I'm a big fan of SW Universe

Most people don't seem to have any major qualms with the first Matrix movie, even though both Episode 1 and The Matrix were released in the same year and suffer from the same kind of issues. The difference I feel between them is that people thought Star Wars had to match up to a pre-established tone from the originals, and the fact that they didn't do it means that it got labelled as a failure. The Matrix didn't have that issue, and it was only during the later films that people began to catch onto the flaws that were always present in the first movie, just on a lesser scale.

[...] The problem with the saber fights in the prequels is that they are over-choreographed. They're visually impressive, but they don't tell a story the same way the fights in the original trilogy do. Look at the way Vader casually fights one-handed at the start of the duel in Empire, and then the speed with which he ends the fight after Luke actually gets a hit in. Look at Luke's loss of temper in Jedi when Vader threatens to turn Leia. Then compare Obi-Wan's supposed loss of temper after Qui-Gonn dies, and the sterility of the fight that follows.

[...] You tell me you didnt like the fight scene between Obi Wan and Qui Gon Ginn Vs Darth Maul???

matrix wss at least well written, while ep 1 wouldn't pass as a kindergarden assignment

[...] yes

[...] Yup, JJ Abrams still didnt redeem himself after the farce that was Lost. I guess people are right tho in saying that he can't possibly do worse than Lucas on ep1-3. Trailer looked amazing, but trailers will be trailers. [edit] oh and anyone who says anything positive about ep1-3 is an idiot, doesn't know his movies, and has no taste, OBJECTIVELY [/edit]

Trailer reminds me of Star Trek 2009. Will be an entertaining film with little substance, JJ style. Star Wars fans are lucky he isn't directing the next one.
