Rant
Phil feels that he new movies are okay; Episode 2 was a pile of poodoo. Qui-Gon was terribly under-used, while Mace Windu was incredibly overused and overrated. Samuel L. is a great actor and has the perfect look for Mace, but his acting style clashes. Liam Neesan was awesome as Qui-Gon. Why didn't he come to Obi-Wan apparition style? I know about that throw in at the end of E3, but I doubt that was always there. It was probably thrown in because of people complaining about it. It just felt "thrown in". Why the heck wasn't the Han Solo character explored during E3? He was about 10 years old by that time. That's my main beef with the prequels. Lucas should have called the "Jedi Wars". They focus way too much on the Jedi. That's what was so great about the old ones. There were a few Jedi, and the rest of the movie focused on regular characters and trying to free the galaxy from tyranny. And don't even get me started on Anakin's first duel with Dooku. Most of it was shots of their faces with lightsabers whirling in front of them. Neither was even sweating by the end, and Dooku doesn't even have Anakin on a backstep when he lops off his arm. The only prequels that are any good are the KotOR stories. A Jedi tooling around with average guy type cronies that lend experience. Great fun. Check back later for more rants later.
