The first 3 films were the best undoubtedly. I think Empire Strikes Back was the best of them all.

The prequels were stupid. And I think the actors couldn't carry the roles very well.


I think that's a trifle unfair. Granted, Hayden Chritensen was truly awful, but look at the pap that he was required to deliver!

Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson are all strong performers who bring great skill and artistry to their work. But noone could have turned those sows ears into silk purses!


Yeah I suppose I am talking about Hayden Christenson. I kinda feel sorry for him because it was a big role to play and he was young. But I think he could have been more convincing. Or maybe it was just terrible scripts.

BTW - I thought he was good in Jumper.

Maybe Jumper wasn't a great film but I liked it because it allowed the characters to show off their ability without there being any morality to it. Which is good to see an american film that doesn't have an underlying message of morality.

I took a bunch of video and pictures at Celebration 5. I'll put them up soon. Oh, and I met a Mike Kierulf(Filmmakermike) who is a prominent Star Wars collectibles reviewer on youtube. He interviewed me because I walked up to him after recognizing him. When he's done with that video, I'll put it up.
