Ever had something that tasted really bad? I had one of those supersour candies recently, spit it out, and immediatley downed a few salted peanuts to wipe the taste from my mouth. Well, after seeing Revenge of the Sith I immediatly sat down this weekend to watch "New Hope", or as us old people call it, "Star Wars". Dang, it was so good!
The acting was amazing. Alec Guiness IS Obi-wan. The newest movies have even managed to make Mark Hamil look Academy Award level talented. The music is awesome! The effects, though simple, hold up! The passion is palatable! The humor is actually funny! The dialogue believable (Obi-Wan: "Mos Ensley center, You'll never find a greater hive of scum and villany" Classic!) For those of you refusing to let the new movies be dead, go back and watch the old ones right away.
Another big problem in retrospect. Lucas didn't even come close to matching them to the origonals. From Obi-Wan saying he'd never owned a droid or telling Luke his father wanted him to have his lightsaber, to Darth and Leia meeting without even a glimmer or hint of recognition, or the differences in technology (warp drive is tough to calculate); the new movies make the old ones worse due to all the inconsistencies. And that's just in the 1st 15 minutes.
So to rid myself of the evil taste of the new Trilogy I am re-watching the, no longer to be referred to as the original, but the ONLY Star Wars Trilogy. CURSE YOU GEORGE LUCAS!!!!
