Lucas, its called Directing!!!

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.

I enjoy the movie, but I also like to nit-pick.  Is there some kind of help
group available for me or can I just go on annoying people with my nagging?
Personally, I think Leia just wanted to show off her cleavage (what little the
duct tape did not obscure) to two prospective male concubines.  She was really
just testing the water to see who was most interested...

Aye, Aaron, there is help.  Go to www.nitpickers.com/movies.  Pretty
amazing...sort of.
