[QUOTE="Mr. Tie, post: 471404, member: 4388"] Well, a lot of 'blah, blah' about the 'good' things Lucas did to cinematic, but I am glad there are also folks who think he is an old fossil. I admire the OT because I watched it from a child's perspective. It was new for the time and great. But after waiting so long the prequels were fine, hoping that after TPM it would become bigger and greater. But it didn't. After all they are watchable, no more, no less. Different worlds, yes, all fine. Classic? No, not at all. A man or director at that time with more zero's on his bank account than we can dream of wasn't able to keep the true dream alive. He wanted to become independent from Hollywood, but instead he became a capitalist with an urge to perfect his trilogy. Why? Let go, Obi Wan told Luke, but George couldn't. And at certain point he got tired of it and sold the whole damn thing to Disney. Just letting the wicked witch of the West rule it and sell the soul of it to a dodgy franchise. Now we know what this means: a heavily shielded resistance cruiser, but they manage to blow up the bridge (and there goes Mary Poppins... I mean Leia), a borderline Luke who's pissed of because after all this Lucas **** no one leaves him alone (and he is right about that), a Mary Sue Rey, mistress perfect who watched some OT episodes and knows how to handle a lightsaber (yeah, right...) and Ben Solo, the fruitcake with no attitude at all who thinks he can be Vader. My God, it is worser than a mental hospital. Well, thank you Georgie, they all float... [/QUOTE]
