Heck, one of my friends took his eight year old to see it and they had to leave during the Palpatine monster mash scene. Thanks heavens they left before Mustafar entered the picture. (whew!)

I guess when you refer to the kiddified movies, they would be VI, I and II.

That's where his face horribly changes during the fight with Mace. (scary stuff for a child)

Screen time? Probably like less than 7 minutes at the most.

He's around just about as long as "the slaughter of children and a main character burning alive".

You do know that anime isn't a genre, right?

What is more traumatic to a child?

The ALIEN exploding from John Hurt's chest is fairly quick so I guess that makes it ok for family viewing...

Yeah because we know everything about anime. I absolutely hate comments like this. There is more mature anime content out there then you can possibly imagine. Don't make comments unless you know exactly what you are saying because you come off as an a** hole.

Anyway I won't continue the argument here since this thread is about Star Wars.

How bout them Ewoks in ROTJ? I guess they weren't kiddie.
Face it, for any slam you can think of on the PT there's one for the OT as well. Let's all stop this bullshit and just accept SW and move on.

By the time the Ewoks were invented, Lucas had already started going down the path of the Dark Side (i.e. quality story-telling taking a backseat to selling play-sets and toys to 7-year-olds, instead of the other way around). No one expected A New Hope to be a megahit, and The Empire Strikes Back was too far along in pre-production to screw it up with new and unnecessary merchandise-focused additions. ROTJ was the first opportunity to truly pander to the kiddies, and it showed.

TPM was the logical extreme of that trend with its 20-minute infomercial / pod race sequence, of which several minutes were dedicated to introducing the starting grid (which would pull double duty as the Pod Racer Pilots Action Figure Set). That really helped the narrative move along...

[Geoff D]

You're being a bit unfair on the pod race, as it did at least serve a purpose in the narrative. And the theatrical version of the starting grid sequence was fairly brisk, it's the home video version which stretched it out interminably.

Asking him to move on is just not possible. After all this time I really feel sorry for him, to be this stuck up over something as unimportant and silly as all this. it's rather sad but it's it's time, he is free to waste it anyway he want's

does anybody know if there star wars trilogy does not play on their PS3?? i just saved enough money to buy the set and inserted new hope movie and my PS3 is not able to play it. error 80029940??

[Stinky-Dinkins]

Hahaha, the Prequels. I like how the debate is still going on, as if they're actually decent movies. I can't imagine a larger waste of time, arguing about such mediocre films....

...anyway...

I don't use my PS3 to watch my BD's anymore but a long while back I got this message. It turned out I had a couple very slight fingerprints on the disc itself, could really only see them while holding the disc under a light. I cleaned the disc surface completely (with a microfiber cloth) and it played fine.

After that - make sure your firmware is completely up to date. Many discs need system firmware updates to play correctly. Manually update it under Settings->System Settings (assuming you're connected to the internet.)


If that doesn't work temporarily disable the internet connection in your PS3 settings, just to see if it's a BD Live issue (I don't think there's a disable BD Live option specifically do that's how you'd have to do it.)

Reading all of this Star Wars hate makes me so sad. I think all six films are absolute quality entertainment. I think Return of the Jedi is the best of the six, along with A New Hope and Revenge of the Sith being the next best. I'm sorry, but the prequels are not bad, just simply flawed. Everyone is too critical of this stuff. George worked so darn hard to give us these prequels and everyones hatred has put a huge damper on the word Star Wars. YOU guys have ruined what is so great. Seriously, I've seen the prequels as many times as I have seen the originals, and I think they're all really fun movies. Same with Indy Jones 4, great great flick.
