The thing that absolutely floored me at the time was the openning scene in Star Wars. The perspective was so tremendous as the Empire ship just kept growing ... WOW!!! But, to see it now I only get a residual twang from remembering the original WOW.As far as a kiggy show is concerned, di we forget this is a Sci-Fi fairy tail with evil kings & wizards & an underdog hero?
My problem isn't with the doo-tads & other gimmicks or whatever that prejudicial BS was about, but where was the drama? Even during the pod racing scene (a computer generated Ben Hur chariot recreation), there was no anticipation, no fear, no concern, nada. I kept saying "yeah, they spent a great deal of money here ... next". I guess it would've helped if I gave a damn about the characters. Nobody bothered to develope them into anything beyond the thickness of the celluloid.
What was he thinking? Doesn't he have a set of people who're gifted enough not to be brown-nosers? Somebody should've screamed something!!!
