.......and so began the demise of the Star Wars franchise.

To be honest, I would say that the jump the shark moment for Star Wars can really be traced back to the moment the Ewoks appeared. The first two films and the first half of the third are very, very good. Once the Ewoks got involved it regressed to a largely average to above average group scifi adventure films. IMHO, the first two films are probably on the top 50 films of all time list. No film since the Ewoks appeared has come close to cracking that list. They are all still fine films, just not able to clear the bar of the first two.
 




This is about what I had figured.....a bit of a clearing house for MB's before going to the outlet mall. Still a really fun option and we'll likely upgrade but I wish there were some of the newer options.

Definitely still nice especially for people that already have a lot of the existing options. I do hope going forward they include more options and more "unique" or limited edition ones - even if the "upcharge" is more for those.

So like:
- plain color: included
- Open edition: $10
- Premium: $20
- Limited Edition: $25

something like that

(also would be nice if they added in some new plain color options)

I was really hoping that they would add in the "new" colors. I got an error when I tried to pick out bands. I've got time yet, so I'm not worried. I've got a few weeks yet before I have to have them picked out.

Yes, this would be excellent...though I'm sure it would get costly for me!! I keep getting Stitch when I try to order bands today but I have quite a bit of time so I'll just let it get fixed prior to taking a closer look.
 
Boy that makes me feel old!

Not everyone dislikes the prequels...they were the new movies for my generation and most people around my age who like SW seems to prefer I-III over IV-VI. I think the originial trilogy (+ VII as its basically a remake of IV) are fairly boring and love I-III. So for me, Phantom Menance was the start of an exciting SW revival.

Hey...one thing's for sure...they all were highly profitable. There wasn't one that lost over 100 million dollars *cough* Solo * cough*.

I personally have a lot of issues with RotJ and think it often gets a pass for being in the OT. But it seriously has some prequel era issues in it.

well, part of that was due to changing directors and all the reshoots - no way that should have cost the $275m it did to make, but yeah, didn't do great at the box office

I still enjoyed it and have watched it several times. Also just built the Lego Millennium Falcon from that film so I might be a bit biased :D
 
I personally have grown out of my hatred for the prequels. I think Clone Wars really helped put them into a different perspective for me. Not saying they are great movies but enjoy them. I just love Star Wars

yeah, as I mentioned above, I think there is a good movie in there - just go so side tracked and too much of the time was spent on less important things. Also, Obi-Wan and Anakin spend a lot of time talking about cool stuff they did in the past - but none of it gets shown (sort of a negative for a film to talk about stuff that would be cooler to see than the stuff you actually see)

Also, I just didn't buy how quick Anakin's full plunge to the dark side happened ... like they built it slowly up the first 2 films, and then in the 3rd after the first act he does now all of sudden he is cool with killing younglings and stuff? That felt really rushed - and I think that part, his slow walk towards being fully Darth Vader, is what I wanted to see more of
