Who gives a crap about alien diversity on Tatoine? I didn't actually see if I could match them the PM ones with the ANH ones in the Cantina...
Anyways, I believe that the old movies worked waaaaay better because they have that kinda "oldie" feeling to them, but yet manage to have really good special effects and costumes and caracters and... puppets! Anyone remembers how people were mad that Jabba was a huge lump of CGI in the special edition of ANH instead of that fantastic puppet?
Anyways, I think that the movies and the books should be taken separately, because no one cares about the books anyways.. I have read like 10 of them a few years back, and remember almost nothing.
Boba Fett...Yeah, I though they ruined it in RTJ when Han "killed" him, but that still didn't take away from his badassness TOO MUCH. He was so badass because he just never did anything, he was very calm, always in place, so he had that kinda mysterious "don't even think about messing with me" feel to him, and plus, HE caought han while the whole damn Imperial fleet was too icompetent to do so.
But why he was in episode2??? Who the HELL knows. Totally unjustified cameo crap. I don't want to know that 20 000 Boba Fett clones exist, that takes away almost everything from the caracter :( I didn't mind the small Fett though, just out of place.
Yoda looks too real now. It's creepy because you know he's not a puppet, not made out of matter anymore. I like the old SW because everything had that feel to it, that materialistic feel... Cause you knew they built the Ships and all.
Darth Maul was a waste. Qui Gon also, and his existence alone fucked the whole trilogy. No comments on the Gungans, everyone hates them, and they didn't even give jobs to 100s of midgets like the ewoks did.
Padme + Anakin = WTF. Never seen a more predictable and cornier scenario. Anakin was a terrible actor anyways.
C3PO built by Darth Vader??? R2D2, helper of the old republic??? BattleDroids BEFORE Stormtroopers? It's going to take more than a "you'll find they are immesly superior to droids" to convince me! I mean, come on, JEDI MASTERS RUN FROM THE DESTROYER DROIDS! How could they possibly be less good than Stortroopers who even Leia can shoot dozens of.
Well, no point ranting of hopid E3 will be better, you know it will suck, just hope that this Chewie thing is another runor to screw with the fans while they wait. Or else, I will undergoe a lobotomy to erase all memory of the prequels from my mind.
