I watched Star Wars Episode 2 again today. In the past, I have defended Lucas because of all the things he's given me, characters and stories that have shaped me and given me great happiness. I have been loyal, and I have suffered and endured patiently. But no loyal servant deserves that. That movie is a travesty against the name of cinema. Not only is the dialogue horrible, the logic is completely incomprehensible. Why is there a secret army no one knew about? Why does Obi-Wan traipse around the galaxy following half-baked clues like a Jedi version of Carmen Sandigo? Whyyyy? Why couldn't they just debate and decide to FORM an army, rather than have to decide whether to USE THE ONE THAT MAGICALLY APPEARS? I believed in you, George. I TRUSTED YOU, GEORGE!
Hey, dont you dare drag Carmen Sandigo into this! :)
ReplyDeleteI think that the Darths & Droids version, while horribly convoluted and confusing, still makes a lot more logical sense and makes for a better story than the actual movie.
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that, Kyle!
ReplyDeleteDon't give in to hate. That leads to the Dark Side.
