Archer if you try and base your arguments off of that garbage I would like to see you try and become a trial lawyer.
Sarcasm aside, Arkalis wants to bring this thread back on topic so I'm not going to continue this. We can continue it elsewhere. It was fun while it lasted.

Archer do u have a girlfriend or something like that????
I wonder what the fuck is everybody in here trying to prove. That everything is a rip-off of something????? In that case everything is a ripp-off from the bible, and the bible is a rip-off from ancient pagan rituals.
I win this thread.

Gremlins are a completely modern (As in circa 1940) mythology.
I wouldn't say that there was nothing left in Star Wars to make a movie out of. The Clone Wars had a lot of potential.
With that caveat firmly in place, however, I will admit that your other points are right. Lucas, poor Lucas, who really should have been killed off before the Yuuzan Vong symbiont posing as his wattle drained what last creativity he had.
So sad, covering up all his inadequacies with FLASHY (!) special effects before the tech behind them even pans out (E.G, the Special Editions of Star Wars). And then he thinks he's relevant enough to insert a lot of (bad) political commentary into #3. Yes, Lucas, we get the point, you hate President Bush and he is EVIL, seeking to Corrupt the peaceful Democracy of the USA. Now get in line behind all the other Hollywood yahoos before I ram that lightsaber where the sun doesn't shine.
The thing is, RotJ was very well received by the critics who were in business at the time. IIRC, most of the RotJ-hate comes from the more modern critics.
So, the movie hasn't aged well, and I can sum up all of it's faults in one word.
That's right, one word. You know what I'm going to say, of course, but it needs to get out.
Ewoks.
Well regarded by you, perhaps. The first three are considered to be... well, a gemstone of cinema. And this is from someone who can't bear to watch the movies, new or old.
WHAT THE HELL IS THE EMPIRE DOING DEPLOYING 30 METER TALL WALKERS (!) WITHOUT AIR SUPPORT!?
Not even close, bucko.
