Forgot about this thread.

When Episode 1 came out, I didn't see it in the theaters. I saw it on VHS first.

So, I figured on seeing this on DVD first-which I did.

And missed Episode 1.

With Episode 1, I had TWO complaints, both George Lucas missteps.

A) Jar-Jar Binks. A little of him is survivable. Lucas put him in quite a bit.

B) Anakin Skywalker's age had about a decade dropped from it. Lucas said he wanted kids to be able to identify with it.

I was a kid when Episode 4 came out and I had no problems identifying with it.

(And now his back-story had lots of inconsistent timeline gaffes because he wanted to be clever.)

With Episode 7, I hardly know where to start. My comments seem to be 2 categories:

1) Almost all of this recapitulated Episode 4.

2) A lot of the plot devices were used in the Expanded Universe-and were better in the books!

The "it's a remake of Episode 4" was addressed fairly well here:

It WAS hard to suppress a strong feeling of deja vu, while watching. I was just waiting for the line, "Behold, a FULLY-FUNCTIONAL death planet!" :rolleyes:
