    Let's pretend these movies don't exist

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 9, 2002 | 1 out of 2 found this Star Wars Episodes I & II 2-Pack (1999) review helpful

    The original Star Wars trilogy are probably 3 of my favorite movies. Sure, sometimes the dialog is a bit hokey, and everyone loves to laugh at Luke when he whines, but the story was fresh, and the talented young actors brought so much life and comra...derie to their characters.I was as excited as any life-long Star Wars fan when Episode 1 was coming out. I pre-ordered tickets to 2 shows on the first day. I tried to like it, I really did, but I think George Lucas basically bowed to the power of the almighty dollar and threw together these movies that lack any sort of quality writing, dialog, acting, and story, and basically just tarnish the reputation of 3 of my favorite films.The first movie is painfully slow, and most of the action revolves around an 8-year old boy with the acting range of my Golden Retriever. The only interesting characters in the film are Obi-wan, who stays aboard the ship for 3/4 of the film waiting for the rest of the crew to return, and Darth Maul, who is killed off because Lucas is a fool. The whole midichlorian/virgin birth idea is riduculous, and besides light saber battles, there is nothing worth watching in this film.So then there is Episode 2. Yeah, this one was supposed to redeem Lucas after the poor reviews from the first film, but I actually like this one less. Hayden Christiansen is the worst actor on the face of the Earth. I will not argue this point. It is objective and a fact. Every scene he is in is disturbingly uncomfortable, and he brings down the rest of the cast. Natalie Portman, who puts in a quality performance in the first film, despite awful writing, just stinks in this one, and it's all because of Christiansen. Lucas totally destroys the character of Boba Fett by taking away all of the mystery that made him a fan favorite for years and making him into a ridculous clone boy. I wanted to cry. Sure, some of the light saber battles are cool, and Yoda kicks butt for about 2 minutes, but the embarrassing 'Yoda Man!' commericals have tainted that scene forever.I wish these movies were never made. They have just hurt the original story (and by original I do NOT mean the reissues from 1997. Han shooting second, please!?). It just goes to show that Star Wars fans (myself included) will pay to see any crap with the same name, in hopes that they can relive what was one the best trilogy ever. Do yourself a favor and pick up the originals, and forget this CGI loaded crap. Read more Less

    Unique, ONE OF A KIND Star Wars item for

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 13, 2003

    All STAR WARS fans read this!!!!!I have (1) Limited Platinum Edition Star Wars Porta-Potty FOR SALE!!! Its airbrushed with a Death Star and Space fight scene using 2 dozen unique SW ships and covered with nearly 100 uniquely invidual stickers. Even... more amazing is that George Lucus HIMSELF took a crap in it and AUTOGRAPHED the seat!. The crap has been sealed with shilach and airbrushed to look like Carbonite! Act now! Bids start at $800,000 and a portion of the money will go to save George Lucas's Cyrogenic Animal Farm. Read more Less

    The Best Looking DVD's Ever!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 3, 2003

    Episode II is the first fully digital movie to be released on a DVD and it looks like a differant movie than what it looked like at the movie theaters (if you had to watch it on a regular, old reel screen like me.) Also, the movies kick ass (Darth M...aul and Obi-Wan fight scene, the Geonosian battle, and Yoda and Dooku's battle are some of the best action sequences, ever!) Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 19, 2002

    The feature disk is great but the second disk is awesome. The second disk is actually longer than the feature. I like that because it explain everything about the Attack of the Clones including the kitchen sink. I strongly recommend this not only ...for the feature, but especially the special features.

    Lucas just ain't hungry any more.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 12, 2002

    I have some of the best memories of my childhood that revolved around Star Wars. The movies were stellar and the action figures?- Ahh those were the days. I sat wringing my hands in eager anticipation of the fruits of Lucas' labors. I figured CERTA...INLY if he put together such amazing films 20 years ago, the prequels would cast them into the eternal shadows of history. So opening night I paid the stiff price to see the 30 minutes of previews and an hour and a half of something I cannot describe in any other way than plain ole' garbage. I left that theater head hung low. Ashamed that I was a Star Wars fan. Ashamed that I was a Lucas fan. I gave it some serious thought three years later standing in the line to Episode 2 that Lucas had all the money, technology, TIME and manpower to unleash yet another historic film event with Episode 1, and he blew it. So why was I here? (step...wait...step) After all (step...wait...step) he didn't earn my money from the last flick. In fact the way I saw it, he owed me. (step...wait...step) But I forked over the money this time planning on being stunned into reverence by his skill and talent in Episode 2. And after being sufficently upset by yet another hour and a half of what looked like Cannes Film Festival failures prancing around in an amazing CGI masterpiece, I fled the theater. Two stikes Lucas. And this ain't baseball. So here it is between the eyes. You lost it pal. Whatever genie you let out of the bottle has granted you 3 wishes and left the building. You need to watch carefully as Lord of the Rings teaches you what you already know. It's hunger, that over-budget over-time boss breathing down your neck stress kinda hunger that makes you shine. Without it your just another dime a dozen producer that gave his fans nothing in exchange for what they gave you. Read more Less
