Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Yeah, those Ewoks were my LEAST favorite part of the series, but the Emperor was effective, ...

...don't you think? You see, IMHO, the wheels started coming off of the Star Wars saga in the third film (VI); it held up well enough, but I was left with the impression that Lucas started aiming for a more family friendly audience in The Return of The Jedi, not that the other two weren't wholesome enough. I just couldn't shake the feeling that Lucas was carefully avoiding any action scenes (i.e., close-ups, especially) that might be construed as a bit violent or excessively gorey for very young viewers. This stripped a lot of the emotional content away for college kids and hip young adults because one rarely feels that the heroes are in any REAL jeopardy; for whatever reason, that was NOT the case in the first two films.

Of course, this is just my opinion; YMMV, and it has been quite awhile since I viewed all three films back to back.

Cheers,
AuPh
