I can't believe you guys think New Star Wars look better than the Old Trilogy

I completely agree TC.

The old movies looked much more realistic than the new ones, which looked synthetic and had a feeling of weightlessness to them. The models in the original were real, and it felt like it. They felt heavy and looked dirty. The space battles in the prequels lacked focus and were just a jumble of ships thrown into the mix. The first was much better directed as it focused a lot on one on one engagements. There were big battle scenes as well in the originals, but for some reason even they had more focus and paid attention to individual fights at times. The original movies are so ahead of the new ones it's not even funny.

Oh yea, the lightsaber duels DID look like dance sessions, with the only intent being to look cool. They were way more than what was required to convey what was needed, and dragged on and on.

I liked the updated graphics for the prequels, Im just not very partial to puppets.

I've always wondered why Kenobi dissapeared when Vader hit him... anyone got an answer?

The older ones were better obviously, but the effects/lightsaber fights are better in the newer ones (Atleast II and III).

I think the older movies swordfighting was simliar to broadsword fighting. Which is kind of dumb when you think about it because putting tons of force behind a swing of a lightsaber is kind of stupid. It will slice through anything anyway so why take the time to build up a powerful swing. The newer ones kind of reminded me of crazy fencing styles which makes more sense, you don't have to hit someone hard you just have to basically make contact with something. So you would benefit more from haste rather than raw power with light saber swordfighting. Plus when you add in the agility and stamina a jedi would have I would imagine their duels would look a little rediculous. The newer movies is what I thought light saber battles should look like, but I have to admit the storylines/acting was bad in episodes 1-3.

I liked this battle better.

Well i do think the lightsaber fights looks beter but everythig else is much lower in quality

The lightsaber fights in the newer ones are so far ahead of the old ones that it shouldn't be brought up.

And the Lightsabers looked better in the Old Trilogy. It had weight, and they actually parry'd. The new star wars lightsaber fights look like dance routines

You honsetly think THIS is better than THIS?

definatley, grievous fight didn't look real at all

I think that you're delusional. The first three films were without a doubt much better movies. But the lightsaber battles reminded me of the pretend sword fights that kids have when they're 7.

The anakin/kenobi fight in the 3rd film was awesome. The special effects and lightsaber combat was much better in the newer films.

I've never thought the new Star Wars was better than the original trilogy. I love the original trilogy, I had dreams about Star Wars when I was a kid, the Star Wars was so real. The new Star Wars is rubbish, the Yoda lightsaber fight is so lame, ugh.

Long live the original trilogy!!!

You have to give it to George Lucas... He made the Prequel Trilogy "look" better but they aren't better than the previous films. He should have had someone else direct the prequels and he just forcused on the art direction. I think the films would have been way better. Over the past 30 years he just lost his director ablities.

The puppets, special effects, and general atmosphere was WAAAAAY more enjoyable in the OT than the NT.

The old trilogy did not rely on dazzle. It felt more like an actual world, and less like a video game.

The Old Trilogy looks WAY better! Episode 4's final deathstar battle was like 3D and you could tell who was who, there was an X-Wing, Y-Wing, and TieFighter.

The New Star Wars, you can't tell what's going on, there's too many random ships.
