MidWest The Reason Behind Episode I's Downfall

Here's the deal:

There is a film on the IFilm.com called "Fall of a Saga". It proposes a hypothesis as to why Episode I (and by relation, Episode II) doesn't compare anywhere near the original films.

I don't want to give away the ending, but you NEED to see this film! Now! Run! Faster!

You can find it at:

Or, you can visit the filmmaker's website at:

There's a link to the film at the bottom.

Does the film propose a sound theory? You decide!

Interesting theory. But alas we know the real reason these weren't as good is simply because he wrote the scripts himself instead of hiring someone like Kasdan who wrote Ep V. or Kirshner who directed. Uncle George is a great story teller and Producer (as everyone has witnessed with the Indy movies) but he shouldn't be behind the camera or witing the scripts.

 

I still believe the number one reason is the addition of the digital imagery. Yes it is cool in some movies but it has taken away from the Star Wars saga.

 

Who said they were downfalls? That's just opinion there. The only thing I hate about the PT is the effects. To much CGI for me, otherwise I think they are okay.

 

I think the only reason some people want to focus on what they see as TPM (and PT as a whole's weakness) is because we have built up this image of SW over the years...that some just can't stand the idea of GL coming through with another home run.

The script is good...many complain that it has changed from the original concepts he had back in 1977. Don't you think GL has a better understanding of the story then any of us...and more specifically, WHY things happen the way they do.

Special effects have improved lightyears from where they were during OT (sparked by none other then GL) and even that was a vat improvment from prior to ANH. I like what they've done with CGI, because using puppets and models has it's limitations...and it opens up infinate possibility to create new worlds/species. You couldn't have done Sebulba without CGI...at least not with the range of movement he needed. And CGI allows directors to create environments that would be costly to do in real life (Coruscant)...you do that with models and you've got "Logan's Run" (yuck)
