hmmm... and how many movies have you directed? Quit calling the kettle black
until you become a pan... or something like that... :)
When you make your millions from an excellent series of sci fi movies come
back and we'll talk. Otherwise, enjoy the films or quit trying to be a Star
Wars fan... go join a Babylon 5 NG.
I don't mean to be insultive, and I do apologize if I offended you... it's
just too easy to say how bad someone did at something when you haven't done it
yourself. Yes, there are better directors, but SW is still one hell of a
film, and squabbling over tiny little issues like who did or didn't get a
medal in a short scene from a movie that was made thirty years ago and that
spawned a multi-billion dollar universe is fruitless. If you dislike
something in the movie go back in time and change it. What's that? No time
machine? Oh... well... I guess we'll just have to live with it.
Enjoy the movie or don't. It's your choice.
