Hola. I'm a guy that loves the Star Wars universe and refuses to accept George Lucas' version of the events that took place. Simply put... he got it wrong. I have to tell myself this because its the only way I can sleep at night. He just got it wrong.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" was such a brutal line I actually covered my face in fear that people might actually see me in the theatre watching this crap only 3 days later. I slid down my chair to the point where the person behind me had no trouble whatsoever seeing the big screen. Vader was a total wimp. Ya know who he reminded me of? Evil Emperor Zerg. Yes. Darth Vader of Episode III reminded me of a cartoon character that was a spoof of the real Darth Vader. I was just waiting for Woody and friends to come into the screen and start singing,
You've Got a Friend in Me. I was totally flabbergasted when the misrepresentation of Emperor Palpatine did NOT pick up his foot and find ANDY scrawled all over it in felt pen.
Buzz Lightyear would have fit in perfectly with those corny Jetson-style droids and the ridiculous Jedi dialogue.
As a member of the elite Universe Protection Unit of the Space Ranger Corps (read, Jedi Order)
, I protect the galaxy from the threat of invasion from the Evil Emperor Zurg (read, Sith or Seperatist Droid Armies)
, sworn enemy of the Galactic Alliance (read, Galactic Senate)
. And what was wrong with the stupid Jetson-droids anyways? A droid built, I assume, for the sole purpose of being a midwife, that has to ask a Jedi whether the child is a boy or a girl? What do they do when a Jedi isn't hanging around? Guess?!
The Dune theft was pretty bad. This
website gives you some idea of how much Lucas stole. Ignore the Lucas-love and you might find out something new. I can't remember the flying machines... but yet another theft. Not only did Lucas steal the good ideas, but the bad as well, such as the prophecy garbage...
QUOTE
Plot-wise, the biggest problem with this project is the same problem I've always had with Dune; prophecy is a lousy mover for a story, neither imaginative nor logical, and every time I see it used in a movie or a book I come away with the same impression, that the writer couldn't think of any other way to get people to behave in ways which are totally contrary to their good sense. I know, I'm harping on this story for being what it is, but I've gotta be honest on this one.
