New Star Wars Series "In Development"

Guess what heat is.

A plot device?

Heat was a great movie starring Robert Deniro and Al Pacino.

Good actors != good acting. Jackson's and MacGregor's performances in particular were pretty lousy. I put this down to Lucas' direction - even the actors who like him admit he gave them pretty much nothing to work with.

Jackson didn't say motherfucker even once. Wasted opportunity for a Jedi.

[Rumpy]

None of the actors in the prequels cared, it shows right on film. Lucas gave them drivel dialog, they recited it in an empty room and the next 18 months was post production. I can't believe anyone thinks episode 1 is good, I've sworn to myself that I'll never watch that trainwreck again.

If we're going to start objectively grading Star Wars movies based on acting quality the prequels beat the originals:

Great actors with major roles in the prequels:
Samuel L. Jackson
Ewan McGregor
Liam Neeson
Ian McDarmid

Great actors with major roles in the originals:
Alec Guiness
Ian McDarmid

Don't forget Peter Cushing and Billy Dee Williams from the original trilogy and Christopher Lee from the new one.

Jackson didn't say motherfucker even once. Wasted opportunity for a Jedi.

Word, he missed the perfect chance when he beat Palpatine.

Did you see that show on the History Channel - yes, the History Channel - titled "Star Wars: Legacy Revealed". it aired in late May.

Is that the one that came with the latest Original Trilogy box set or something entirely new?

Is this going to be a teen drama? That would be hilarious. Have the newest emo rock band guest star.

Comic covers my complaints...
Internet nerds, you'll never enjoy this shit if you keep casting a critical eye.

I've always thought the "Tales Of..." books would make a good tv series. They're short stories of the backstories/side stories of minor characters from the Cantina, Jabba's Palace, the Bounty Hunters, etc. It's good stuff. No really.

Is that the one that came with the latest Original Trilogy box set or something entirely new?

Nah, it was a show that aired in conjunction with the 30 year anniversary of the original Star Wars.

Here is a link describing the program. I'm pretty sure you can buy the DVD online though.

All I'm saying is I like Star Wars III-VI. They are good, entertaining movies.

Didn't you go through a phase a couple of years ago when you talked about how A New Hope was terrible?

Regardless, III is pretty good but still has that GREEN SCREEN digital sheen that bothers me a bit. I also thought the Anakin -> Vader transition went a bit too quickly. Maybe I just wanted to see more Vader in III. But this is probably just my critical nerdeye shorting out. But writing off III because they were down too close to the lava is retarded. Who wants a climactic battle a safe distance away from lava?

You know what? Sonic the Hedgehog sucks too.
