I second the motion. Now I want to watch the OT and the first Alien

Those are great 8th! And I just love that hatch in the AT-AT stop motion miniature set.

Thanks for sharing that!  I'm always in awe of how time consuming it was and how meticulous stop motion animators needed to be. I have such respect for them.



This is just so frustrating to read...

• Disney CEO Reveals George Lucas' Reaction To STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS; "There's Nothing New"
  
  
  Disney CEO Bob Iger : "The truth was, Kathy, J.J., Alan, and I had discussed the direction in which the saga should go, and we all agreed that it wasn't what George had outlined. George knew we weren't contractually bound to anything, but he thought that our buying the story treatments was a tacit promise that we'd follow them, and he was disappointed that his story was being discarded. I'd been so careful since our first conversation not to mislead him in any way, and I didn't think I had now, but I could have handled it better. I should have prepared him for the meeting with J.J. and Michael and told him about our conversations, that we felt it was better to go in another direction. I could have talked through this with him and possibly avoided angering him by not surprising him. Now, in the first meeting with him about the future of Star Wars, George felt betrayed, and while this whole process would never have been easy for him, we'd gotten off to an unnecessarily rocky start."
  
  "Just prior to the global release, Kathy screened The Force Awakens for George. He didn't hide his disappointment. 'There's nothing new,' he said. In each of the films in the original trilogy, it was important to him to present new worlds, new stories, new characters, and new technologies. In this one, he said, 'There weren't enough visual or technical leaps forward.' He wasn't wrong, but he also wasn't appreciating the pressure we were under to give ardent fans a film that felt quintessentially Star Wars. We'd intentionally created a world that was visually and tonally connected to the earlier films, to not stray too far from what people loved and expected, and George was criticizing us for the very thing we were trying to do. Looking back with the perspective of several years and a few more Star Wars films, I believe J.J. achieved the near-impossible, creating a perfect bridge between what had been and what was to come."

Then maybe he shouldn't have sold Lucasfilm to Disney so he could have made another trilogy as awful as the prequels were.

Hey mister, I love Revenge of the Sith!  And it's 10 times better to me than anything Disney produced!

[Mr. Clemens]

My only gripe with the ST is the same as George's. Combining the world-building of the PT with the charisma and energy of the ST would have been the ideal way to go. But, spilt milk n' all that.

Attack of the Clones was awesome when I was a kid. Revenge of the Sith is still overall good to me. Heck I actually like the Clone Wars universe, the animated series/movies were fun, but I had some issues with certain things that were present on the movies.

Episode I bored me even as a 5 year old though.

And Podracing, don't forget Podracing.


And journey through planet core, don't forget that one too.

Those 5 minutes of the last fight were great, everything else... meh. I haven't watched the full movie in like 10 years I think. Despite being the first SW movie I saw, there is not much nostalgia on that one.

To me those were just okay.

I think Darth Maul's total screentime must have been 5 minutes.

I would had loved for him to be the main villain for the trilogy with Sideous quietly pulling the strings. It would have been interesting to see Maul tempting Anikan to the dark side.

Yeah, having a new villain for each third of your trilogy isn't really getting the most out of the trilogy format.
