Myrk, I'm pretty sure there is a new one JUST OUT, so its hardly old
news. Its not the same one thats been around for ages. That said, I
don't really keep up with these things, so maybe I'm wrong. I also
can't look at it just now as I don't wanna whore my bandwidth when my
flatmates are gaming :sad:

Ahhh, you fools, you're all wrong. This movie is going to suck hard. It has nice graphics, and that's about all. I'm only 12, but wise enough to know that this is not going to be good at all. You have to consider the track record here. 4=awesome 5=awesome 6=awesome 1=more politics than anything else 2=crappy is all that comes to mind 3=pathetic. After 4 5 and 6 Lucas started to decline. Yes he was/is still pushing the limits of special effects in movies, but it all meant nothing when the story fell out from under him. Episode one seemed like a political movie. It was boring like MI:2. The movie was:1.A bunch of comical chinese aliens dicking around 2.An incredibly annoying frog fish thing that ruined whatever was good in the movie 3.people arguing over who is, in fact, the real queen armadillo.
The thing that episodes 1 and 2 lacked is, story for sure, but also character and depth. In episodes 4 5 and 6, there was character. Solo always had his smart ass remarks, and Leia always had her quick comebacks, but there was no such things in 1 and 2.
In my opinion, Lucas should have left it at episode 6. It all started to fall apart, and this movie looks no better. Of course, one must see it because it is concluding the most famous double trilogy ever, but I doubt I will enjoy it. I lost my faith that Lucas would make a good movie a long time ago.

Actually, the only God-Awful SW movie is Attack of the Clones. Phantom Menace is good except for Jake Lloyd. He sucks so bad. Just imagine how awesome it would have been if he wasn't annoying and did everything he did on purpose.
But, whatever. Revenge of the Sith will be pretty good just because Lucas isn't calling it, "The Creeping Fear" ... his original idea for a name.
In fact, Attack of the Clones would have been better if it was called Clone Wars. And there are good parts in AotC, such as the underwater city = awesome. Other then that though, it was so bad.
Also, the acting in the original three isn't that good ... I believe no one was really "acting" as well. Lucus didn't define the characters before he cast them ... I think that may be the problem with the newer movies. I still don't understand how he made THX1138 though.
I think this'll pan out like the Alien movies. Everyone hated (and still does hate) Resurection, when in actuality, not taking in the last 20 minutes, it's the best of the four.

I couldn't find anything on the web, but at the graduate recruiting weekend I went to in Seattle, they told us that there is already some crazy guy waiting at the theater there to get his tickets!

I thought Phantom Menace was poor, AOTC was ok, if only for the big
battle scenes and stuff, but it didnt have the magic of the original
trilogy.
The trailer looks well good though, but I guess thats what trailers are
meant to do. This should be the best of the new trilogy imo because the
whole plot is a lot darker, though I think it will probably be spoilt
by the over the top animations and stuff again.

Im a bit of a sw nut, Im really excited to see the sentence "you dont know the power of the dark side" explained , and looking by that trailer we get to see the emporer show his stuff. Most starwars fans are most looking forwards to the anakin and obi-wan fight but im not for some reason, im expecting that part of the film to drag a little.
I agree the new films havent touched the originals except ROTJ which i find poor except for the last fight, ep1 is ok as it has darth maul in :smile: , but ep2 just didnt move the story on enough for me and left too much to be told in ep3.

Yeah, Lucas should've stopped after the first three movies. Just
like the Matrix should never have had sequels to ruin its name.
The original Matrix was such an awesome movie, but the next two left
such a bad taste in my mouth that I am still a bit nauseated from their
effect.

And I think they should have stopped making Star Wars games after
X-Wing Alliance and the original Jedi Knight game. I don't know if
anyone else has noticed what a load of crapola most of the newer Star
Wars games have been, with the exception of a few.

Again another exception there Gorbachev. But apart from those I'd say
there aren't too many others, at least ones that had something of a
lasting appeal.

The new one is good too... I see a trend...
...a trend of Agent Smith being wrong!
Apparantly Star Wars Galaxies was amazing if you wanted to spend money to play!

Thanks Myrk :rolleyes: . I did make allowances for games that I missed and were actually ok.
But
I think you've got to agree that most of Lucas Arts new games have been
of average quality, especially compared with a lot of other games being
released at the same time. I don't know, a lot of games from movies
nowadays don't seem to spend the time making a great game, just an
average one. It's as bad as the main stream music market, its all about
money and quantity, not quality.
Of course a notable exception
being the Lord of the Rings games, which are supposed to be really
good, though I've never played them.

A lot of the crappy ones were released for the Star Wars franchise, its
just they've been lucky that their few successes have outshone them. Of
course, most of those releases were mainly console games.
Look, everyone's entitled to their opinions when it comes to games. I
might think somethings crappy while someone else might not. It's all
about expectations and standards, as well as what people enjoy in games.

Armed and Dangerous is pretty fun actually. One of the decent Lucas games, I think.
But in general, LucasArts just has some of the worst code EVER. I don't understand why either.

Lol...
I thought that Rogue fighter game was cool, one where you fly an X wing and do some classic gun down shooting. Think you got to fly the millenium falcon through a tunnel of red lasers too :biggrin:
Have to agree on the film -> game franchise. Half the time the game is out before the film! (Constantine being a good example).
