c'mon the six movies were brilliant, maybe they needed a little more dialog but it would've extend the movie too much; perhaps the first is my favourite

"You bet yer ASTEROID, Kid!!" XD I remember when they used to show this on HBO! Of course, they probably won't admit that now... Thanks for posting this--my sister and I loved it.

I love this, it is so hilarious. Honestly, this really is brilliant for its time.
LOL! LMFAO! Glad you put this here and glad George Lucas allows this stuff, marvellous!
By the way I love the Original Trilogy better, because it had a better story, cast, crew and because it had a really good classical theme. I do enjoy the Prequel Trilogy, it's just, it wasn't that great. Digital effects is one thing great. Diologue and enthusiasm, thats something different.
Darth Oxillious out.

I too remember this from my 30+ childhood. It still cracks me up

I remember seeing this in Kindergarten, about 30 years ago, and we thought it was the funniest thing ever... but am not sure how I remembered to think to look it up again... lol

Yes, we're saying the same thing now. I didn't say the stories were bad. I think the story, especially of #1, was great. It's the story-TELLING that was bad, for some of the reasons you said. Dialog is a huge part of it, but not the only one--pacing, character development, etc, all are important.
But anyway, we're on the same page. I especially agree with you 100% if he would have simply hired professional screenwriters and a professional DIRECTOR, they would have been great.

I thought the stories themselves were fine, they were just undercut by ruinous dialog. Had he hired a professional screenwriter to stick to his outlines but give realistic sparkling dialog, most of the complaints would vanish.
This explains SW's popularity overseas. Some countries get only subtitles, so they dont actually "hear" the dialog, and therefore miss a great deal of the corniness. Go watch a foreign subtitled film. Some of them have atrocious dialog, but no one ever notices. |
