroyer you see at the start of a new hope, or the battle of Hoth, or the Death Star attack. Those are still awesome scenes
Somehow they managed to do so much more with so much less.

There is something to miniatures done well that makes it seem a bit more believable sometimes. Even modern day CGI can seem a bit fake if you rely on it to build every scene.

It's kinda like how they didnt really use special effects but everything really came off as real honestly.

It's kinda like how Godzilla(1954) was filmed using a rubber suit, but it came off as realistic looking because they knew what they were doing when they filmed it(using low angles, dim lighting) all to make him look like a giant monster.

pretty sweet how some of the older movies turn out better than the newer ones lol

A very direct way of seeing this is watch even a little bit of one of those abominable "Special Edition" Star Wars OT movies. The CGI is embarassingly bad, but the model/suit stuff totally holds up. It looks awful anytime one of the new things wanders on camera, because we've gotten used to good CGI and can spot the crap, but the puppets and models (models that were lovingly made down to the last viewport, then packed with explosives and blown to bits) hold up perfectly.

I like the idea of spin-offs from the main film storyline. The star wars universe is fucking huuuge and has such an awesome lore / setting for great narratives / films / whatever.

Look at some of the storylines they've come up with just in games, there just so much they can do with it all.

I'm not a huge fan of Episode IV, but one of the things I absolutely love is how it flawlessly captures the atmosphere. One of the things I sometimes end up wondering about during a movie is how the actors/director accomplished what I'm seeing, and maybe what the set looks like. During Episode IV especially, I almost never had that feeling. It was hard for me to imagine the scenery ending just a bit behind the camera and then film crews standing around; if I didn't know any better, I would've thought the movie was filmed on location.

That's because Episode IV was filmed on location lol.
