Star Wars: The Complete Saga (1977-2005)

First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's ****ed up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.

Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.

I don't want to go into to many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so ****ing beautiful that I watched it twice. (probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy **** went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).

Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.

My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to **** her brains out. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.

After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.

Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.

My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was ****ed up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.

Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever ****ing seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.

A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.

But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him.

That ***t was so ****ing funny, I loved it!!!

Well, it should certainly be more dynamic, but the mix is the mix. Tell you what, I can't wait to see the ROTS opening on BD in all its lossless glory! Drums, Anakin and Obi-Wans Jedi Starfighters coming in, and the whole battle after! I get goose bumps thinking about it! I do agree though that Clones and Menace have awesome mixes!!

Episode I should have been introduction to the Jedi and the Senate. Obi Won discover Anakin and develop his training. Episode II needs some suttle changes. I like the Jango/Obi Won controntation and Obi Won visiting the cloning facility. The Jedi kicking ass was good. Episode III should have more of the Clone Wars action and Anakin turning to the Dark Side earlier and showing more of Vader and the Death Star... Would like to have seen Yoda making it to Dagobah and Obi Won finding his place on Tatooine.

Just my take feel free to disagree. I hope George puts Luke screaming while falling down the shaft back in Episode IV Just kidding!

I feel ya! There are alot I would like to have seen different in all 6 movies; but, they are what they are, and I enjoy them for that.

Somethin' aint' it? And still going strong!

On a related note: I hope Peter Jackson revisits LOTR and upgrades some of the more poorly realized effects and maybe gives us the Epilogue they filmed, would be nice to see that at the very least as a bonus feature.

You know, it's kinda funny because I thought that maybe was his plan and why we hadn't got the saga on BD yet. I agree on LOTR too. Funny how much can change in a decade.

Yuck.

Agreed; however, these deleted scenes at least make their relationship seem less forced.

Question? I voted for Episode V "Empire Strikes Back" for many reaseons.

1st
less focus on the droids and more on Vader & the Emperor!

2nd
Of course the "Luke...I am your father sceen!

3rd
Didnt have to wait till the end of the movie for the action to begin!

What did you guys vote for? And Why?

I voted for Revenge of the Sith because it's visually the best, it wraps up the saga nicely and you're thrown right into the middle of the action from the start, but the action has a story purpose and isn't just there to look fancy.

The Empire Strikes Back

The Battle of Hoth
The Asteroid Chase
Yoda's First Appearance
Han and Leia's (believable) Romance
The Reintroduction of Darth Vader
Boba Fett being cool and not a joke
Lando Calrissian
Putting Han in Carbon Freeze
Luke versus Vader
No, I am your Father!

For me this is essentially the greatest film ever made. From beginning to end I am enthralled by what unfolds on screen. It is so great that even the spec ed version can't hurt it*.

Like I said, I don't care what people are saying but according to this, he broke a forum rule:

General Forum Rule:

Don't threadcrap. In other words don't go into a thread about hockey and post "hockey sucks" etc. It's unconstructive and it insults people who like hockey.

So I should have STFU and just report his post. My bad.

I voted for ROTS, because I had to vote for one of them. It ties the new with the old, has this classic feel, is emotionally the most powerful of them all, thematically the deepest, story wise the strongest, has the best score, the best visual effects, best editing, best direction, best lightsaber fights, best humor, best acting, the most planets, but I love them all, so it's really hard for me. Perhaps I even like to watch AOTC a bit more, as ROTS is so dark and sad...

I picked " IV " (Star Wars 1977) because IMO...


- It has the most and best 'gunfight shootouts' in it.

- It has the best and most dramatic, tension filled 'space battles'.

- Solo is at his best here with great lines.

- It has the best musical score.

- It has one of the best 'jump cuts' in it.(the very first indoor shot of the cantina)

- Did not have to wait till the end of the movie for the action to begin on this one also.

- It happens to be the only movie that I could watch continuously on a loop 24/7.

- It has everything that a Star Wars movie should have in it. i.e. Its the most complete movie of them all. (Though the Light Saber battle happens to be one of the weakest.

"YOU WILL NOT TAKE HER FROM ME" to Obi, I knew Vader was about to come ot of him That send a cold chill down my back

I agree with you on the Saber Battle... But let's not forget that Vader & Obi are each like 100 years old in that battle. I think they did ok!!!
