Star Wars 3D Re-Releases Confirmed
Ozymandias:
Also, it's nice when there's likable protagonists.
In the original movies, Luke, Han, and Leia were all immediately likable and relatable. Anakin is awful 100% through the prequels, Amidala's dry and boring, and Obi-Wan is the only half-decent character in all three movies and even he's pretty much a nitwit just for ever even associating with Anakin.
To be honest, the only character I came away from the prequels liking more because of them was Palpatine because he found himself surrounded by morons and made the best of it. The genocidal, megalomaniacal best of it.
If fact, I'm just sticking with that. Palpatine was the only redeeming part of the prequels, because he actually schemed and plotted and wasn't just a cackling weird old man asshole who shoots lightning. Vader suffered a serious blow due to how seriously I can take a man who thinks comparing a chick to sand is a decent pick up line, but Palpatine went up a couple of notches there.
scarred:
I thought Obi-Wan was a pretty solid good guy all around, but that's probably just because Ewan McGregor is inherently likable. And Qui-Gon was awesome.
Other than that, yeah, no real relation. Even 3PO and R2's gags got were annoying after a while.
LeeC:
and if you look at it there was no real central character to phantom menace, arguably it was qui gon, but he was so one dimensional and kind of just moved the story along, like obi-wan in a new hope.
Alex C:
I kinda dislike McGregor for some reason, but not really due to Star Wars. I kind of give most of the actors involved with it a free pass, really. If Liam Neeson wasn't particularly interesting me I don't really see why I should expect McGregor to be able to do so with the same writers and direction. Same deal with Samuel L. Jackson. How the hell do you manage to make Sam Jackson with a fuckin' laser sword boring?!
