^ No, I think he means the 2nd trilogy to mean the "New " Trilogy, so Episodes 1, 2, and 3, where Anakin was a bad hair cut and a few wrist scars away from being that Emo kid on the back of the bus no one wants to sit near.

I don't understand how having an old Anakin Skywalker is a plot hole though...Obi Wan was an old man as a ghost, Yoda was old, and Anakin...went back to his 20s? Bull.

 

Not quite a plot hole, but it does add to the while continuity.... anyway, that is because he reverts back to how he was when he was on the good side of the force..... or something like that

Yeah that's what I've been told...AFTER Lucas went and changed it though.

You'd think they'd just be ghosts of what they looked like when they died...or something like what they should look like.

If we were to go back to when Anakin was actually good, we'd have to go back to sometime before Episode II, because by then he was a whiny bitch.

 

But then he was not a proper jedi (and he was a whiny bitch for most of the 1st trilogy) and honestly it does not really matter, and does not really detract or add much to the films as a whole

 

You mean...the 2nd trilogy...

And no, it's not a huge deal, but fans of the 30 year old movie don't want to see random things change. You're not a true Star Wars fan unless you hate George Lucas.

I'm a big a Star Wars fan as they come and I don't hate Lucas, I'm just tired of him screwing with the movies.

If he releases these movies as-is with no more altercations, I have no problem with it.

George Lucas is a miserable pile of secrets.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I actually kinda hope that he adds a little more flash to the lightsaber battles in Episodes 4-6 (not overkill, just a couple of cool moves). Call it blasphemous, but I really prefer the battles in the prequels.

Well guess what. He probably WILL alter the movies somehow, again. Because that's what George Lucas does.

It's like Lucas stumbled upon an awesome sci-fi universe, full of possibilities for stories and legends, got lucky with his first movie, had help on the next two, and then proceeded to hit us in the face with progressively crappier prequels; and then tell us it was all part of his design from the beginning.

And yes, the lightsaber battles in the prequels are kickass...but they don't redeem the movies, in my opinion.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

What about the space combat as well. For me, ep II is just the last 30 mins and the chase scene between obi and jango. He realised that with 3, and just filled it with awesome combat scenes, so he has done some things right (and the guys at Industrial Light & Magic are geniuses)

I don't understand what this "3D" means...aren't ALL movies shot in 3d?!



Words Of Wisdom on 23 July 2008

Who's George Lucas?



superchunk on 23 July 2008

Have you seen the newer 3D movies? They are awesome. If he stayed with the same content and just added the 3D technologies it would be a good thing.

He went back to the time he was still Anakin. JL was saying that the older bald dude was in fact the image of Darth Vader and thus wanted to return his image to that of the Jedi he once was, i.e. his 20's as you put it.
