PT Star Wars Prequels Appreciation Week

I know - it seamed like a success - so anyone know exactly what happened?

 

Episode VII happened and Lucasfilm was bought by Disney.

 

Went to the charity premiers of I-III, very memorable experiences. Especially for TPM and AOTC people went nuts. There was a huge reaction to the seismic bomb, because people never seen/ heard such a moment on film before it.
When Yoda gets his saber out there whole theater broke out into applause, which is doubly as impressive when you consider the audience at these premieres aren't necessarily major SW fans.

 

Favourite Actor: Sir Christopher Lee is my favorite actor, and my 3 favorite actors (Sir Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, and Liam Neeson) all appeared in the PT. But, Ian McDiarmid gave what was in my performance the best villain portrayal in cinematic history. Can I choose all 4?
Favourite Main Character: Anakin Skywalker, followed by Yoda
Favourite Side Character: Mace Windu
Favourite Movie: Revenge of the Sith
Favourite Scene: Yoda vs Sidious
Favourite Planet: Coruscant
Favourite Ship (Romantic or Platonic): Republic gunship
Favourite Soundtrack: The Phantom Menace

 

I'm kind of wish that SW films still got shown in the same fashion that Rocky Horror Picture Show still does in the theaters, at least at the local "dollar theaters".

 

Yes! What I would really love is the chance to see all six films in a theater marathon leading up to Dec 18, but I have no idea if there will be any theaters anywhere that would do that...

Edit: I just did some Googling and found this...I hope it is correct as there are AMC theaters in my area!

Every week is PT appreciation week for me. Even for the OT as well. Because I appreciate the heck out them for all the joy they have given me over the years.

 

Right on!!

Hard to fathom those who have spent all that time with PT depreciation all the time isn't it?

I mean it does give them a perverse kind of "pleasure" to hate them but I can't imagine spending all that energy on something you despise.

 

I am happy that people like us have a whole lot of SW stuff to appreciate in life.

 

I found this video on YouTube. I love this video! It starts out with the club scene from AOTC, but goes pretty wild from there. I think it is definitely worth a view. Enjoy!

 

Did anyone see this recent interview of Hayden Christensen? Here it is:

Hayden is just great overall . Despite all the haters , he still respects and likes Star Wars .
It's a pity he wasn't in TCW as much as I like Matt Lanter's potrayal .

 

Yeah, watched it today. I have a felling that he is asked about Star Wars on every interview.

 

Ya I wished I lived in a city with those kind of theaters so I could see the PT on the "big screen" again. When I was a kid that's how you watched SW movies - and it was the main theaters that did it for their matinees. I remember they would do SW and ESB 2 for 1 marathons. By the time of RotJ a lot of ppl had VCRs and the weekend matinees kind of faded away (at least in smaller towns).

 

I loved the prequels don't get the hate. I grew up on the prequels and TCW. My favorite trilogy to date. I love the graphics, the battles, and the politics.

 

We may see all 6 in theaters again soon...

 

Neat.. too back the nearest AMC Theater is about an 8 hour drive

 

Man I'd love to do that. Too bad I watch in the order of IV, V, VI, I, II, III, TCW, FBI, CIA, NFL

 

I would love this. And as others have said its nothing they haven't done before. Just offer 3D marathons of 1,2,3,4,5,6 leading up to Episode 7. If they did it dubble feature style they could show two SW films at a time in 3D that would work best I think.

 

He always come across as an extremely smart and measured individual. In this interview he seems a little withered but the talent is still there. I hope he gets a break in his career somewhere down the line and the recognition he deserves. I would be unsurprised to see him win (or be nominated for) an Oscar in the future.

 

I had that same feeling when I saw "The Phantom Menace" in 3D, a few years ago.

 

Favourite actor: Ian McDiarmid. This guy is god!!
Favourite main character: Obi-wan, why not?
Favourite side character: Jango Fett. Because he kill jedi!!!
Favourite movie: The Phantom Menace, I love Tatooine's part.
Favourite scene: I don't know, I really don't know... but Duel of the Fates in TPM is pretty cool is not?
Favourite planet: Curuscant. I want to live there.
Favourite ship: Naboo ships.
Favourite soundtrack: The Phantom Menace. You probably know why...
