What's your beef with Star Wars?
Turns out my husband's never watched all of Episodes II & III of Star Wars.
Not only was this news to me; apparently, it was to him, as well. We decided to watch the Star Wars saga machete style (if you're unsure of what that means, check out this link); last night, as we sat watching the first half of Episode II, he turns to me and says, "I don't think I've watched this all the way through. I'd remember, because it's really bad."
He then proceeded, after telling me I couldn't sit and complain through the whole thing, to consistently comment on every awkward moment, every poorly written line, every inconsistency in the entire film. All I could do was laugh; he was more entertaining than the movie. But then again, what isn't?
Now, I know there are plenty of people who share my opinion of Episodes 1-3 (they're terrible), but I know there are people who enjoy them as well. That's fair. It is Star Wars, after all. Here's what I want to know: where do you think Episodes 1-3 went wrong? What is it about the films that make them so terrible? Is it bad casting? Bad writing? Poor taste? All of the above? My husband and I have been discussing it, and now I want to know your thoughts. Should these movies have been good, or were they doomed from the start? What, if anything, would have allowed them to stand up to par with the original trilogy?
And please, don't harp on Jar-Jar Binks. That's just lazy. We all know:
