WHY IS EVERYONE SO BLIND TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY CAN'T SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF SPECIAL EFFECTS

SERIOUSLY THE 1-3 TRILOGY WAS MADE RECENTLY AND THEREFORE HAS MODERN CGI AND poo poo AND THEREFORE HAS LESS CHEESY SPECIAL EFFECTS THAN THE 4-6 TRILOGY

ONLY non-heterosexual personS CARE ABOUT ACTING AND STORYLINE

are you agreeing with this, I can't tell

woah that post is from 2008

I looked at the topic where it came from, it was back in the age where meep didn't talk properly

1-3 were pretty good as films in their own right, especially 3.

They made a whole movie about the fanbase and their opinions on Lucas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_vs._George_Lucas) and as I understand it it's not entirely negative.  People like the Red Letter Media reviews because they laid out the glaring flaws of the prequels, putting words to the general bad feelings fans get from watching them.  They're filmmakers and know what makes a good movie (even if they can't make one themselves) so the stuff they say makes sense from a technical perspective.

I can't blame the fanbase for being perpetually bitchy about the prequels.  They totally gutted the fantastical universe of Star Wars and are really bad films in general.  What's worse is that Lucas is to this day retooling the old films and removing nostalgic charm with every bizarre alteration he makes.  It's not like Star Trek where the source material is stupendously cheesy, so Star Trek fans don't care that all of the TNG movies were really stupid (the Red Letter Media reviews of these are pretty great too, though a lot more nitpicky and lore-related).  The whole ordeal is pretty much indefensible from Lucas' side, he clearly just wants to make more money and doesn't give a damn how his fans feel about it.  I'd be really mad about it too if I cared that much.

I want to tear out Lucas' throat in a street fight—and then fill the hole with scraped out black lung and light it on fire.

i said it once, i'll say it again

red letter media is goddamn hilarious
