> Jar Jar Binks wrecked the movie.
Yup. The entire franchise jumped the shark with Jar Jar Binks. Mace Windu was the best of the new characters, and even so nothing was ever as good as the Original Three episodes. The Prequels all sucked.
The third movie was pretty good. The second one was OK. I love watching the third one for the special effects alone. Can’t wait until a Blu-Ray high definition version is available.
“Mace Windu was the best of the new characters...”
The character might have been good, but IMO Jackson didn’t act him well for crap. Or maybe Lucas just can’t write or direct dialog. And I know Samuel L. Jackson can act, pretty much...
I did learn a lesson from the Star Wars series. Working on a novel of my own, I originally thought of writing a basic story, then the prequel. Seeing how Lucas messed up his prequel, I thought it best just to write the prequel first.
