I have never seen Star Wars

It's hard to enjoy lord of the rings unless you've read the books and are familiar with the story. The movies do not do a good job filling you in on who everyone is and why everything is happening. It's one of those if you watch twice you'll like better the second time because you'll understand it better. They were way ahead of their time cinematically and special effect wise though, just like Star Wars was back in the day.
I can understand this. Most of the people I know that love the LOTR trilogy are people that had read the book already. My ex-husband hated them, but I adored them.
I have to admit though. I hate the Hobbit movies! I guess this is much the same with Star Wars fans who prefer the episodes 4, 5, & 6 over the prequels.
Personally, though, I actually did prefer the prequels. *prays to George Lucas to be spared the impending deletion fury*0 -
Battlestar Galactica, maybe?
You mean Data? He's an android who looks like a regular person and that's Trek.I only saw the one with Sherlock in it. not a fan...
that's STAR TREK
Trek = Earth in the future, discovers other life, befriends some of them, hates others, and travels to other worlds
Wars = a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Wait....which one has the people who are also robots?
Star Wars has androids, too, but they look like robots.
No...there's like a lot of em, and some of em look alike, and there are other robots that are clearly robots....I don't know. I remember seeing some of that one. It looked okay, but eh....
I don't think you were watching Star Wars OR Star Trek. Or else you aren't communicating what you saw very well ...
I'm pretty sure this person is referring to the Clone Wars since that one featured both clones and droids, and is just simply confused about storm troopers being soldiers instead of robots.0 -
So. .serious question. . Is it possible to purchase a DVD version of New Hope where Han shoots first?. .I mean. . I know they don't make NEW ones, but did they EVER make a DVD without all the drug-addled George Lucas nonsense?
I have a glimmer of hope that Disney will see the potential HUGE money making opportunity and release a version of IV-VI as they were meant to be seen. .0 -

The Hobbit films are nothing at all like the book. It's the same characters and a similar story but the special effects override the story, and it pisses me off that they made 3 films out of it.0 -
Also...they're just dude movies.
yes, cause all the dudes I know just love staring at this man
*drooling*
Though, I liked Luke when they first came out because I was kid and had a thing for blondes back then.0 -

I've only seen the first one so far, but it went along with the book, just left out a few things. How do "special effects override the story?" How is that possible? Do you not see the images in your head as you read?0 -

Hmmm...My husband and neither of my brothers have ever and will NEVER read the books, but they all loved the films. I will say that I had to explain a couple of things to my husband, but he has bad ADHD and is prone to missing certain details from time to time.0 -

The Hobbit is a short book that focuses on Bilbo's transformation from a young man afraid of living not the dragons and crazy stunts and Thorin Oakenshield's perfectly conditioned flowing hair slowly blowing in the wind with the sun glistening in his eye as he stabs the bad guy (eyeroll). It just feels as though Peter Jackson focuses so much on the scenic beauty that he misses the story, and the Hobbit is a prime example of it.0 -

Actually the newer releases are *exactly* how they were intended to be seen, it's just that the technology wasn't there back in the 80s for Lucas to create the films how he wanted to show them. The only thing I miss is the Ewoks "Jub Jub" song at the end of "Return of the Jedi."0 -

That whole brown wizard character was never in the original story... and contributed absolutely nothing to the story except to help tie in Sauron who was barely even mentioned in the original book.
Seriously... don't get me started... I hate the Hobbit movies!!0 -

Sorry, but the actor playing Thorin is too hot to not show his hottness off. (hottest dwarf that ever lived)
Well I will have to watch the second and third and see, but I loved the first one.0 -

I liked Luke until I learned he was a whiner and I have a no whining policy. Even when I was way young watching these, I knew I didn't like whiners.

I loved the novel and have read it several times over the years. I was first introduced to the story from a cartoon version of it that came out in the late 70s. But I'm the type of person that mentally separates novels from movies and simply enjoys each for what they are.0 -

Now, see...I was upset that he was left out of the LOTR films, so I am happy to see him!0 -
I have only seen the first Lord of the Rings movie.

Peter Jackson can choke and die.
I have the extended editions and watch them as often as possible. Love, love, love!0 -

So. .serious question. . Is it possible to purchase a DVD version of New Hope where Han shoots first?. .I mean. . I know they don't make NEW ones, but did they EVER make a DVD without all the drug-addled George Lucas nonsense?
I have a glimmer of hope that Disney will see the potential HUGE money making opportunity and release a version of IV-VI as they were meant to be seen. .
Actually the newer releases are *exactly* how they were intended to be seen, it's just that the technology wasn't there back in the 80s for Lucas to create the films how he wanted to show them. The only thing I miss is the Ewoks "Jub Jub" song at the end of "Return of the Jedi."
Oh yes. . I'm sure the original director of Jedi was thinking all along. . "Dammit. if I only had the technology I'd put an awesome alien dance number in this movie!!". .
And .. .no. . The only explanation for the change to making Greedo shoot first is that George got soft and wanted Han to be soft too.0 -
