IrishJedi said:Very good point. In fact, I believe that AOTC will ultimately fall below TPM on my list as weakest SW film for that any several other reasons.
TheObsoleteMan said:The prequels didn't have enough incestuous moments for my taste. Not a single scene of siblings making out, that's just lazy writing.

There are films on that list above Star Wars. Are they better, in "your" opinion?
Empire's not on there at all. E.T. is #25. Is E.T. a better movie than ESB?
Apparently, Tootsie is a much better movie than ROTJ.

To me, there are no more annoying posts on this board than those saying that people who appreciate the prequels are too young to know better. I especially love when I see them coming from people younger than me.![]()
Why is it that prequel-lovers are always polite here to OT-fans, but some OT-fanatics are repeatedly condescending and rude to them?
You would think that, just because they MUST be older, OT fans would have learned how to comport themselves by now.
[Apologies to anyone offended by the overgeneralizations.]

Brent72 said:Bottom line: They're all SW movies and I enjoy all 6 of them, but I can't possibly fathom anyone thinking AOTC is better than the original Star Wars. That's absolutely mind-boggling.

Brent72 said:I was simply stating a fact(that Star Wars is considered one of the 100 greatest films of all-time), but apparently you're too sensitive to have something like that pointed out.![]()
pickard said:It doesn't bother me.![]()
I don't even disagree. I imagine nearly everyone on this board thinks Star Wars is one of the 100 greatest films of all time.
Your fact is just totally irrelevant to the conversation, which is our personal ranking of the saga.
People's opinions on art should not be influenced by the opinions of others, including professional critics.
