minus-squaremassive_bereavement@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 days agoWas the dialogue in the original trilogy as clunky as in the prequels?
minus-squarefalidorn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·4 days agoYou should watch it to find out! I’ll give you a hint, one series is near universally praised and the other is defended by a small subset.
minus-squaremassive_bereavement@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 days agoLike Robocop, I’ve seen them so many times I can quote them from beginning to end. Well, except for ROTJ. Yub nub. But I can’t tell through my inch thick nostalgia glasses if the dialogues are clunky or just the right amount of cheese. Probably the dark side of the force is clouding my judgment.
minus-squareBeeegScaaawyCripple@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 days agoFor some reason I have superimposed the HES A BIG PIG dance Timon and Puumba (sp?) do in the yub nub sequence in my memory, and this is better And since they’re all Disney princesses it works
minus-squareJarix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 days agoIIRC his wife at the time of the originals was also someone who helped edit his scripts. She was not involved in the prequel trilogy(they divorced) So Lucas didn’t have someone who could actually tell him how dumb some of his stuff was, in the same way, as the originals. It would be fantastic if his unedited scripts were ever found(they probably don’t even exist though)
minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·4 days agoOh god no. But that’s because they were simple action movies with a standard theme. They weren’t trying so hard like the rest of it.
minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 days agoThe second one (ep V) has its moments of “deep thinking that won’t impact anything at all and ohh! action!”
minus-squareCaptain Aggravated@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 days agoLucas certainly wrote some clunky shit.
