Comment Re:TPM sucked (Score 1) 363
If no one else had mentioned the Brin articles, I'd have done so. Maybe I'm getting old, but I reacted to TPM the same way I did to the rereleases of episodes 4-6 - i.e., bored silly (though I did enjoy them, especially Empire, the first time around).
To the extent that there's any philosophy behind the movies, it's 99% wrong-headed. Brin nails those problems, along with the storytelling flaws and plot holes you can fly the Millenium Falcon through. And look at the trend line - especially from Empire Strikes Back to Revenge (oops!) Return of the Jedi and now TPM - gruesome!
