Half the characters aren't even played by real people. So it's hard to get "into" it. At the time they came out, I was certain that Episodes 1 - 3 were put together on Skywalker Ranch's back lot by a bunch of interns, because otherwise it means that George Lucas has major Alzheimer's. He should have stopped with "Luke, I am your father" because things just went WAY downhill after that.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651926840296438477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031023085524331367.post-7182593671700401682008-04-07T20:20:00.000-05:002008-04-07T20:20:00.000-05:00To Marvin:If I remember right Count Dooku will nee...To Marvin:<BR/>If I remember right Count Dooku will need some major neck bolts to put things back together again…lucky for him a light saber leaves a clean cut…Yes,, some major <BR/>Boo-boos in the casting dept and in the story line of the last<BR/>three films…simpler would have been better and it was the wrong actor for a young Darth Vader…As a galaxy trotting Martian I’m sure you’ve met lots of weird creatures besides us Humans,, and I’m looking forward to reading about them over at your secret "Illudium Pu-36" workshop…..gt281https://www.blogger.com/profile/15727109065110413150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031023085524331367.post-86998109969437214992008-04-07T19:43:00.000-05:002008-04-07T19:43:00.000-05:00"Count Dooku in '08!" He was the only decent actor..."Count Dooku in '08!" He was the only decent actor in any of the last three films, and he has to be older than all the rest of the meat actors combined. It's just a sad commentary on the pathetic state of the thespian craft in the twenty-first century. <BR/><BR/>And seriously, I'd vote for Dooku in a heartbeat over Hill. At least he doesn't try to hide his evilness under a smarmy "mommy knows best because of all my combat and statesmanlike experience" veneer. He's evil, he knows it, we know it, and he doesn't care.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651926840296438477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031023085524331367.post-46225739450594175822008-04-06T17:46:00.000-05:002008-04-06T17:46:00.000-05:00to FaerieKat:She makes Darth Sidious look like a c...to FaerieKat:<BR/>She makes Darth Sidious look like a choir boy…I really can’t imagine 4-8 years of that THING in the White House…<BR/>I almost put myself back in the hospital writing that Blog…gt281https://www.blogger.com/profile/15727109065110413150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031023085524331367.post-37634884116013522682008-04-06T16:07:00.000-05:002008-04-06T16:07:00.000-05:00Nice job of channeling HRM Hillary Dillary.
