My all-time favorite movie series EVER is Star Wars. In recent years, the series has taken much criticism for the prequel trilogy and the Clone Wars cartoons. Although at times the dialogue of the prequels seemed a little tedious and the acting a bit stiff, I do not think that the prequels were a complete shame to the Star Wars saga. I appreciate that the prequels added depth to Darth Vader's character. They revealed a time when he was struggling to uphold the values of the Jedi and the light side of the force. They cited a reason for his fall from grace and gave insight into the fact that no one is completely good or completely evil.
Although I feel the recent animated Clone Wars movie and cartoon series was a horrible idea, I can still find something good in them. Those silly cartoons will create a whole new generation of Star Wars nerds.
Fear is the path to the dark side...
fear leads to anger...
anger leads to hate...
hate leads to suffering.
How did you first get interested in sci-fi? Is it a friend and/or family thing? One of these days I want to actually watch one - I've seen parts but never made it through...maybe we should have a sci-fi event in The writing Center.
