I don't understand all the venom related to the last 2 movies.
Lets start with my background-
I saw the original SW in theaters 125 times. Empire I saw 85 times and Return 75 times.
Am I the only person who remembers thinking that "Star Wars" was a goofy name as was "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi"?
The original trilogy was full of excrutiatingly bad dialogue and even worse acting. The only one of the originals that actually qualifies as a good movie was Empire but thats because of who wrote it.
The last 2 movies have also had bad names, dialogue (come on, how many times does the phrase "In Time" have to be used?) and painfull acting.
To wit, the last 2 movies were just as bad as the first 2 movies.
That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy them. I just accepted them for what they were-formulaic space operas that were never meant to be analyzed to death by uber-geeks who think they should have a say into what Lucas does. So everyone should get over it, stop bitching about how bad the last 2 movies were and enjoy them at face value.
Now, having said that let me have all the flames, just try and make them somewhat literate.
