Skeleton Crew was just perfect.

Tak Rennod...."Donner" backwards...nice nod to Richard Donner.

I actually felt empathy for "the bad guy" at the end and was...kind of rooting for him? #****themkids

Some really incredible world building, great performances, espcially from the damn pirate droid LMAO and the setpiece with the garbage smasher was CLASSIC Star Wars!
Spoiler!


They managed to make you like ALL those kids, too.

Skeleton Crew was a lot of fun.

Aimed at a young audience, but fun enough for adults to enjoy.

I'm not sure I understand the hate that Episode 7, 8, and 9 get. Those are the best 3 stars wars movies I've ever watched. Even though it was a classic for it's time the original trilogy is ****ing garbage.

No one agrees with you, thankfully.

The sequel trilogy is a hollow ripoff of the original trilogy.

If you can't see that, you are ignorant, or just trolling.

I watched Revenge of the Sith because it's getting a little bit of a bump of late. People are trying to argue for it as being worthy of consideration for the 2 slot in the franchise - maybe even the 3.

Nah. Not getting there.

The CGI battle scenes are really bad. The slapstick stuff with the droids.

You just cannot say enough about how much the movies suffer when they get away from practical effects. For most of those scenes it felt no different than watching a really long version of the animated series.

Now unlike many of the movies, there were some incredible moments in Sith -- I'll give it that. But there's still just too much shite mixed in along the way. I think the main problem was situating Grevious as the secondary antagonist ahead of Dooku. Christopher Lee brought some real gravitas to the role and then they just kill him off 10 minutes into the movie and you end up with this stupid gravely robot thing with lousy CGI as the secondary villain for the next 1/3 of the movie. They should've found a way to flip that around.

Really wish there was a directors cut of Revenge of the Sith. There's a **** ton of cut content that would've made the movie much better (also 5 hours long).

3 more hours of CGI battle scenes and slapstick droid humor wouldn't have improved the final product.

The stuff that got cut was probably hot trash.

Eh, Grievous WOULD'VE been at least a neat spectacle but apparently Lucas decided to make him way more of a joke than originally planned.

It's out there to read. The novelization was what Lucas originally planned the movie to be.

The issue for that movie isn't even the story, though.

The story is fine. Oh sure, it could be better, but it was good enough for a damn good movie. As good or better than Empire and Empire was still great.

It was the execution. They just told the story poorly. The visuals are awful. The performances by the actors range from awful (Christensen) to indifferent (Jackson). It was even McGregor's worse performance (though again, he has some fantastic moments).

It was just really poorly made. Adding more story to it wouldn't have changed that -- it would've been like giving Skyy Moore additional snaps. At a point, you're just adding volume to the suck -- not improving upon it.

If JJ Abrams had directed and produced George's PT scripts and George Lucas had written JJ's ST scripts we would have had much better movies.
