Original Star Wars *looks* better than the New Star Wars

I think that the new Star Wars looks much better than the original. The originals were a heck of a lot better than the new ones, though.

The original trilogy is a lot better than the new trilogy. I just want to know which version of the original trilogy are you comparing to the new trilogy: Not remastered (original theatrical version) or remastered?

The newer ones look better, but the older ones are classics. Much beter than 1, 2, and 3. And I'm a mega Star Wars fan, own every single movie on DVD, and seen them all thousands of times. And anybody who says that "Attack of the Clones" or "Revenge of the Sith" is better than Episode 4, 5, or 6,is quite one of the dumbest people I would have ever met. The first 3 Star Wars movies will always be the best. My personal favorite has always been "Empire Strikes Back", Episode 5 :D

But I thought that Episode 1 was really good. My favorite movies in order would go like this:

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Return of the Jedi
4. The Phantom Menace
5. Revenge of the Sith
6. Attack of the Clones

I like all Star Wars movies, but Attack of the Clones was not very good. That was my least favorite :(

Please! Did you even see Yoda in the originals? I could see the strings attached to his back.

The one thing the new Star Wars excelled at was visual effects. Ben Kenobi vs. Vader in A New Hope has nothing on the battles fought in Episodes I-III. It sounds like you're just trying to bring down the new Star Wars. Shouldn't we be searching for the good hidden beneath the fail that is Jar-Jar Binks? Anyways, Episode III was a brilliant movie. It even compares to the old ones, to be quite honest. If you think that the space battle over the Death Star "looks" better than the opening battle over Coruscant, you're highly mistaken.enterawesome

I agree.

There is something about animatronics/puppets/etc that just remains awesome imo. When you saw yoda in the original, at least he was real. Sure, you'd be like "thats a puppet", but at least he was material. The Deathstar, as well, was not a cartoon...they took a bunch of model battleship parts, pasted them together, then ran a camera over it to give the appearance of a giant space station.

In the new ones, I saw him and thought "Man, Yoda is a cartoon". Same for all the other stuff. Computer animation is good when done to accent certain things, but when it becomes the focus and the bulk, its a bad thing.

This applies to all movies. Even robocop; when you saw the robots and stuff like that, it was real, even though it was a toy.

The new ones are so boring, especially episodes 2 and 3.

He's fine.

Episodes 2 and 3 just bore the hell out of me.

My only problems with the new trilogy were the cheesy acting and Jar Jar Binks. Other than that, the battles and lightsaber duels were fun to watch.

You mean the ones that turned a badass into a screaming angry teenager emo boy? Yeah, those are TOTALLY better. :roll:

The last threee episodes have nothing of the first three. Especially part three is kind of lame, BTW was I the only one who found the ending in PT 3 to be funny?

Well of course, they use CGI

In order of quality

5>6>4>3>2>1 imo

Some of you star wars fanboys are really blind if you think the original looks better than the new star wars. The OG has nothing on the new when it comes to looks.

doesnt look better but are better

Im talking about the people here that say puppet strings and etc are better than the CGI in the new episodes. Thats just plain fanboyism.

Star Wars Episode I has some of the best choreography for a sword battle scene ever and blows TESB out of the water in terms of skill and technique.

[QUOTE="Hungry_Jello"]

[QUOTE="jasonharris48"] I'm not going by the looks because its common since the last three looked cleaner. I'm judging them by the stories which the last three lacked in especially episode 3.

Didn't he also put forth the motion for giving emergency powers to the chancellor in place of Padme? which allowed palpatine to use the clone army.

The only thing good about the new star wars trilogyis that the visual effects are much much better. But the old trilogy is just plain better.

I just rewatched the Star Wars originals and I must say the prequels "look" better.
