So in Star Wars Episode 1, Qui-Gon seems to be mind-tricking Boss Nass into giving them a transport, which Boss Nass does, but when he tells them the quickest way to Theed he seems to announce it sinisterly like he is planning for them to die down there. So my question is, was it just to put emphasis on it or was Boss Nass playing Qui-Gon for the fool, making him think the mind trick was working?
 
I think it was just putting an emphasis on it to give it a more foreboding air. I doubt Boss Nass was that much of a douche.
 
Phantom Menace was awesome bro, Episode II? Eh... III? Eh...
 
The original trilogy was awesome.

So much more heart.
 
Maybe because I never witnessed the older movies when they were new and without the prequels on the horizon, but I found very little wrong with Episode I, and beyond the acting and script there was little to make II and III worse than any other Sci-Fi movie. Jar-Jar sucks, I get it.
 
Being a creepy weirdo who owns a comic book shop has been my secret dream ever since I first saw Comic Book Guy in The Simpsons...
 
The only real reason I like EP I is for Qui Gon Jinn, EP 2 for Yoda flying around like a god damn boss, and EP III because the scene Execute Order 66 makes me cry.

Everything else, meh.
 
My biggest pet peeves with the new films are:

a. Jar-jar. CP30 was annoying enough already, and nothing they could ever create would top Chewie, so why did they even try...?

b. The chick-flick, teen-drama-level of sappy lovescenes. I just kept hoping and hoping that they would end and he'd turn into Darth Vader already.
 
Well you do have to admit that the entire Star Wars saga was made as a kids film series really, even George says that. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the hate, if it is Nostalgia then I can understand that, but the prequels don't seem any worse than a campy sci-fi movie. (I saw the original trilogy before the others by the way.)
 
Because the original trilogy deserves much better than a "campy" couple of sequels.
 
i never saw the original trilogy as timeless. yeah, it's holy to a lot of people, but if you weren't around when it came it it'll never be as sacred as it was to the people who were around at the time. take it from me, i saw it when i was 3 or 4, on the big screen for the digital remaster theater release, and at an age young enough where the more modern stuff hadn't impeded the experience. the older movies are not a land mark in my eyes and the trilogy that came out while i actually was alive was utter garbage. episode III had a shot at being decent, but then they had hayden christianson playing the most central role so that kind of got lost.

it's all in the past if you ask me.
 
The past is better than the now.

Much, much better.
 
You have to admit... EP III isn't so bad to compared to the other more recent movies... it's more dark and sinister, still with a bit of sh**y romance with Padme and all that but, yeah, it's the best out of I II and III... isn't it?
 
I personally liked Episode I best, Liam Neeson was one of the better actors in the new trilogy, it felt closer in style to the old films in my opinion, the action was good, Darth Maul was cool, etc.
 
I liked all movies. And yeah, I have to admit, I saw them in the chronological order (I, II, III, IV, V, VI), so I don't have that nostalgic feeling or whatever from long ago, that was somehow supposed to be crushed by the release of more Star Wars. I really can't get my head around it.
