Could have been amazing

This trilogy is amazing, Star Wars(not star wars the new hope, its just star wars), Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The thing that ruined the whole star wars thing was the new ones, Phantom Menace and Attack of the clones. Thats Complete B S, There are three star wars, and these last two were just for money purposes, they're horrible movies, thank god they are not in the collection. I mean, come on, who put Samual L. Jackson in a Star Wars Movie and Expects it to be god, bwahahahahahaha. But the trilogy itself is gonna be awesome, except for one thing. put the theatrical releases in there, nobody wants the special edition, it ruins the movie. The special editions aren't classics, the classics are the ones first shown. Who the hell like star wars and complains about the originals. Thanks George Lucas, you sell out. Other then that the DVDs are gonna be great. Oh yeah, and why do they say phantom mennace is the first star wars movie, its not. the first one is just Star wars, you know why, because it came out first, look at the copyright, thats the way it goes. Maybe it was writen first, which i doubt, but doesn't mean that it is the first movie.

The Moose Hole - Send in the 'Clones'

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ...There once was a time when a Star Wars film was met with huge anticipation. The Empire Strikes Back became a huge hit three years after the original A New Hope surprised audiences across the country with amazing special effects and charming characters and story. After Return of the Jedi in 1983, the American public would be without another Star Wars film for sixteen years. It was no surprise that Episode I - The Phantom Menace had a huge opening in 1999. But it is because of that film that Episode II - Attack of the Clones is met with more doubt then anticipation. Sure, there are some things about the film to get excited about. Anakin Skywalker grows up and draws ever closer to his destiny of becoming Darth Vader, the end of the Republic and the formation of the Empire becomes more evident, and the actions that lead up to the events in A New Hope are revealed. But it was the weak dialogue and less then stellar new characters from The Phantom Menace that made fans' expectations of Clones pretty low. But will the film prove those expectations wrong or will this continue the trend of disappointment?The story goes that it has been ten years since the events of Episode I where the planet of Naboo was attacked by the greedy Trade Federation and the training of young Anakin Skywalker began. Since that time, the young Jedi has been under the teaching of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who is still pretty young himself. Anakin soon meets an old friend, Padme, former queen of Naboo, after the two Jedi are called to protect her after a failed assassination attempt. Things go awry when Obi-Wan follows a bounty hunter named Jango Fett and Anakin falls in love with Padme during his absence, which is against the Jedi Code. The dialogue and the plot involving the romantic aspects of the film fall extremely flat but did anybody really expect it to be very good in the first place? This is Star Wars. The core audience is mainly geeks who are just waiting in anticipation to see Yodi with a light-saber. The plot does flow pretty well and doesn't contain as many cut up and forced action sequences as Episode I. Many pieces to the Star Wars puzzle are added which will lead to intriguing events in Episode III. Much of the cast from The Phantom Menace returns in Clones but there are plenty of new members as well. It can safely be said that the acting overall is much better then was presented in Episode I but still isn't at the level of the original Star Wars Trilogy. Hayden Christensen does an exceptional job with the crucial role as Anakin Skywalker. One can make arguments on how Anakin acts too whiny but that has to do with the script rather then Christensen's acting. Natalie Portman is much more mature in her acting then she was in the first prequel. Her constant costume changes do still seem a bit much but not like it was in Episode I. Ewan McGregor, who continues his role as the young Obi-Wan Kenobi, is much surer of himself in Episode II which is better then his flat version in the previous film. Samuel L. Jackson still has the kick butt attitude he gave to his character but this time we actually get to see him wield a light-saber. Frank Oz is still memorable as the voice of Yoda even though the character has become a digital creation rather then a puppet.Overall, Attack of the Clones continues one of the greatest sagas in Hollywood history. There is much improvement in this film from The Phantom Menace but as good as it was, there were plenty of flaws. As it was said before, the romantic aspect of the story does come off pretty flat but who really expects great romance from Star Wars? Though the action sequences involving Jango Fett were very well done, his character's death made the overall effect of the character come off as pointless. Lucas continues to astonish movie-goers with the amazing special effects from Industrial Light & Magic, though it seemed that there was too much CGI at times. The large amount of CGI made it seem more like a computer-animated film rather then a live-action feature film. Speaking of CGI, if you didn't hate him enough from the first prequel, you'll really want to tear Jar-Jar Binks apart in this installment, though his role is diminished a bit. And concerning the fight sequence between Yoda and Count Dooku, as good as it is, the sequence comes off early on as comical rather then dramatic as it is suppose to seem. Beside small mishaps, Attack of the Clones enlivens the Star Wars series with full-blown action sequences and tons of computer-graphic special effects. Episode II definitely doesn't live up to the greatness of The Empire Strikes Back but does make a close second.Star Wars Films of All-Time:
1) The Empire Strikes Back
2) Attack of the Clones
3) A New Hope
4) The Phantom Menance
5) Return of the Jedi

What? ... It's just Unbelievable

The way Lucas makes movies is an innovative and very personal way to make them. He's an independant director (not dependant from Hollywood), wich means that he doesn't make movies for the like of the people. The critics aren't more than the fashion products, but that always changes. That's why he won't listen to them. As I said: he's an independant director.In an interwiew published in the EPS in the April 28th this year, he ex'plains his way to make movies:"All my movies, someway, are speechless movies and they're designed that way. The sound effects and the musical score itself are united in a sound mosaic wich merges with the picture to explain the story.The dialogue is reasonably insignificant. I've never been a great fan of the dialogue. I use it more like a sound effect, like a hint or element to explain certain expoliation points in the plot; but, in the last term, one of the keys is that the expectant can experience these movies onlt through the picture. This is due to the way in wich the story is told through the sound band and the picture. The words, the dialogues are an added that aren't strictly necesary to make the whole thing work. I've always done that and I like to continue doing that. It's my style, tmy tendency. I've passed a long time treating the sound band as an unified all, a mix of effects, music, words... Something almost poetic. The sound is the 50% of the experience".So... What do you think eh? It's not bad acting... it's not that Lucas just lost it's touch... it's his style. It's a very different way to tell a story. Then don't complain if you don't even know how to write of make a movie.

Excellent job

Don't listen to all the purists, you'd think they we were dealing with a rewrite of the bible with the way many have been reacting to the changes Lucas made. Most of the special effects including those from the special addition have been cleaned up a second time as well as alot of small changes have been added in. Over all it makes many of the changes much more sublime and less noticeable while at the same time improving the appearance of the movie.

A steal at $40, a definite must have for one's collection.

Now if we could convince Lucas to go back and change Episodes I & II.
