And for the record (again), I liked Indiana Jones 4 quite a bit.

It's more that you're defending someone against him being criticized because he made some legendary movies.Originally Posted by Sleeve
Which is to say, I don't think you'd take it well if I said you need to interject less in the podcasts. As you've been important to keeping them on track and keeping them running, you're saying I shouldn't be allowed to say "I don't think I want to listen to the podcasts because you kill them for me sometimes."
I have that right to say that, and you have the right to say "Fuck off."
Which is basically what's happening hear, though with a little more visceral interaction between all parties.
The entire saga is about the antagonist, Anakin Skywalker. The movies, especially the prequels, were never intended to be viewed independently. Luke isn't even the protagonist of the original trilogy. He's simply a plot device to further explain the Anakin character's legacy.
Bullshit. Also, Phantom Menace has barely any Anakin in it - until he accidentally saves the world as a 5 year old.
That's probably why the earliest promotional posters had him and nothing else on them.
That's why the prequels are garbage. Honestly I can sit down and watch any of the OT beginning to end and feel satisfied. I don't watch ESB and say, "well this feels like the second in a trilogy", but Ep 2 only makes sense if you look at it that way (and it's terrible). Only the third prequel has anything resembling an arc like dave is talking about. And even that movie is bogged down by the Phantom Menace-ish first half.
I don't dispute that at all.
Star Wars is the rise,fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker, plain and simple.
