Thinking About Star Wars

[dra(gon)]

star war yeah that was a pain 4-6 were outstanding, because all the stoff shadows of the empire all the book , comics and games.
then ep1-3 are coming some pain beginns.

the first episode is so focus on the kind and no real big enemy, (why maul died so soon) lucas destroy his ago with that micromeridan things , and a real crappy explain in ep3 as quin gon comes back .

even the fightingstuff look ep1-3 and 4-6 man the jedis have loose ale, rember kotor.
i thougt the colne wars were cooler as i saw then i was pissed of , robots ????? wtf and clones boba fetts.

i thought the bad guys have clone jedis for fighting and after taht the emp killed his tools.


i didnot like the ep6 ending and if you write a saga lucas why not like lotr? (ben , vader and co vs the emp on the end, and not in ep is luke the hero.

I once wrote a story that I thought was about a likeable protagonist who made an innocent decision that brought about a Twilight-Zone style disaster for himself. Everyone in my creative writing class loved the story -- but they all thought it was about a self-absorbed jerk who got a well-deserved comeuppance. It took me several years to realize that they were right. I'd totally missed the point of my own story, and as it had come out on paper, it was about something other than I had thought. Furthermore, it was a much better story that way than the way I'd conceived of it.

Likewise, Star Wars is a much better story (imho) if it is an object lesson about society, politics, religion, and how you treat those around you, than if it's just a good-versus-evil slugfest.

We don't have any record of what Shakespeare actually meant by any of his plays, but generations of people have found meaning in them. I see no reason why we shouldn't do the same with Star Wars, just because it's not Shakespeare.

This ought to be posted in the LotR movie/book adaptation thread.

Thanks.

My personal hope is that somewhere in some vault, George Lucas has the "grownup editions" of Star Wars, in which we see Gungans and Ewoks getting slaughtered by the hundreds, and in which some of the nuances that I see in the story are made more explicitly clear. And when he finally brings those versions out, I'll be vindicated.

But I'm pretty sure I'll win the lottery before that happens.

I wanted to discuss slave girl Princess Leia, but noooooo. I guess it wasn't important enough.

Speaking of which, did anyone see Olivia Munn from Attack of the Show dressed up as slave girl Princess Leia?

She did this IN REAL LIFE? Where cameras were present? This thread is officially worthless without pics, or at least links to pics.
