There are no words on how ******ed that sounds.

It's getting better worse. This bloke owns a semi automatic rifle. He seems to actually believe what he's writing too.

The constitution gave us the right to bear arms. Why, to fight off any foreign attack. More importantly, to fight our own government if they try to change or unlawfully oppress the American people. We are at this moment watching this happen right now. We have a putz for a president. He has done more for foreigners than the citizens. He is a gutless pos. He has put in the White House people know to have terrorist ties. He has even stated that he wants to, with the UN, put foreign "armed police" in the US. Why because he knows the US military won't shoot US citizens. So yes we will need fire power to fend off and protect our rights from a foreign invasion from within.

I really shouldn't have started.

Wales knocking the filthy Saxons out

Wont be losing any sleep over ^ in fact probably nod off with a warm n contented smile on my dial.
Rotten luck for the old dart bowing out to the convicts and at Twickenham of all places .
Allow me to get the door for you good sir and let you enjoy a warm QF welcome.

The problem with the prequels were they were too kiddy....they wanted those toy profits

Hadn't seen Menace for years until last night. And yeah, this hit me harder than a Tusken Raider's gaderffii. Hell, could you imagine any of the slapstick crap from the supposed epic Naboo battle scene during the Rebel attack on the Death Star in Star Wars?

Actually, you can see a-lot of the prequels' problems in the first movie. Static direction, clunky dialogue and wooden performances (but, of course, nowhere near as bad!) Really noticeable watching Star Wars and Empire back-to-back on the big screen.

JJ will make us forget the prequels ever happened!

The rot started in Return of the Jedi. Ewoks! Empire was best where Lucas wasn't director and had someone willing to stand up to him. Jedi should have been darker, with one of Leia, Han or Chewbacca dying. Along with either R2D2 or C3PO destroyed beyond repair. It should have been a victory at great cost.

Jesus, it was aimed at early to mid teenagers not adults.

Ford wanted Han killed off but Lucas put the foot down.

Apparently he still does, so Episode 7 might finally deliver.

Harrison Ford is such a grump old man, even when he was young.

Exactly, not at 7 year olds like the prequels. No one is saying they should have been hacked apart with a rusty sword and it have an R rating, but the death of a loved character would have given it real depth/emotion.

Ha! Much loved at the time, though. The audience completely lost its shit whenever they were on-screen. Especially during the battle on Endor when they cut sick, bringing down the Empire with spears and logs.

Guess Lucas tried to replicate that with the Gungans on Naboo. But holy shit, it was pretty juvenile. Also, those slimy suckers are nowhere near as endearing as those fuzzy Ewok bastards.

Gary Kurtz has often cited Raiders as a turning point for Lucas. After that, he apparently just wanted "rollercoasters," eschewing nuance and character work. Alas...

The best thing lucas did for the franchise was sell it to disney...

So much lore

The toys...

The profits from the toys ruined lucas...

He never made a cent from the actual first movie...all his profits came from merchandise

BWAHAHA!!! Ah, Joey. Genius on the field. Peanut off it. He's in a bit of strife, apparently...

Wrong.

It was fantasy for adults. A kids movie for grown ups, not children or teens, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Disagree, there were capable minds at Lucas arts and Lucas film, they just had to bide their time til George took a back seat.

Selling the company is like us saying we should've folded or relocated in the Choco dark days.

Was that ever gonna actually happen?

Everyone into Star Wars should read Darth Plagueis. Well written Star Wars and ties up a LOT of loose ends in the prequels, even stuff like why Maul was so critically underutilised.

I know it shouldn't be up to a (now) non-canon book to fix the main show but it does so anyway.
