Episode III



I don’t need to say that I enjoyed the movie, because everyone that matters is going to see it anyway. I don’t need to say how great the special effects, plot, and story telling were either. Here’s what needs to be said, and it’s not a rehash of what twenty million other Star Wars blogger’s have said.

The Star Wars universe has nowhere else to go. Everything has been explained, and once all the Star Wars fans realize that, they will be very disappointed. The mythology surrounding the Star Wars empire is all tapped out, unless George Lucas decides to make another prequel trilogy, or perhaps a 7 8 9 trilogy. Either is very unlikely, since GL is rich off his fat ass and he and his family of fat ass adopted daughters could easily live off just the royalties for the rest of their lives. He won’t sell the rights to anyone to make the movies for him, because as I just stated, he has enough money to choke Donald Trump.

Truthfully, I would be perfectly happy with the Star Wars story staying just the way it is, with six episodes. Anything additional to the saga would seem almost forced.

That being said, both the Star Wars trilogies are arguably two of the better movie trilogies. Coming up soon, a list of the best trilogies of all time.

For me, its just Godfather vs. original star wars. i was even thinking of doing a post about it a while back. But for me, it is impossible to decide. But i think i'm leaning slightly towards Star Wars.

1. Star Wars
2. Godfather
3. New Star Wars
4. Matrix
5. Indiana Jones

LOTR sucks. and i think "man without a name" is the good, bad ugly triology, but i'm not sure

First off, Indiana Jones is better than the Matrix and LOTR. I would put Back to the Future higher if the third one didn't suck. My list:
1. Star Wars
2. Godfather
3. Indiana Jones
4. Back to the Future
5. New Star Wars
than probably Harry Potter, Matrix, Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop.
But the question is, which trilogy had the best single movie in it?

clearly Godfather had the best movie (or two) among all of the movies in all those trilogies.

And I disagree with the notion that the Fellowship of the Ring sucked. It just so happened to follow the Tolkein books, and the first one does cut off in conjunction with the book.
