[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 431554, member: 2"] Having watched both R1 and TFA, although I liked them I still think both are blown out of the water by the OT. I think people are mad saying either is better than Jedi, Ewoks or not :lol: It's obviously hard to watch something subjectively with no emotion or nostalgic attachment, but I honestly think everything about the OT is better. The scripts are better, sure there are jokes in them but very few of them are cheesy and despite their U rating are all serious films with minimal comedy. The two latest films are full of corny jokes which I appreciate are trying to appeal to kids or older viewers but they just annoy me. A bit like all the comedy shite George put in the special editions. The effects still look as good now as they did 40 years ago, everything looks virtually real. There are only a couple of things I can pick holes in, eg the odd badly super imposed explosion. The model filming of the ships simply looks real, it never gets dated. As we all know the CGI in the prequels looks terrible a decade later, and although a big improvement, I think TFA and R1 will look dated in a decade. And finally the acting is better in the OT. Even Harrison Ford is better in the old films than he was in the new one, it must be the directing. As a child I found the actors completely believable, and now as an adult I still do. I think some of the actors in the new films, especially Rey, are a bit too Disney/Harry Potter. [/QUOTE]
