I have seen part of that holiday special. It was terrible. They had to get chewy home for Christmas. Who knew he had a family. I don’t think any of the major stars wanted to do that piece of crap and yet they had to. If I’ve been carry Fisher might’ve Been on drugs, too to get through that shoot.
Get a life. It’s a movie.
A New Hope is my favorite also, for the same reason you said. It stands up by itself.
Some things are so bad they're good.
That was so bad it was bad. I watched the whole wretched thing, waiting for something redeeming to come out of it ... there was none.
No contest. Mary Ann.
Just to clear, it was to celebrate "Life Day". There was no celebrating Christ in that holiday.
It's odd to hear interviewers decades later ask the actors about the "Star Wars Christmas Special" when it was distinctly not about Christmas, even though they launched it to coincide with it.
I cannot recall which film, but the three of them jointly appear to Luke, or maybe to Rey.
Bottom Line...
Darth Vader seems to have been rehabilitated as young Anakin in the spiritual Here-After.
It's amazing that Hollywood executives tell viewers exactly what they think of themselves and movie viewers and the viewers don't want to believe it.
If fairness, George Lucas destroyed it before she even got her hands on it.
Materialism vs. faith
Wasn’t Jor-el in that appearance with Yoda and Obi-wan?
It happened in Return of the Jedi.
In my yout it was always about Mary Ann. But now in my 50’s there’s something to be said about a tall readhead, even if she’s higher maintenance. I’ll take the bombshell even if she’s trouble with a capital G.
i always wanted the star wars legacy to do a full circle like the planet of the apes movies... where jedi loyalty would lead to universal oppression and someone would need to bring balance to the force... enter anakin skywalker.
If you mean with his three prequels I totally agree, I find them unwatchable. The only good film not directed or written by Lucas was The Empire Strikes Back. ‘
Still Star Wars could have been fixed to a degree but as of now it’s dead in the water.
NickCarraway's "Materialism vs. Faith" is right. With the second trilogy they sucked the magic out with the midichlorian explanation and thus spoiled the wonder that enthralled many fans. BTW - "The Empire Strikes Back" is still 'the ring that rules them all'.
I really like the original trilogy. It is a tossup between first two as to which one is the best. My favorite scene is the battle on Hoth at the beginning of the Empire Strikes Back.
