You know that other Star Wars hype thread is just brimming with positive energy! I'm just brimming with fear, and fear leads to anger, and anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering!!!! so here, post everything you hate about Star Wars!

You know what really irks me? when Obi-Wan deflects Count Dooku's force lightning in Episode II. Yet later, he somehow forgets to give Luke this handy little tidbit. It would have been great to hear: "Hey Luke, before you face down this master of absolute evil with unimaginable power who has abilities that are far beyond your reach and understanding in a battle in which you will decide the fate of the entire galaxy, by the way, you can deflect his death lightning with your lightsaber. Just so you know."

worst. thread. ever.






j/k


So, really assuming this thread flies with the mods - I love Star Wars (hopefully this isn't seen as a threadcrap) the original trilogy, although I realize they aren't the best movies ever. I do loathe the new trilogy, but am hopeful for the final installment. Being a realist though, I can't see it being much better.

I think this thread sums it all up: http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=409162

DOOD What kind of crazy ass threadcrapper are you! I mean Episode III will be sooo stupid! why not just call General Grevious what he really is: Captain Loser McEvil!

thank you for starting this thread. gives us a place to express our disappointment with the prequel trilogy without being told I'm not welcome. so here's a big concern for me: I am seriously afraid that the two minutes of Darth Vader scenes toward the end of ROTS will be mishandled in the usual manner that Lucas has handled much of the last two films, putting a blight on an otherwise legendary character.

Ok, I'll add what I don't like about Star Wars.

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Well for starters, I don't think Obi Wan knew at the time he did that that he could do it. He was probably as surprised as you were. He was just good in hiding it.

As for the advice to Luke, I guess the better one would be, "NEVER throw away your lightsaber just as you're about to face down this master of absolute evil with unimaginable power who has abilities that are far beyond your reach and understanding in a battle in which you will decide the fate of the entire galaxy. That whole 'I am a Jedi like my father before' me speech you've been practicing lately is fine, but like I told your daddy, 'your lightsaber is your life'. He never listened to me and look what happened. *gestures around him* I kicked his ass."

I don't hate Star Wars (well the new ones I despise), I just hate the annoying fans

I hate Star Wars bashers. Does that qualify?

Ok, ok - I do dislike the over-use of Jar Jar in the first movie. I also disliked that Darth Maul had hardly any lines.

I hope you realize that the fanatics make up a very small majority of Star Wars fans. They're just the loudest. Every big franchise has fanatics. Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, and Matrix all have their fanatics.

As for this thread, about all I can add is I hate Jar-Jar and Jake Lloyd's performance. That's about it. Otherwise, I love Star Wars.

Some people really do need to get a life.

I love Star Wars...I love the Prequals....I love George Lucas

Mods, close this thread.

if we posted "I hate the Star Wars prequels" in the other threads, we would've been accused of threadcrapping, so we might as well have our own thread.

Wow, some people's sarcasm detectors aren't quite up to snuff. I guess the line about General Grevious wasn't enough.

Anyway, I'm tired of people who incessantly bitch about how bad Star Wars. Alright, we get it, you hate that rotten little bastard from Episode I that ruined the entire movie for you (Anakin or Jar Jar, take your pick). It's not as if someone's making you go see Episode III, and if you feel that George Lucas owes the world something, then you are perhaps in need of moving out of your parents basement, getting a real job, and growing up.

I don't hate Star Wars, it's fans, or even eps 1 & 2. I'm a sw geek myself, and I'll be at Celebration 3 this year. Jar Jar made me cringe, but then so did the ewoks, the ugnaughts, and the dianoga in the trash compactor. Anyhow, I am tired of people who incessantly bitch about anything.

Other than Jar Jar and the Gungans, who I simply loathe, The prequels have been fine so far. Not the second coming of anything really, just decent little space adventure flicks. I'd put each of them on par with an average episode of Farscape, but with far far worse acting.

And in retrospect, were the originals really that good? No, we were just young.

I liked The Empire Strikes Back. I hated all the others, including the original one. I think Lucas is a hack director who had one really brilliant idea, and since he's a great businessman, milked that idea for billions of dollars.

I like star wars. I don't think they are the best movies ever, but I'd rather watch any of the star wars movies for mindless entertainment than most of the other films that are shoved down my throat. I can see why some people hate the new ones. I won't defend them, but I happen to like them.

so, let me get this straight. If i come here and say, "Star Wars is great, I love it" is that thread crapping?
Because technically this is a thread created for crapping, so if i say something good then Im the asshole...

yes.

Jar Jar Binks comes to mind and the shit acting from that little kid who played Anakin in Ep1. Some of changes that Lucas made for the DVD release of the original trilogy were pretty shit.

There is only one thing that irks me about star wars. Jar-Jar? No, he is tolerable. Jake Lloyd? Nope. Tolerable as well.


Medichlorians

Just ruins the magic and mystery of the force and Jedis. The backbone of the saga. I think future releases should excise any reference to it, ala Highlander 2 and the "from another planet" BS.

in regard to midichlorans in Episode III:
