yeah seriously what is it with these 70's movies that don't look perfectly realistic?! What the hell is up with that SCREECH of of tie fighters flying by! Everyone knows there is no sound in space. But anyway, Tom Clancy says the thing about fiction is that it has to be plausible. Non-fiction is another story.
 
Ive never seen the parody thread right on top of the real thread before. I had to do a double take when I read it.

Aside from that, SW was a good Sci-Fi fairy tale. They did not EXPLAIN why things happened (like the light sabers) and gave hokey ways of explaining the Force.

It was only the remakes that focused too much on the special effects (I had no idea that the death star would be so pretty when blown up) and the "prequel" did the same (and also tried to explain things. Mitochlorian count? Is this DBZ??!?) that ruined it.

Oh, that and the sell out on RTJ.

Amazing how a starving artist can produce a good campy film, only to spew crap once he has money (GL).

They did explain the force in EP1. Its a fucking blood disease basically. In the SW books they do explain the light sabers and how they are made. Also, Darth Vader is Jesus Christ????? WTF? He was just put into his moms bun oven. I gave up on SW as soon as they made the special editions. I still have the purest/cleanest versions of ep 4, 5 and 6 on laserdisc.

I am getting the new blue-ray set for Christmas but I want those so bad. I cant seem to find them anywhere. Ill even buy them on VHS if thats what it takes, even though I would prefer DVD since who still has a VHS player.
