General Star Wars Bizarre things

[Stephen]

I don't consider Star Wars a, "superhero" movie, but just to play along...

Superhero movies better than the Star Wars prequels (off the top of my head):
X-Men
X2
X-Men: First Class
Spiderman
Spiderman 2
The Amazing Spider Man
Iron Man
Iron Man 2
The Avengers
Thor
Captain America
Batman Begins
The Incredibles (yep; I'd rather watch a Pixar movie than the prequels)

It's no coincidence that the best movie by far of the series (ESB), is the one that Lucas had the least amount of input.

I'd still rather watch episode 1-3 than any of those other than The Avengers. But that's just my opinion

I think a mistake that Lucas made is killing Darth Maul in Episode 1. He was the best villain of the new trilogy by far

I agree with the first half of your post.

However, I disagree completely with the second half of your post. Darth Maul is completely overrated. A Sith who rarely speaks and is trained in Kung Fu (Ray Park) and looks entirely badass is great on the surface, but the guy had no character/personality at all to me. I'll take Count Dookoo anyday of the week over Darth Maul. Dookoo fit in with the traditional Star Wars story. Maul was merely an assassin and is pretty much just a Sith version of Boba Fett.

And I'd rather watch Demolition Man than Amadeus, but it doesn't make Demolition Man a better movie.

Palpatine says hello. Then throws Force Lightning at you.

This list is on the mark. The last three were awful AND don't foret that abortion of a Raiders of the Lost Ark Crystal Skull... He should have stepped aside about 20 years ago.
