Poll: Star Wars

[Nation.Skull]

I dont understand the hate for the first three films, i mean they are not bad, and certainly better than mark hamil jumpin around in pyjamas to very bad special effects.

Most people hate the films because of very stupid stuff.
I just really don't like the actor for Anakin.
But I do still like them.
For the 70's though,
they did an amazing job of A new Hope.

I like the first three films too, but theyre certainly no material to fund a giant universe on.

It was never just the first thee films. If you look at George Lucas' work, he wrote most of the storyline way before the movies even came out. People who fell in love with the series expanded, creating the universe, developing different aspects.

Demand of more more more funded itself to create the universe, George Lucas had very little control other than how he wanted things to look, feel, and flow in the games.

George Lucas has defintely gone too far with Star Wars movies.

Games, not so much.

Plus, I don't think he really has too much input in games like Republic Commando or Battlefront anyway.

He proposed giving different colours to the commandoes.

Veeeery significant.

He can always go lower.

The only real problem are the 'purists' of Star Wars, who hated the new trilogy, which to be honest, was a decent pre-quel and extremely well executed. Yes, Jar Jar was completely unnecessary, but hey, so were the ewoks in a way.

Not to get all "Spaced Star Wars Geek" on you, but the Ewoks were used to convey (the admittedly corny) message that the smallest people could defeat the largest enemies.

Jar Jar Binks was used to....uhm...he was just stupid. Just stupid.

To quote Spaced,
"Jar-Jar makes the Ewoks look like fucking Shaft!"

Force Unleashed fit and was a great game, things wrong with it
1. Need to be M need more gore
2. Needs to have 2-3 more hours of content
3. Everbody deserves the vs. mode

I think The Force Unleashed was a great addition to the universe, but I have to agree with an earlier poster that the Battlefront line was some of the better games as was Shadows of the Empire on the N64.

He can always go lower.

Yes he can. And that is not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination.

Video games are a really great way to fuck up a franchise like Star Wars, second only to novelizations, and a lot of these games have done exactly that. I've played a lot of star wars games, and while a lot of them have been great, they've filled in and justified far too much and it's hampered my enjoyment of the franchise. In my opinion, you really have to separate the original trilogy from everything else that ever came after it.

Basically, there are some great games, and there are some awful games, but none of them are really Star Wars to me.

 

[AuntyEthel]

Depends. The expanded universe is a little ridiculous (though not completely the fault of Lucas). I'm all for any Star Wars game that is decent. Why not?
