When Did the Star Wars Franchise Lose Its Mojo? {Asylum}

Sep 22nd 2010 5:53AM Why don't you just write down your own script and make your own sci-fi movie since you guys seem to have all the answers.

If the prequels would have been the movies that came first, you would have freaked over "a new hope" coming out 20 years later and you would have loved JAR-JAR and hated C-3PO.

To me, the story is a brilliant one and I have always been amazed over the films. I just don't get all the hatred showed. Saying that Lucas does not care about his audience any more is just crazy. First of all, it is his story that he makes and the story has nothing to do with you, the audience. If you don't like Star Wars, don't watch it.

Then there is the music which is amazing, when I heard in 1999 "the duel of the fates" I said "Move over Beethoven."

"where did star wars go wrong" ???????????
Sorry, I guess you just don't know much about Star Wars. When I saw "the phantom menace". It was what I expected for I had read some of the books and played that Star Wars Card Game, on those cards are information about the characters which gave me a pretty good image of how the story plays out. I guess most had made an image of Star Wars in their mind that was not true to Star Wars and when the new ones came out you saw the vision Lucas has, then it was not what you expected so you start to hate it. You hater is the problem, not Lucas.

"Dialogue like a bad soap opera."
You have to be kidding me with this, the old ones have that same soap opera dialogue. Always, from the beginning, has this been a "space-soap". All lines in all movies are soapy, always has been. That is one of the main ideas for the way the story is told.

I see Ignorance is Strength with many people today.
