Hey, Bart.
I can understand your dislike of snow/storm troopers with the all white gear, but Vader has got to be your kind of villan, with the black on black look
It's funny, one of the first reviews I read about the VX years ago was describing it as: "....a vehicle Darth vader would drive..."
Best,
James

Actually James, I love the design of the original movies. In fact, I think the snow troopers are totally bad ***, and the AT-AT was easily one of my favortie toys as a kid.

I'll lay it all down for you real quick: The original three Star Wars films, IN THEIR ORIGINAL FORM, are awesome. But George Lucas sold out to the Dark Side. He made a mockery of the first three movies, and then he followed up with 3 more movies that are simply deplorable, imho.

I'm with you Bart, I'm sure some of this is nostalgia talking, but the first 3 movies rule. The next 3 were ok at best. I think I got tired of the story centering on a 5 year old kid who had a crush on a 16 year old girl, then the next movie centered about a teen-age brat and his tantrums, then the last movie (Episode 3) can only be remembered for ripping off Frankenstein at the end when Darth finds out that he killed Padme
NOOOOOOOOO!!
It was so silly I had to laugh even though it was supposed to be dramatic

Being that I was 11 years old and waited all day in line to see the premire when Star Wars was released in 1977, I know that there is alot of nostalgia in it for me.
I do remember Lucas saying part of his inspiration for the film(s) were the CHEESY 50's serials he grew up on. Sure there are unintentional laughable moments in the films, but for example, I would have paid the price of admission alone just to watch the Yoda/Dooku saber battle in the second film, Attack of the Clones.
Bart,
I can see we will have plenty to talk about when camping, VX related stuff notwithsnading

Yeah, its sooooo pathetic. Almost worst than the two Matrix sequels. I couldn't even watch the 3rd movie. I saw part of the Yoda scene and was like, omfg, gimme a break. When Lucas made the first three movies, he made them in such a way that they were appealing to a super wide audience. Adult or child, it didn't matter, they were good all around. I mean, the Ewoks were pushing it, but it still worked. The new movies however, are just plain hokey. All I have to say, is Jar-Jar Binks.
