We started at 11.30am. It is now 11.30pm and we have just started Episode 6: Return of the Jedi.
It has been a lot of fun and I'm not going to surprise anyone when I say that the original trilogy is better than the prequel trilogy. But maybe not for the reasons you think (bad acting, too much CGI, REALLY bad dialogue, heavy-handed exposition, Jar Jar Binks!).
No.
It's because I wasn't a child when the prequels came out and that is who they are squarely aimed at. As was the original trilogy. But I WAS a child then. I wonder, if people that were children when the prequels came out prefer them and think the original trilogy is dated?
I like Star Wars. I don't LOVE it, but I do like it. My hubby LOVES Star Wars. He is one of those fans that bought the original videos. Then bought the remastered re-release videos. Then bought the DVDs. And then the blu-rays. Then we went to the cinema to see Episode 1: The Phantom Menace in 3D. I have watched this and thought:
"Madness"
But then, I own 5 different versions of Serenity in various formats, so I'm not in a position to really criticise.
