I’ve lost my interest in Star Wars, but as much as people hate me for it, I loved the prequels, even episode 1 (I know, I know, “The @*^$ is wrong with him!?”. I think people just like to start stuff. It’s just like with the church and Harry Potter.

The title is presented like this is a court case.

And in a court case there are people who will represent BOTH sides to present their case. Some people in the trailer support the fandom while others dont.

Its an honest look at both sides. So yes… you missed the point. So you don’t know.

rodney

so your saying a movie called “the people vs george lucas” ISN’T in one part about certain fanboys who think something WENT WRONG about the new movies??

with lines like:
how can he not feel bad that people who love you and worship you like a god turn against you

AND:has he fulfilled his destiny or destroyed his legacy

but you know i “obviously missed the point”, so what do i know

Auctioned off? You would like to have your properties just tossed to the wind on the off chance someone MIGHT do something with it?

Maybe it does get auctioned off and someone shifts the focus to make everything about Jar Jar??

Its better off in Lucas hands for better or worse. You can’t please everyone. But it can be worse.

CGI only works for backdrops and action sequences. Other than that – go back to the puppets! The technology has greatly improved since the first trilogy. Imagine what they could do with the right combination of CGI and puppet animatronics. Then get out of the CLONE WARS era. Very boring – and no one cares. Still love Stars Wars – always will.

alfie – can you imagine how meaningless the trilogy is to kids who have seen the prequels first? hahaha. that is just sad to think about. As for the argument above with the love them/ hate them stuff, i do get the point that some people may be jumping on the hatred bandwagon, but i do not entirely see the point that people saying that the last three films suck, means you actually in some way liked them. I am not one however to harp on it. I didn’t like them very much, so that’s that. I can’t see watching them again b/c to me they have no replayability. Unlike “the only’s”. I could watch one of those three every day! But this is not to blame on George, he was gonna make those films sooner, he didn’t have the time. He’s said this in many interviews.
And since technology had advanced to where film making became ‘easier’, and computers had entered film making to ultimately forever change the industry, things are different when it comes to fantasy type movies. Graphics replaced puppets, and for one i think that real looking creatures became fake, unrealistic cartoons instead of something you could picture running into in a weird part of an unknown planet. Say, how Yoda changed from the first films to the last (made).
Yoda appeared very real to me in Empire, but then was just a 3D boring and uninteresting cartoon in the prequel films.
Also, many many films of today feel fake and i gloss over today b/c their characters being computer generated mean nothing, the viewer does not care about them if they do not seem real. It’s a plague, it’s not Lucas. How many muppet tv shows and various puppets in various movies did we all gravitate to as kids b/c they looked real? This doesn’t exist anymore, it’s a shame.

It would be incredible to see the rights to star wars auctioned off to someone or some great film production company so that one day another truly great and revolutionary film director could breath new life into the awesome universe of star wars.

i am not denying loving star wars. i will always love star wars. but when i talks star wars there are only three films for me.

“the only’s” as i like to call them

but the way that guy phrases the sentence makes it sound as if he thinks people say they love they hate the prequels but actually love them and that annoys me.

plus my kids are not going to get to watch the prequels. not on my watch anyway. if they see the prequels first then one of the greatest moments in cinema history is completely ruined.

If you watch them in numerical order for the first time vaders revelation to luke at the end of empire is ruined.

I will watch this film, I need to understand how these hardcore fans think. I personally think that they were all good.
