ThrowgnCpr said:The OT certainly isn't perfect, and I don't think it's sacred. That said, editing it to line up with the PT (which in my opinion has few redeeming qualities) is backwards. This is something Lucas has tried to do with each new release of the OT.
Garp said:Fair enough. I recently re-watched all the SW films prior to the release of TFA; I hadn't seen them for years. Episode I is a fun kid's movie (I'm looking forward to showing it to my 6yr old who's just getting into SW; she'll get a kick out of it, I'm sure). Episode II is completely forgettable, but Episode III is great and much better than I remembered. In fact, I probably enjoyed it more than ROTJ.

TV's Frink said:I'm going to go farther than Throw and say this is crazy. My wife and I just watched ROTS last night. We watched L8wrtr's version (there's no way anyone in my house is allowed to watch the original). It's not a good movie. There are some good bits, and some great ideas, but the execution is terrible. The dialogue is bad. Half the movie looks like a video game. The Jedi are absolute morons (my wife complained about this endlessly). Yoda jumps around with a lightsaber like he's got a lit firecracker in his ass. Ian is generally very good but in the final fight with Yoda he cackles the scenery (rather than chewing it) way past the point of insanity. Hayden is out-acted by the few sets they actually built. I could go on but I'm just getting more and more depressed as I type.
