My husband and I got into our usual dispute yesterday, and I need to prove once and for all that I’m right, he is wrong. There is no “grey” area in this issue. Just black and white I’m right, he’s wrong.
\nHe claims I am not a real<\/b> Star Wars<\/i> fan because I say Episodes I, II, and III stunk big time. According to him, if you are a true fan, even if the movies were a little cheesey (understatement), it was so great to see what happened after waiting all your life for George Lucas to make new movies. I say George Lucas should have left well alone, and as a true fan, I find the movies insulting.
\nThey were horrendous. Why do I make such a bold claim? Here are ten good reasons to support my flawless argument:
\n1.<\/b>Anakin cried all the time. I could not believe he was Darth Vader, but just some whiney skateboarder kid.
\n2.<\/b>Little Anakin was equally annoying: “are you an angel?”
\n3.<\/b>The pod races lasted too long. And for the record, little Anakin’s best friend’s name was “Kitster” which is a stupid, unimganinative name for a “kid”.
\n4.<\/b>Jar Jar Binks. The only good things about Episodes II, and III was less Jar Jar Binks.
\n5.<\/b>Padme was useless. She was supposedly one of the best rulers of Naboo, and she chose this guy for his wonderful pick-up lines? And calls him “Annie” at that which means she should be thrown.
\n6.<\/b>The whole notion that Anakin became Darth Vader because he wanted to save Padme’s life, and then killed her is dumb, dumb, dumb. Does anybody buy that?
\n7.<\/b>Bad dialogue like the “I hate sand. It’s so coarse. Not like here. Everything here is smooth.” pick-up line (see point #5) and overuse of the term “younglings”.
\n8.<\/b>Jar Jar Binks.
\n9.<\/b>The fact that Mace Windu got killed in a “hey, what’s that over there” move when he was powerful enough to defeat a single droid army by himself during the Clone Wars is annoying as well.
\n10.<\/b>The big finale fighting scene at the volcano that we have been reading about for 25 years was lame<\/u>!
\nIs that enough? Do I win, win, win?
\nI am sending the link to this entry to my husband, so I need to add the bonus #11<\/b> point: The Lord of the Rings<\/i> Trilogy was better. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
