It should be said that anyone that is expecting the magic of the; shall we say ORIGINAL HOLY TRILOGY, in this new trilogy is out of your mind. Many of us fans were pre-teen and young teens when it hit the screen. I was 3 when the FIRST STARWARS came out. I fell asleep during it, but hey I was 3. That TRILOGY took came out during the most impressionable years of my life. That fact, coupled with the changes in filming technology over the years, makes it almost impossible for the new trilogy to break any new ground. So the best way to enjoy these new movies is to love the parts we've all been dying to see, and just understand that Mr. Lucas wants to tell us his story his way. And for all the crappy parts; E.I. JarJar, and lovey stuff, its part of this story, get over it. The Ewoks were stupid too. Now for my attack.
What can you do with a story when everyone knows the out come and everyone crapped all over the 1st part? Add a Fett or 2 or 2 million, more Jedi’s kicking more ass; especially Yoda, and don't start filming till Natalie Portman has developed in to a woman. These are the things that I really liked about CLONES. The pain fully long love development scenes are key to the story but, I think that it did not need this much screen time. We know they are gonna fall in love and make lil Jedi. We just don't need this much setup. I also think that Mr. Lucas' choices for the young and younger VADAR have been bad and worse. This new incarnation of the Dark Master might be great for Bop magazine, and will surely make the Top 10 Sassiest guys of 2002 List. But his acting had me thinking this guy is truly the teen version of the Anikin we saw racing pods, but nether of them is the bad ass we grew up with. The 3rd Episode will have to be really dark and really violent, to make this trilogy come close to the ORIGINAL. But just a note to all the fans out there. Watch these movies for the parts that we really wanted to see and just know that nothing will live up to what we have all created in our mind. As I said this is Mr. Lucas' story, let him tell it his way and be glad we got to see Yoda Kick ass. The smack down on your ass I will put!
Monday, May 27, 2002 Recipe for fun.
Get together 14 of you friends; best if they don't all know each other, add games, alcohol and no air conditioning. B.Y.O. fan. And you've got your self a party. Mista jazz and I attended such an event Saturday night. I had hoped to have fun but I wasn't sure about the people in attendance or the atmosphere. Would we know anyone? Is this gonna suck? Is a 12 pack of BPR enough? Luckily we got there just in time to play "Catch phrase". You’re given a word then you must get the people on your team to guess what the word is. As soon as they do you pass the little machine to a person on the other team, then they try to get their team to guess the word given to them. Rinse and repeat. While the machine is giving out words or phrases, it is also timing down (time length varies). When the time is up, the team not playing at that moment gets a point. Do you get the point? A fun time was had by all.
