Here i am , writing about one of the best series the world of cinema encountered . I keep watching all the 6 parts from time to time .
My favourites are the end of the trilogies , that being episode 3 and episode 6 smile.gif dunno why , but the last one , episode 3 , is just mindblowing , when u finnaly get to see how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader .

If i get to meet some of u fans here , maybe we'll start a discussion on this topic .

Until then , May The Force be with You notworthy.gif

i did read it but, as the etiquette goes, if one doesn't have anything nice to say then say nothing
i saw the first episode of the saga when released, in 1977, and that was the beginning and the end of my interest for star wars
i don't like star trek as well
i'm still in love with

Space1999
star trek (tv) is to star wars (cine) as space1999 (tv) is to 2001: a space odissey (cine)
the former are america-US based, the latter are england-europe based
and maybe that makes the difference, at least it does for me smile.gif Edited by gninori

Some nice looking spaceships - Check
Correlation of past, pressent and future - Nope
Extrapolation of current trends - None
Philosophical questions discussed - ha!

Sorry to piss on this parade. Star Wars is NOT science fiction !
It's a love story (for children) and stupid-standard hero bullshit in vacuum.

Ok Bimboy, great words I could agree but I don't understand why SW isn't a science fiction movie huh.gif

I was a great fan of SF books in the early 70' long before Star Wars (Asimov, Van Vogt, Spinrad, Sturgeon, Zelazny, Leiber, Lem, Dick etc) and comix too (Metal Hurlant/Heavy Metal, Marvel super heroes, Flash Gordon etc)
The term "science fiction" was really born in the 20's in america's pulp mags (Science wonder stories, Weird tales, Astounding stories etc) IPB Image and a lot of their stories didn't match your standards then. wink.gif

It was really a gift to me when Star Wars came, threre wasn't any SF movies in that time (no Alien, no blade Runner, no Philip K Dick novels adapted).

Ok that's a childlish entertainment serial but so what ? It's a perfect serial SF combo, mixing new age and archaïc myths and I enjoy these mythical & religious-like stories like the child I still love to be.

And if you don't like Star Wars, dear Bimboy, you can open a thread on your Science fiction standards on movies, books or cooking recipes IPB Image I sure shall be one of your fan! friends.gif (^ ^)crazy.gif

Ps: for me the saddest thing on Star Wars is that it announces the end of the free-minded independant US movies of the 70's. sad.gif And the return of the Hollywood studios moguls. Edited by Tangerine

Well, I was going to go with Gninori Axiom: If you have nothing positive to say, say nothing...

But the thread kept popping up... And now it's Harry Potter craze again.
- And Tolkien has all but become a "great writer" too...

Same problem in all of them: There are only 3 kinds of people:
The good, the bad and the heros.
The good are slaughtered in the millions while the bad laugh and rub their hands.
Fortunately the heros are smarter, better organized and aim a LOT better.

The real problem is this new quazi religeous (or fascist) belief in The Natural Ruler - "The One" (in Matrix)
- Scares the shit out of me.

huhuh never read Tolkien neither Harry Potter.
But talking about fascist belief on Star Wars seems a lil' bit over-reacted, my friend laugh.gif

Just our humane archaic mythologic and religious patterns IMO wink.gif

So don't be scared, the good ones always win as you know muhahaha laugh.gif

Oherwise you could make a report on Dick based "A scanner darkly", luv it. wink.gif (^ ^) friends.gif

For me personally, the original Star Wars trilogy is an old-fashioned adventure saga that is hugely enjoyable.

I've lost count of how many times I've seen those films.

So what if the films don't explore complex ideas or have any deeper meaning.

The Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies will always occupy a special place on my dvd rack.

If I want to watch a more thoughtful piece of cinema, I'll turn to Bergman, Tarkovsky, Zulwaski etc but for sheer entertainment value, give me Star Wars!

i like predator insted, but it's in another league than star wars
original subject and development and the visual allegory of the ancestral fears of man, in his evolution from pray to predator, being hunted while hunting in the forests of old crazy.gif
that doesnt mean i cant like sheer entertainement, but i get bored pretty soon
anyway i really enjoyed the terminator trilogy: but there is a hell of time paradoxes to carefully deal with
by the way, a bit before SW we had this other kind of great, inconcluding SF. has anyone seen that?

yeah , but not the 'rated all' movies sad.gif i like more the cartoons , and it's a shame that i can't buy comics from stores in my country .

yes, yes, i was mainly thinking of comics, my primary source for loving spider man, daredevil, fantastic four etc since 70s, not the films based upon

and about the famous phrase

alas, this is one of the saddest pages in the whole history of international comics

woaw thanks Gni, never heard of this Dark Star (dunnno if he was distributed in the movie circuit in France but I doubt it) and I learn on Wiki that's the 1rst movie by John Carpenter ! He made it at the end of his cinema studies and the script is co-wrtitten with young Dan O'bannon who made Alien's script later !

The funny thing is that i'm actually reading and old issue of 80's mythic french SF comix mag "Metal Hurlant" with a big interview of Jodorowsky about that pre-starwars period.

Maybe you already know this outstanding artist, who created the Panic Movement with Arrabal and Topor in the 60's, theater director, moviemaker, writter, tarot master, etc etc)
He said that after making his "Montagne sacrée/The Holy Mountain" , maybe the best real surrealist movie, he planned to adapt Dune from Frank Herbert in the early/mid 70'.
So he went to LA to ask Dan O'bannon to work on the script after seeing his Dark Star.
He also asked Moebius (french SF cartoon maestro), H.R/ Giger (wacky swiss illlustrator painter) and Chris Foss (the hyper realistic english illustrator who created the 1rts huge space vessels in the 70's) to work together on Dune adaptation. But after 2 years of efforts the project failed and Dino de Laurentis get the adaptation rights of Dune back. Man I saw some of the drawings made by these 3 genius, outstanding!!! woow.gif
But all these creators used this experience in their own future creations hehe.

And soon Riddley Scott's Alien was made with the help of O'bannon, Moebius, Giger and Foss.

So big up to Jodorowsky who prepared the path of the great SF movies of our times ! crazy.gif I'm sure George Lucas heard about this Dune project in LA at that times and was inspired by some images that were around. wink.gif

Anyway I've found a copy of a strange cheap TV show made by Lucas to earn few bucks with the Chewbacca family in the summer just before the 1rst Star Wars movie burst out. Some kind of Alf like tv comedy but with wookies huhu. But it's so bad and stupid that Lucas managed to get all the copies back when SW began to be a hit haha.

So very rare !
I've got a bad VHS copy but could spread it someday, who knows. rolleyes.gif

May the gape force be with you ! (^ ^) starwars.gif Edited by Tangerine
