So what is PT Yoda? Prequel Trilogy?
Back when debating over the respective merits of the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy was all the rage, the acronyms PT and OT were popularized. I suppose it stuck for some of us.
Letterboxd rating scale:
The Long Riders (Hill) ***
Furious 7 (Wan) **½
Hard Times (Hill) ****½
Another 48 Hrs. (Hill) ***
/48 Hrs./ (Hill) ***½
The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (Besson) ***
/Unknown/ (Collet-Serra) ***½
Animal (Simmons) **
To be honest, I'm pretty surprised that there are posters on MatchCut who don't know what PT and OT refer to.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Stopped liking Star Wars when the prequels started coming. Biggest disappointment I can think of.
I still like Star Wars, but I don't know if I'll ever watch them again in their current format.
Sure why not?

I didn't even know this existed.... I thought Lucas said he would never print the original cuts on DVD or Blu-ray because it doesn't represent his vision of the film?
Edit: oh, they are not anamorphic widescreen and are poor transfers. Not digitaly remastered.
The original versions were included as "special features" on the Special Edition DVDs. I bought them for that reason.

I own those! If I sold them, could I really net over $200??? I'd sell them in a heartbeat!
Sell them to me.

I will pay you in sexual favors instead.

$200 and they're yours. That's $100 off!
Yeah, I snatched all those up for $15 a pop at Target one day.
I think I own them too. I'll sell for $150 and increased sexual favors.
*hugs original artwork widescreen laserdisc set*
I think my dad has those.
God, laserdiscs sucked. There were about 8 discs total for a movie, :lol:
I wish this movie was made.

That guy was pretty much spot on about how Episode I should have been structured. Of course that movie would have no place for terrible kiddie Ankin, or godawful Jar Jar, so naturally it never happened.

He complains about three battles going on at once, but didn't the others have that too? At least ROTJ did, and that was killer third act.
I will definitely agree with the complete waste of Darth Maul may have been the biggest wrong in the prequel trilogy.
Yoda should have first appeared in Revenge of the Sith. Grevious should have been removed and been replaced by more Darth Maul.

The guy lost me when he mentioned the Trade Federation. What the hell are we keeping that for?
In my opinion, the prequel trilogy is completely unsalvageable. We should scrap it and start over. I would make Padme the protagonist, except her name wouldn't be Padme and she wouldn't be a queen or senator. Basically, she would eventually give birth to Luke and Leia, but apart from that I'd start with a clean slate. Since the Jedi are naturally weird, I think it would be good for her to be a little more normal. Perhaps a little selfish. She's looking out for her own interests before coming around and fighting for good. Maybe she's a bounty hunter!
I like his thoughts. Better than what we have. I agree we need to revolve around a central protagonist that should be Obi wan. This should be his trilogy of loss, followed by the trilogy of redemption staring Luke.
The comments are funny. People keep talking about how when Lucas dies they should start over... little do they realize they can't because the copyrights end 75 years after Lucas dies. So even if he dies in 2012, someone outside of his company can't produce a Star Wars film until 2087.
I predict Lucas will have very little control over his company when he's dead.
Dr. Seuss hasn't been dead for 75 years and that doesn't seem to have prevented his works from getting raped.
