The Phantom Menace and Netflix
-
Been watching the SW movies recently on Netflix. Saw 4,5,6 (in that order) and then saw 2 and 3. 1 (TPM) is still showing as "very long wait" :-( Redbox doesn't have TPM either. I wodner what's so special about SW 1 that it's in so much demand, specially considering that many fans consider it the worst of the 6 movies. :~

Maybe they are just embarrassed about putting it on?

I think each of the 6 movies has its place.

People are renting it and then microwaving the disc, claiming it never arrived. At least that is what I do. It is on permanent #1 spot for netflix. :-\

So that's how you do, Nish. I would be interested to hear from others: If you had to subject a person who has never seen any of the SW movies to the entire series, what order would you show them in then? 1) The release order: 4,5,6,1,2,3 2) The chronological order: 1,2,3,4,5,6 3) Some other order determined by the dark side... ???

Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't.... Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

Just because a thing is new don’t mean that it’s better - Will Rogers, September 4, 1932I can't remember where, but I read recently that this is a good order... 4,5,(1),2,3,6 Where 1(TPM) is optional, and you save Return of the Jedi till last, so as not to give too many "spoilers". I take no credit for this, I just can't remember where to give credit to. Iain.

If you show them in chronological order, then people are going to wonder why, in a Star Wars universe of really, really shiny metal, Darth Vader looks so horribly low-tech at the end of episode 3. By getting them used to the lower (but better) quality of special effects, you innoculate them to this.

They could have made him a more sophisticated and better looking arm, but he deliberately went for the Steam Punk option.

You know, I don't think Darth Vader smoked hash... :confused: Yoda might have, though. That sure would explain a lot! :doh:

It certainly isn't very good (and the critics rate it generally lower than the other 5) but honestly... I like it better that #2 and #3. IMO "Revenge of the Sith" is just plain awful!
