Which do you like better, the new movies or the old movies? Personally, I like the old ones better in every way, acting, storyline, humour(even the special effects! alot of the computer animated stuff looks annoyingly fake to me):D
But if you disagree that's okay! What do you like about the new movies?
I'm interested to see if other big Star Wars fans think alike!
I am looking forward to Episode 3 though. ^_^
I'm not sure how to add a poll.:eek:

I'va always preferred old movies, they seem to have better storylines, better characters and just more humorous moments (except in lord of the ring movies, i'm obsessed with those) but yeah, i have to say old movies own :D

I disagree, particularly as the space battles are almost non-existent in Ep.I/II (kid Anakin destroys Droid starship = 3 minutes long & boring, Obi Wan vs. Jango = 10 minutes long but only 2 ships involved). In contrast, the old trilogy features long, epic battles with (IMO) much better ships.

I'm all for the new movies. To me, the movie is about watching fast, fancy, extreme lightsaber fights. The battles in space are of much better quality both image-wise and sound. The graphics are fine (much better to see Yoda walking freely now) and it's great to see so many new worlds created using CGI. The old classics are still great, though.

The duels in the new movies, and the special effects and such, may be better, but the storyline of the old movies was better, imo. Afterall, a movie's not about watching fancy duels, but experiencing the storyline as it unfolds itself. Well, to me that is, at least XD

I like them all actually, but the new ones (1-3) have better saber duels :D

:alliance:No doubt in my mind the New Star Wars movies have incredible Saber battles. I used to think the Skywalker/Vader fight in ROTJ was great but that changed after watching Ep.1

The old ones are classic movies that i grew up wathing. I believe that the Newer ones didnt have that static badguy, although Maul was kool, he got killed. You could say Darth Sidious but...he's no vader.

I love the sarcastic banter in the old movies. The characters manage to act fairly casual even when they're falling in love or finding themselves in mortal danger. Just makes them seem more heroic and brave. The humour is very natural and believable, nobody fishing for laughs, but still really funny. In the new movies, they get extremely serious throughout much of the movies, lots of emotion, which isn't like the old movies, but it's cool. But then they stick in uber-goofy, fake-looking Jar Jar and stupid puns by C-3PO at the worst possible moments. Like the new Matrix movies, they're mainly good for the action scenes.:D

well I think Jar Jar plays 2 roles. Comic relief and the fall guy to who gave Palpatine control over the senate by initiating the vote. As for Anni, he's a kid, he played the part. I don't think he's old enough to realize the role he took.
I don't think EpI was boring really. You have to realize that Lucas had to spend time introducing The Republic, the Jedi as peace keepers and to get an overall feel of who the Jedi were Pre-Empire, and the Jedi Council's key figures, as well as other key figures to come in EpII and III.

Jar Jar makes me sick to the bones. And I generally find movies with cute little children in lead roles to be obnoxious. And the Ewoks? Don't even get me started...

Okay.. i dont know what you are talking about..
'lil Ani and Jar-Jar Binks was nearly the best in the movie! Didnt Jar-Jar make you laugh any time!?
And What is wrong with Anakin!?
And at least.. how can you not like Ewoks!?..
They are so cute bouncing around in the trees!
But sure you can think as you want to :D
Anyways.. I like all episodes best :)

But eh, getting the old trilogy on dvd made me realise that the Gungans is not much worse (a little though) than th Ewoks - and that the Pod race sequence was no more dull than seing the second raid on a Death Star (come on, 1 time was more than enough!)...

All in all, I think I rate Ep. II as the best one so far (in spite of the boring and too long romance sequences) - and Ep. I as the worst one. So it's a bit mixed for me.

But I still like them all, and I'm convinced Ep. III will be a blast.

The old movies, I think will always be better. They are what got most of us into Star Wars. The new movies do bring that action and that beefed up lightsaber finging!
