Back on topic and well said. Seriously, who cares what GL does with his films as long as someone can still go to the movies and have FUN. I did, well worth the price of admission, end of story.

You're just wrong to enjoy it, Bryan. Stop having fun!

Fun is illegal Bryan. You wouldn't want to break the law now would you?

THIS and THIS. All I can do is applaud...although I will also add that the 3D for me was more effective in the Coruscant shots and some of the Naboo battle scenes than the Podrace which surprised me.

I've made the choice not to go and see it. I'm not boycotting it or anything silly like that I'm just not prepared to spend money on seeing a film i'm not in love with. Will I see A New Hope in 3D.... darn right I will, and thats coming from someone who poo poo's 3D LOL.

Dangelus · February 22, 2012, 01:24:18 PM

Heck, even I'm going to see ANH in 3D! Lol

For me, if I watch anything Star Wars related, that joyous excited child that hides deep within awakens. My stomach tightens and I am the happiest person in this world. And, not a lot can do that for me these days. Star Wars on the big screen?....well the 20th Century Fox fanfare is enough for my eyes to moisten with glee....

Basically, I knew I was going to see Star Wars on the big screen the moment it was announced. I didn't care that it was in 3D. As much as i hate 3D, I wanted to see what Star Wars in 3D looked like. I wanted to see how Lucasfilms 3D compared to the rest.

I'm never over bothered by the changes made to the films. I'm always interested to see what changes there have been made and, admitedly, some are just awful....but some are not. In fact, some have been fantastic and these are always overlooked by some of the so called fans.

I always just want to see what Star wars looks like with the latest alterations. More out of interest. These changes don't ruin the films....they just make some versions of a scene slightly more or slightly less favourable than some other versions

My only regret with Star wars is that the BluRay edition didn't have the theatrical versions available so I can watch the Star wars from my childhood....it's no biggie. I'm sure, because of demand and new projects that need funding, it will eventually come.

.....sorry...I may have wondered off my original train of thought there. Basically, any excuse to see it on the big screen and share this experience with my kids. When TPM came out, Amanda was pregnant with my eldest when we saw it.......my eldest is now nearly a teenager! And I only just got to watch TPM with her on big screen now....

Yeah I see where you are coming from and if Isla was a bit older (shes 2 and a half) i would have taken her but honestly if i'm going to the cinema its for a film I want to see. I've already shown Isla A new Hope and she loves it, i mean asks for it. I put TPM on out of curiosity and she turned away and pointed back at new hope.

My son and I went to see this tonight. It was good fun. He is 9, so never saw any of the SW movies in the theater - so for that alone it was worth while. 3D was great in parts - especially the pod race - and not so great in others. Never the less, we had a good time.

This guy has some interesting ideas about what he would have liked to see in TPM...Some of his points are really astute.

Hind sight is a wonderful thing... :)

Yeah, I saw that video, but I think its safe to say that anyone can write a better Star Wars franchise.
