Star Wars is gay!
shut up, whiny canadian asshat
Peter Jackson and New Line are treating fans like people worth of respect, and offering them as much of the LOTR magic as they can soak up. George Lucas is treating Star Wars fans the way a school bully treats kids in cartoons - turning them upside down and shaking money out of their pockets, all the while trying to dampen whatever Star Wars magic is left with a thick blanket of corporate greed.
Yes, 30 buck DVDs of the same kind of troll fighting action over and over again on yet another weed filled field (for another freaking three hour movie). Oh, I'm in! An exciting opportunity to see the motivation of Peter Jackson's key grip in a special feature? Gimme gimme! Great stuff.
(Summon HEAVY SARCASM) Yeah, they're certainly not milking this LOTR thing at all. DAMN YOU LUCAS! DAMN YOU FOR NOT RELEASING OUR CHILDHOOD DREAMS EXACTLY AS WE WANTED THEM! (Falls to knees) DAMN YOU! You added jawas in the back of my favorite scene! YOU RUINED MY CHILDHOOD!
That Lucas. Bastard. He should be like Peter Jackson, and inspire yet another generation of LARPing. Damn you Jackson. Damn you and your cloaks! Damn you and your little cloak hobbit pins! I've got a +3 bag of overrated for your ass!
What's the difference between Star Wars and LOTR?
Probably that Star Wars invented the genre, and it came out twenty five years ago. Stop talking about Peter Jackson like he is the greatest. All of the effects, design, and big battles that you love so much about LOTR, Lucas practically reinvented after watching all of the old movies like Cleopatra and Ben Hur.
You cant tell me that 25 years ago, when crap shows like Buck Rogers that can't even get make-up right was the only Sci-fi, that the Millenium Falcon hauling ass through the new Death Star wasn't the greatest moment of your kid life.
Now compare that to twenty five years later... Braveheart with orcs. Good. Not the same impact, I dare say.
Comparing Jackson and Lucas is not even a comparison. Jackson is a great director. But saying that all of this LOTR thing is better to its fans pretty much lets that Star Wars convention in Indianapolis rot.
Improving on the innovation doesn't make you better than the innovator.
George Lucas did it first. And did it so well he spawned the entire Hollywood Summer blockbuster genre. Period.
8 million fanboys bitching about who shot first. Get a life. If the specific version of a movie causes so much angst and stress then you simply do not have enough to do.
Go watch LOTR a few thousand times until you feel better
"Showing celebrations elsewhere? Yeesh, people. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO CELEBRATIONS ELSEWHERE."
A.) this was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
B.) Just shut up. Seriously. It's hard enough admitting to being a fan of the original trilogy without people ranting about frivilous, yet easy to debate, topics.
"Derp de derp."
...and Actors that mumble through their lines, rarely have the range necessary for the role, rarer still look ANYTHING like what you'd imagine the characters should look like. Even still Firefly had all the problems tv sci-fi has: poor production designs, lame plot contrivances and predictability.
It's a great show. Whendon's writing and the core 'ideas' are it's strongest points. Too bad the cast is so horrible.
considering the only part of the emporer in ESB is his voice, you lose, you fucking dork
You reply to someone's comment, they mod you troll.
They never moderate the islamofascist terror-appeaser troll, however. Nosiree.
