Empire strikes bck still holds up well, and keeps your attention.
Return of the Jedi just gets boring for some reason in the middle.. maybe it's the ewoks fault?
Episode Is just bad.. you can see the Georgie boy just lost what he had originally intended.
Episode II starts to get back to "grass roots" some, and actually holds up fairly well. probably my second favorite next to Empire.
I'm hoping Episode III builds on that a little more.

Garee Do you smoke? The clear plastic on my Yoda Unleashed has no signs of age or fogging, and we don't smoke inside.
I love Star Wars, it's FANTASY. I try not to make sense out of it, because fantasy readily ever makes sense.. Don't try to put logic into something that was made up.
Episode 1 isn't too bad, if you take it how it is.. It was meant to show the finding and START of Darth Vader. Noone really shoulda thought it would be like the originals. Episode II was getting more in touch and in pace because you didn't have a child in the mix, and was geared a little closer to an older audience. Episode III will probably be right there with the originals, and possibly more so because it is the final culmination of what everyone wanted to see.. How Vader became Vader. And the fact it's the only one with a higher rating then the rest of the movies.

And is he 5, 10, or 15 years old, like I was talking about?? Um, NO! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Go into a vintage toy store, and look at the toys. Something from, say 1985 or before. Then tell me plastic doesn't yellow over time.
Or better yet, google vintage toys on ebay, and look at them. He-Man, Major Matt Mason, something with some years on it.
(BTW my stuff is smoke free, and I usually try to keep it out sunlight, to make it last a little longer.)

So um, changing the target audience from sci-fi fans to Kiddies was a good idea? Can you say Jar Jar? Sure you can!
Maybe a Kiddie themed Spawn series would be a good thing then as well??
Storyteller? My ass Lucas had no idea where to go with these movies beyond the second movie. Making up as he goes along? Most definitely.
To keep it toy related Unleashed is the only line of SW that I try to keep up with. The first Darth Vader is the best. It is also more sturdy than the interchangable head version.
If lucas had the sory outline when he made the first film, luke would have never kissed Leia...
And she would never have kissed him in ESB...
Incest and Dismemberment is what SW is all about!
In Ep3 you find out that Yoda is Han Solo's father...
Never said Lucas was a story teller, lol.
And the whole stupid crap about the kissing fiasco.. Now... I've heard of people kissing their siblings before and never knew they were their siblings.. It has happened, why can't it happen in the span of a series of movies? Say for just a moment he did think about more then one or two movies and had the whole thing planned out.. Did Luke know at any point in time until RotJ that Leia was his sister? No. Did she know he was her brother until then? No. If they had known, (unless they are incestious) would they have kissed like that? Probably not. But they didn't know.
