KnightWing Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Y'know, it's interesting. Revenge of the Sith, as a novel, was a thousand times better than the movie. Matthew Stover was able to rewrite the movie script into an epic, emotional, and powerful fantasy narrative. It proves that Revenge of the Sith possesses a rather brilliant story, but is told horribly through the acting, directing, and writing of the film. That's why I think they should always use the Empire Strikes Back method: Have George do the overall story work and producing, but leave the scriptwriting and directing to someone else. They use that method with The Clone Wars, and it works pretty well (within the parameters of a kids' show, of course). Also, the Millennium Falcon IS in Revenge of the Sith: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Stover was able to rewrite the movie script into an epic, emotional, and powerful fantasy narrative. It proves that Revenge of the Sith possesses a rather brilliant story, but is told horribly through the acting, directing, and writing of the film. You could almost say that for all three of the prequels. That's why I think they should always use the Empire Strikes Back method: Have George do the overall story work and producing, but leave the scriptwriting and directing to someone else. Yeah. I didn't really think about it till the review, but the CG shit really wasn't that important, it just felt like CG, so it didn't feel real, wheras the original was real sets and you could believe they were there and this stuff happened.

Stavros Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Meh, it's also in Star Trek: First Contact, Blade Runner and Starship troopers. Plus there are plenty of YT-1300 freighters in the Star Wars universe, it's a make and model, not a beautiful and unique snowflake. Still, I always got a chill when one showed up when I was playing the old Tie Fighter game. It's totally iconic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 You could almost say that for all three of the prequels. Yeah, that's what a lot of Star Wars fans (myself included) believe about the prequels. Good stories, bad films. EDIT: I thought the same thing about the Falcon, too, but it turns out that It actually is THE Falcon, not another YT-1300. It's been stated in interviews as such.

Stavros Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Really? Ah well, I could care less about pre Battle of Yavin extended universe, so it doesn't matter to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 K, so I'm getting further into the review. I actually like that opening space battle. A lot. I agree with his sentiments about Anakin unfortunately always being shown as a dickhead in the prequels. The unclear tone of the opening scenes is also pretty dead-on. EDIT: "People that like these films are either drooling idiots who just like lightsabers, or tiny babies." K, this guy just lost my respect.

Kscriv Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I have actually been really stoked for that match (if only because Ken Jennings gets to come back on TV) and trust me that is wetting my appetite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
