A Guy Just Said to me that Star Wars...

...is nothing but a bunch of puppets fooling around in space.


He also is a Star Trek fan.


Should I break the 6th commandment? "Thou shalt not kill" ??

star wars sucks.
they crapped it with the prequel trilogy, and probably will crap it with the new trilogy.
by the time this trilogy is done only 33% of the star wars movie colleciton will be good.


sometimes people should leave a franchise alone instead of money grabbing prequel trilogy and a new money grabbing sequel trilogy.

I agree that nothing can top IV-V-VI.

I never understood why any adult would like Star Wars. Nostalgia?

Anakin/Vader, Yoda, Luke, the concept of midichlorians and the ability to use the force are the first things that come to my mind. Despite the annoying characters, the technology helped the I-II-III and will probably help VII too. There are always documentaries if you can't stand fiction and fantasy.

to me it is always 1 2 and 3.

I love fantasy and fiction. Star Wars is just about the most boringly conventional, and utterly commercial, set of movies out there. You can't go any simpler with the "hero's journey" than that. And to add that large chunks of the movies are there only to sell toys to children... I just don't get it.

Star Trek, while campy as ****, appeals for its spirit of science and discovery. It is great introductory sci-fi.

But whatever, to each his own I suppose.

New trailer looks great. Pretty much everything they have shown so far looks top notch and not cheezy or filled with bad CGI (the things that haunted the last 3).

Siro and Dutch are basically dumb. To each his own, but you are hating on a timeless trilogy of movies that still stands the test of time.

You want to hate on the recent 3, fair. I don't really like those movies either, but to try and put down the original 3 is just laughable attempt at being a giant douche.

If you want to say they are overrated, fine. It's hard not to be overrated when there is such a feverish, over-the-top fan-base, but to say it's "just about the most boringly conventional, and utterly commercial, set of movies out there. You can't go any simpler with the "hero's journey" than that. And to add that large chunks of the movies are there only to sell toys to children... I just don't get it." is just ridiculous.
