Star Wars 3D Re-Releases Confirmed
Caleb:
Chapman came up with calling it an Norwegian blue as well and I think that made the skit.
Alex C:
Yeah, without Chapman it would have been a dry sketch about stubborn salespeople and how many euphemisms the British have for dead. Instead we now have pining for the fjords.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor on 03 Oct 2010, 11:51 ---I think it's almost fair to say that Star Wars was great despite Lucas. Remember, he only directed and wrote the script for the original Star Wars, and that was when he was under the tightest control from producers etc. He basically just produced and wrote story outlines for the others.

George Lucas just happens to be the biggest and easiest target to pick on as well, so when anything shitty to do with him happens, the blame falls square on his shoulders. I think there most certainly is bad writing in the later movies, but everybody's already used to proclaiming the prequel trilogy as the biggest unwatchable steaming pile of shit in the history of sci-fi.
Or at the very least that's the vibe I get from most people who hate the prequels.
look out! Ninjas!:
The prequel trilogy are actually bad movies though, it's not just because they didn't live up to the impossibly high bar set by everybody.
Alex C:
I think the most unforgivable bit is that the characters were either really dry or comic relief with very few characters really splitting the difference between the two. When Han Solo makes most of your new characters look one dimensional merely by splitting the difference between the daring rogue and good-hearted buffoon archetypes, then well, you have a pretty serious problem. The originals weren't exactly character studies, after all, but at least the principles weren't always locked into exposition mode. I know it sounds dumb, but little things like the Han shooting the intercom bit can make all the difference.
