Finally saw it

I wish more movies looked like that without all the grain, crackles, pops, etc. Well Lucas didn't let me down. He proved yet again that he shouldn't be directing and writing Star Wars movies. With the exception of a few bright spots, the dialogue and acting were bad. Ian McDiarmid and Evan McGregor were the best performances followed up by the brief appearance of Christopher Lee. Anakin's turn felt very quick, like he thought "Oh what the fuck, why not?!" Considering how pregnant Padme was she ran surprisingly well down the ship landing plank towards the end of the movie. Overall an okay movie, easily the best of the prequels. I can't help to imagine what those would have been like if Lucas had writing partners and directors to help him, not just for simple tweaks but overall different films. sigh One can only hope that if the recently talked about prequel to the prequels and fan desired episodes seven through nine ever see fruition, that Lucas keeps his dirty hands off them for people that can do better. When all six movies are reissued in HD I'll probably only buy the original trilogy. Regular DVD is good enough for the second trilogy. lister

You'll have to troll eBay for pre-edit versions. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]

I have the actual original unmodified movies on widescreen VHS which are stored away sealed in a box never to see sunlight again. I'm just saying that when the six movies are released in HD I'll just get IV, V and VI. lister

My bet is that Lucas releases all six films in a single pack, without releasing any DVD singles. They are already out there in DVD singles, at least the first two prequels are. The OT was released in the 4 DVD set, and probably won't be released in singles, at least I would doubt it. But I'm sure Sith would be released by itself as a DVD single, I can't see him being ready for the box set of 6 later this year, not if he wants to get all the stuff in that he wants to put in it. I saw Sith again on Monday, and caught a lot of the neat things Star Wars Fans look for that I had missed the first go-round, like a cameo of the Falcon. ;) Brenda Don't mind me, I'm playing in VI!

For consistancy, they should have replaced both Yoda and Obi Wan as well.
