George Lucas sucks ass.
And here is why. I just saw Revenge of the Sith, and it for the most part sucked. I was really hoping for it not to suck, because I knew it couldn't rule. Anyhow, this post will be about all of Star Wars, but a lot of my points will be taken from Revenge of the Sith because that is the freshest in my mind.
Firstly, I'm glad I finally know how Skywalker become Vader. There, I said one positive thing about the movie. My first problem with all of Star Wars is the fact George Lucas is a cold, distant person which is evident in his writing for normal every day conversation. When he wrote for Anikin Skywalker as a child, he made him talk so unnaturally for a child. In the more romantic scenes between Skywalker and Padimay(sp?), the words are so clumbsy and forced it is evident that Lucas has never been very far with a woman than isn't a Star Wars groupie, so he just makes shit up. Then there is the fact that Lucas's universe is fucking crazy. There are all these backwater planets with primative creatures that know how to use lasers and what not, but still don't have the since to put on some sort of battle armour(notice the british spelling, thanks Warhammer). As long as I'm on the crazy ass universe, look at all the buildings, they are an architechtural nightmare. Everything is on spidally towers, or dug into the side of a moutian, or a fucking tree city. And all these huge (and heavy) space ships land on little tippy toes. If you take 5 seconds to think about it, then you would realize no sane engineer would make shit like that, it would break way to easy. Then there is that gaping plot hole known as the force, which is probably Lucas's biggest fuck up. From what I understand of the force, it can do everything, from letting you read minds, control other people minds, pick things up telekentically, shoot lightning from your finger tips, survive lava (there is no other way to explain Vader surviving the lava), and a whole host of other things. But then in moments where it would be the most useful for the Jedi to use these powers, they don't. Here I'll explain: 1. The force lets you move things about telekentically. So, in the scene where those buzz drones are all over Obi-Wan's fighter when they are going to save Palpintine in the very beginning of of Revenge of the Sith, why didn't Obi-Wan just use the force and knock them off his ship? 2. From what I understand, people with the force can sence it other with the force. So, when the Jedi masters talked to Palpintine, Yoda should have senced that he was strong with the force and known something was up. (also, as long as we are on the subject of knowing Palpintine was evil, the Jedi should have know. From my understanding, in his universe controling the force is a rare gift. So, then it is consivable that the Jedi should be keeping tabs on everyone that has some sort of force powers. Plus, it is probably a small cirlce of poeple who can wield the force with any ease, so figuring out who is Sith and what not shouldn't have been that hard). Then there is the Jedi themselves. Everything leads to the darkside for them. They can't have sex, they can't meet women, they can't jerk off (probably), they can't feel. They have to be detached from everything or the darkside will consume them. Plus they are the protecters of peace through out the universe. If they have to be detached from everything philsophically, then philsophically they shouldn't be fighting for peace, all they should be doing is consetrating on the goal to becoming one with the force, not going all over the galaxy fighting wars. Then there is just Lucas's ineliquance with naming things. The thing that bothers my the most is the darkside. Now I have no problems with the Jedi calling it the darkside, because they are trying to label it as evil. I have a problem with the Sith calling it the darkside. Why? Because no one ever refers to themselves as evil, well at least not people trying to take over. Hitler never called himself evil. Stalin never called himself evil. I'm sure Kin Jong Ill doesn't call himself evil. Sadum Hussien doesn't call himself evil. Bin Laden doesn't either. So why would Palpintine call himself a dark lord? He should be arguing that he isn't evil, but instead that Sith are strong and are willing to use power while the jedi are weak and afriad of it. Then made up some name for the darkside of the force that doesn't make it sound evil, but instead strong. Lucas needs to inject Star Wars and the Sith with the philosphies of Nietzsche. |
