The Last Jedi

I rented it... it SUCKED... don't bother.

[Black Diamond]

I am guessing after return they all suck.

Starting after 'Return of the Jedi'... I swear, they've all gone down hill, and I even bought the big expensive collection edition that includes up until these new ones... I read the reviews for this 'The Last Jedi' and they all said it sucked. So instead of going out and dishing out $30 for the 4K disc, I rented the HD movie on my cable on demand, and yeah.... it SUCKED. Star Wars is dead.

I want the first 3 theatrical editions on disc. No bullshit. No Jabba in new hope. Original emperor. Han shoots first. That too much to ask ? :)

I kinda liked it - but what I didn't like: The movie was essentially based on a slow-speed chase.

The movies are based on books. I know George Lucas wrote the original story. Episodes I - VI. I have no idea who wrote the books.

I liked Episodes IV, II and III the best. I'll give VI a partial nod solely for Vader throwing that asshat Emperor down the shaft. Even when you could see it coming it was still one of those " :fu:bad guy" moments. :laugh:

And the original Return of the Jedi, with the original Darth Vader / Anikan Skywalker, that appears in the end, not that punk Hayden Christensen. I couldn't stand him from the first time I laid eyes on him. What a snively little PUNK. It was the biggest farce of the entire movie franchise to attempt to get people to believe that whiny little punk is actually DARTH VADER.

Actually that's a pretty good description of it. It's a low intensity battle scene from start to finish, and it really follows no story line. It just jumps all around.

I think they're just milking it now for everything they can get. I think the writers must think... aaaah screw it, just make up some crap and throw in some CGI and call it good enough.

I hear there's TWO MORE coming out too...

HOWEVER ... I WAS disappointed when they pull off Vader's mask at the end of VI. Darth Vader was played by David Prowse, a former professional bodybuilder who was over 6'. James Earl Jones did the voice. Where they dredged up the kindly-faced third dude is beyond me, but it wasn't David Prowse.

I haven't watched any of the last ones they made. It's turning into a 'Dracula movie". Mom: "Go to sleep. They killed Dracula". Me: "Then why does he always show up for another movie?" :laugh:

Seriously. I saw the first Star Wars in 1977. I was 17. I was over 50 when I say the 6th one. Not sure I'll make it for another 6 :laugh2:

Which one is the sixth one ? Do you mean episode 6 or the 6th to be released ?

[Gunny]

Which one is the sixth one ? Do you mean episode 6 or the 6th to be released ?:slap::drillsarge: Attention to detail, recruit. When noting episodes by their actual numbers, Roman numerals are used to specify. When speaking of the movies in sequential order, Arabic numerals are used.

Drop and give me 20. 4 count.

Do you realize we're a bunch of older guys talking about Star Wars movies in public?:laugh2:

Okay, WHO'S a Trekkie .....

I don't believe in the no-win scenario.

I don't believe in the no-win scenario.The Kobyashi Maru? The first rule of conventional wisdom is it traps you into conventional wisdom. You can beat it by going outside the box.

One of my favorite "unofficial" Star Wars scenes....

Ouch, Me and He ---------- we watched the whole three seasons of TOS. And I had never seen Next Generation because of loyalty to Kirk and Spock, but that softened over the decades and so now we are on Season Three of Jean Luc Picard and friends. (I decided to write out three, Gunny........and avoid both Roman and Arabic numerals. :)

Same with TNG. I saw a couple of the movies until they started saving the whales. Saw some of Enterprise when it was on.

Whales. ROFLMAO. Think that was the voyage home.

I have to admit, I liked Capt Kirk better than Jean-Luc Picard.

Enemy vessel to Picard: We're going to blow you to atoms

Picard: That's hardly civilised of you. Perhaps we could discuss this ....:blabla:



enemy vessel to Kirk: We're going to blow you to atoms

Kirk: Oh yeah? :fu:Scotty, shields up, divert all power to forward phasers,

Scotty: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain

Kirk: Nevermind. Beam me aboard the enemy vessel and I'll kick all their asses myself :coffee2::hyper:
