Shameless Lucas resell --->Yeeessss

Will I fall for it? ------>Yeeeesss (unfortunatley :( )

I don't know .... I liked AOTC MUCH better than Ep I, but I still didn't like anywhere near the orig 3 ....

Lucas is just a greedy B*****d. He's doing it for the money, I tell you!

Is episode II better than that boring episode I?

Oh much ... not the silly kids drivel of Ep1. There is a serious dark undertone to it, which I really liked.

And of course Lucas is a greedy B*****d just looking for money ....he's notorius and shamless about it. Too bad he's also to agrogent to realize that it's the public that makes his stories popular, not him.

A link in the second rant pointed to this site... Quite a compelling argument in support of the Empire. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Too many forced references (R2/C3PO, Tatooine, ect ...) to the origional work. Too many bad instances of time/place humor (It's Celebrity Death Match or Pod Race as it may be! I'm Nick Diamond Good Fight Good Night!) Way to much time on the SFX/CGI not enough on plot char development.
