So wins my third point. You fail to even try and we all know you're full of crap in your insistance that you can write a better script. :)

:beer:


who is we? If anyone disagrees w/ the fact that I could write a better script than lucas (w/ or w/o contracting the authors of the expanded universe) has please post now and list your reasons... I left you several outs Nik... you really should quit while your ahead...

That's because 20 years pass between EP3 and EP4.

If you're not going to show your apparent skill over Lucas, I'm simply hard pressed to believe that you have the ability to write a move series so good that it'll earn anywhere near what Lucas has earned with his skill. Sorry, but if you could do that I highly doubt you'd be sitting on your ass where you are right now. :)

The writing in the Star Wars movies (all except V IMO) isn't very good, especially for such highly rated movies. The story and idea behind them, however, are unparalleled, and Lucas deserves his millions (billions?) for that.

the original idea? no, I couldn't come up with better... but go watch the making of the original trilogy from the rerelease dvds you'll see how much sh!t the directors of rotj and esb talked about georgie's scripts and how they modified the scenes to make sure the movies didn't suck horrible HIV infested A$$

Do you realize that SW Ep4 was directed by Lucas? You should know that since you've read the 20 books and saw all the DVD extras, not like anyone can't see it; but we do have lives to enjoy. :)

Well what did you expect, you set him up for a "challenge" that is incredibly time wasting, and you knew he wouldn't rewrite the scripts :disgust:

Oh I see. The only way you can successfully call him out is by coming up with stupid challenges that you know will never be met. Good job :beer:

It was no more "stupid" than his claim that he could do a better job than Lucas. :beer:

You shouldn't have to resort to stupidity to defeat it.

I have a hard time taking Nik seriously about anything. Isn't this the same guy that used to get pissy and threaten "smackdowns" over some guy talking to "his" woman?

Fact is, Lucas wrote crappy scripts for 1-3. They could have been a half hour long each of Yoda and ObiWan sitting there silently and he would have made hundreds of millions. It's not the prequels that are the draw. It's the license. Star Wars = Money.

actually I could make a movie 50x better than he could....... I just wish I had gotten the chance so he didn't have to embarrass himself as much as he did. I just lack uber millions of dollars and licensing rights.

EDIT: added "so" and a period (not the kind that requires tampons)

You're the one embarrassed for paying to see the movies, he's laughing all the way to the bank. He could give a sh!t about "DocHolliday's" opinion on the Anandtech offtopic board. 2 1/2 weeks grossing $564,797,846 Worldwide...I would bet you could never release a movie with those numbers.


yup you're right, If I could make movies that bad and have people go and see them i'd LMAO too.... however... last comment = wrong. I would have paid timothy zahn 6- 10 million to write the prequels and made way more than "$564,797,846 Worldwide" and paid somebody else to direct it and on top of that not have had to lift a finger. But, I still could have written better movies by myself than lucas did w/ the prequels.

Prove it.

Rewrite the prequels.

This is the only way. If you do, great. If you try and fail, we'll all laugh at you. If you don't even try, we'll know you're a liar.

okay better story... delete padme... make it simply a lust for power w/ a minor love interest on the side more on par w/ what hitler had w/ eva brahm(sp) and perhaps keep some of the elements lucas though tof. second... delete lines that say "no i love you more" and the equivalent. Delete jar jar. Delete stupid little snotty kid. Delete midichlorian reference. Delete chewbacca from teh third movie. Cast actors that don't suck raw flacid 2" penis. stop modifying the original trilogy and work with it instead. dont' use horrible yoda puppet in first movie. make yoda less retarded. don't make the jedi so stupid. use that fast motion special effect like when agents dodge bullets in the matrix for moves the jedi make during lightsaber and other combat. make lightsaber combat meaningfull not just choreographed crap that doesn't fool anybody into thinking that they actually want to kill their opponents etc. etc. etc. and sorry... not enough time to rewrite them for no purpose... nor do I have enough time to make 42k posts... give me another 20 years :p


If only ... Irvin Kershner and Leigh Brackett were here to flesh out your story :D

HA! You were doing ok until you requested 'bullet-time' effects. Those were MAD cool 6 years ago when the Matrix was the only thing doing them. I don't think a single special effect tool has been so overused.
