"Think <I>three foot hemorrhoid</I> and you'll have him perfectly!"<BR/><BR/>Lucas had the enviable task of writing a character who was simultaneously decent enough to raise a child not his own and yet despicable enough to cheer his death.<BR/><BR/>And we thought George Lucas was not a genius.wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15935045.post-1131375640926082512005-11-07T09:00:00.000-06:002005-11-07T09:00:00.000-06:00Okay, Wunelle.

V is considered by many to be the best of the series. <BR/><BR/>I agree that Jar-Jar was incredibly off-putting. Lucas's need to appeal to kids only a couple years ago and now jettisoning those same kids for the PG-13 rating because "the story demands it" seems poor planning at best. But I forgive him.<BR/><BR/>Canary, if you see III or IV, drop me an email and tell me if you think my enthusiasm is misplaced!wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15935045.post-1131300751146324922005-11-06T12:12:00.000-06:002005-11-06T12:12:00.000-06:00I could have done without episode 1 (with the afor...I could have done without episode 1 (with the aforementioned idiotic lemming), and 2 was only marginally better, but episodes 3-6 are some of my favorite movies.

I wanted to throttle that idiotic lemming so bad that I could taste it. And thus, I ended my love affair with Star Wars.GreenCanaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16853115389272100845noreply@blogger.com
