-- Admin{CB1}Slayer333

I havent seen them All...

but everyone i know says the old ones are better

-- Hyrule Castle

prefer the new ones... looks so much better... graphics and all...

-- lostling

Old ones...

Return of the Jedi was the first movie i ever say in a theatre.

The dialog in the new ones is almost fatally bad at times... George Lucas should never have sobered up from the 70s

-- Lochnivar

oh no. it's on.
the new ones have graphics yeah, but story? no.
a farmboy, his dad, a princess, a space pirate, and his walking rug. does it better?

-- Templar

Oh Templar

Does it *get* better?

-- Picasso

No contest

Only 2 good things about the new movies:
1) you finally know how Anakin becomes Vader
2) The saber battles are so much better.

Other than that, the Old star wars are the best, hands down!

-- Trashcan

Both suck

Old ones aren't as terrible so I voted for them.
lol
and then..

-- 8DEOTWP

Old ones are hands down the best.

I was actually watching the old ones today, even though I have probably seen all of them 20 - 50 times each.

oh and anybody who thinks star wars sucks should be banned.

-- PeterGriffin

ugh

Anakin's acting could not be any worse in the new ones; it's completely terrible.

-- Cube

new ones

yoda vs count dooku (sp) owns all

-- Bull3t F4c3

Old Ones

Sure, the new ones look better, and the action sequences are better due to the improvements in special effects, but the acting is pretty atrocious, and some of the plot elements are awful. The old ones win hands down!

Do I even need to mention Jar Jar Binx?

-- Xenko

I like them all. I consider the first three episodes as essential as the last three now :P. It provides a good look into the history of the Galactic Empire and current events in IV - VI.

Voted older ones, of course~

-- ActionAction

The new movies are awful

And Lucas is a hack.

The old movies were great. The new ones have Anakin saying, "Well... I've got everything going for me right now... time to murder a room full of children, i guess". Need I say more?

-- Daz

Classic

The writing for the old ones was funny and witty (sp) , and i couldn't stop feeling embarrassed for everyone during the newer ones. The special effects on the newer ones were better, but it did look like they filmed almost everything in front of a green screen.

I like 4-6.

-- RVT

w00t!

w00t for more polls!

-- BluBBen

If they wer muted!!!

Thats the only way i could vote for the new movies, though i didn't hate them.

-- Ernest-Scribbler

Han Solo

The old ones had Harrison Ford; the new ones should have had somebody more...human and less wooden

-- QBJohnnywas

OG Fa Sho!

Seriously how could anybody vote for the newer ones? Those movies were teeeeerrrrrible. I only slightly enjoyed the third one; I like to pretend that the actor who played Anakin was sliced up, as opposed to the character. They never should have been made. Period.

-- Paddy Boy

Old ones

If i really had to choose ill have to say the old ones, but the new ones are good movies too. And anyone that has seen the old ones should see the new ones, and the other way around.

-- nemods

Which old star wars though?

The originals or the special editions? Originals with creaky effects please.

But mostly because......


HAN SHOOTS FIRST!

-- QBJohnnywas

I vote mushu

I am no star wars fan.
If you look at the old ones now they don't have the special effects of todays pictures and they just look so eighties.

And the new ones are all action and explosions no really story like the old ones.

-- Brakke Bres

Gotta go with the old :D

-- celsis

WORST POLE EVER

no vote

-- drudge

Boring

On the one side we have the nice cute, cuddly Ewoks. On the other we have the incredibly annoying Jar-Jar.

Both lose.

Episodes 4 and 5 were the only 2 worthwhile. Episode 6 was good aside from the fact cute fuzzy teddy bears can take on the stormtroopers, yea right!.

-- QBRanger

HERETIC!

Ewoks ROCK! The new movies sucked hard, and I agree that the 4, 5 episodes were better, but DO NOT make fun of ewoks

-- QBOddBird

Mini chewbacas

That is all.

-- BootyGod

Brent Loses.

Oh well. His fault for choosing the new ones.

-- th00p

Simple Math

James Earl Jones > Hayden Christensen

The voice was at least half the awesomeness of Vader.

Also - Space battle in Return of the Jedi is still the best of them all (though Revenge of the Sith's opening was pretty cool).

-- markab3

money money money

its what makes lucas films go round.
theyve produced over 70 star wars games most of which are prity good but cant produce 3 half decent movies? do they care?
doubt it.

Ewoks - one Stormtroopers - nil

-- MasterCasper

neither

i guess the newer ones were a bit better but i think the new legacy of the force series is the best.

-- unleashed force

Huh?

Was there ever any debate? Old ones win, no contest.

-- Maelstrom

How bout star wars sucks

its soooo stupid i mean i never ever watched one but they seem sooooo bad like nerd like really really nerd like

-- TinTizzy

ROFL

First you say they suck but haven't seen them, and then you, a player of an online RPG, talk about something being nerdy?

You are a comedic genius.

-- QBOddBird

Love them all, but...

..nothing beats the original trilogy.

Palpatine rules.

-- Lord Bob

they suck

.

-- TinTizzy

Oldies but goodies

episode 4 was the first movie i saw as a kid in the theatres(yes im that old), makes me biased towards the older episodes. That and the fact that they were alittle gritty and much more realistic. They cleaned up the newer versions to much, and adding characters like Jar-Jar just killed it for adults like me. Though i did think episode 3 rocked, only because we(everyone) got to see the rise of Darth Vader.

-- {CB1}Sparticus

OLD

I don't think anybody who wasn't around in 76/77 will understand why the oldies will prefer the first lot. I saw Star Wars in the cinema too, Easter 1977 and it was amazing. It's easy to forget that there had never really been anything like it. Fantasy/science fiction fans have been really spoilt ever since.

That opening scene in the cinema.....I still get chills thinking about it.

-- QBJohnnywas

Older

Always. Lucas needs to be commited for the first three... Chewy in them? The Droids? And having to be "mind wiped". Midiclorenes. The child ace pilot and virgin birth.... The only redeeming fature was Darth Maul, and the fall of Vader was terrible. It *should* have revolved aorund Obi-Wans use of the Dark Side of the force to Kill Maul in revenge for Qui Gon's death, and that Dark Side coming through to the teaching of Ani. Fundamentally warping him and leading him to the dark path. The current version is roo-bish!

-- AdminQBGentlemanLoser

The new ones...

There are some scenes in the new ones I really enjoyed: the fight with Darth Maul was good, Yoda's sabre fight and the scene where he flies in with the clone troops was impressive. But there was just something soul-less about the whole thing. It really had no heart. Where was the lovable rogue that was Solo? The hopeful innocent that was Luke? Where was the snappy dialogue? Hell, where was any dialogue that was worth listening to at all?

Yuk
