Dole 17 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 According to TheForce.net and AICN, Jonathan Hales, who co-wrote the screenplay for Star Wars Episode II, will return to co-write Episode III. I think this is horrible. AOTC has the worst dialogue in the entire saga in my opinion, yes even possibly worse than the innumerable "yippeees!" in TPM. The dialogue in the love scenes was like something out of a rejected Danielle Steele novel. Oh well. AOTC has pretty much made me give up on SW. If Lucas can come up with a great storyline (AOTC has the best IMO since Empire) and still manage to screw up the script and leave his actors to fend for themselves then I'm not holding my breath for what Episode III may bring. By the way, does anyone know why Lawrence Kasdan who wrote the screenplays for ESB and ROTJ wasn't brough on board for the prequels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpeteer 302 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Oh, Mr. Dole. It's not like this is 1980 and you're saying that you're giving up on the Star Wars saga because The Empire Strikes Back blows. Then I'd understand...sorta.Take my advice: give him one more chance. Three strikes and he's outta there! .... And even if he doesn't strike out, he's outta there! Besides, aren't you the least bit anxious about the musical possibilities??????

ocelot 509 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Lawrence Kasdan did have a falling out with Lucas... However there are plenty of great screen writers he could draw upon... Even if the same guy is returning, just don't have ANYTHING written by Lucas. And for heavens sake, get a director to direct for this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UCFKevin 0 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I just gotta say that the name Dole and the picture you have are the funniest things I've ever scene. Kudos. I almost spit my mouthful of water into the monitor. I immediately thought of the good ol' days when "Dole" was a regular on Conan O'Brien's guest TV screen. "Dole?"Anyhoo. I don't think it's a bad thing, but I don't think it's an official thing, either. It hasn't been officially confirmed, so we'll see what happens. I don't think the dialogue was that bad, honestly, but besides, if there WAS bad dialogue, it would be the lovey dovey stuff, and since they're already married in Episode III, maybe there won't be any schmaltzy cliched lines. Hell, that's the way it works in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Yeah, I get sick of the prequel bashing too sometimes. I like 'em... I don't know why so many don't. The worst Star Wars movie is better than about 99% of the rest of Hollywood save Spielberg. Usually I'm only Spielberg and Star Wars. The rest don't do much for me...Hence, I do dream about the Indy dream team for a Star WArs flick. I know it won't happen, but I dream of the possibilities.

Guest Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Yeah, I agree with you that the Episode II script wasn`t very good written- as some of you may already know, Jonathan Hales wrote the script for "The Scorpion King", and for you haven`t seen that movie, I can say that there was just action and humour, no story at all. And I think that the same thing happens to Ep III as well. Before I saw Episode II, I thought : "The Phantom Menace was all junk. My hopes for this one are not high. If this one appears to be crap, I don´t think Ep III will do well either". And I was pretty much right. Episode II is no film that you remember. I think Lawrence Kasdan should write the script alone, based upon a story by George Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dole 17 Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 Besides, aren't you the least bit anxious about the musical possibilities??????I am actually more interested and excited about the music for Episode III than the film itself. I actually like the score to AOTC more than the movie and that's something I never thought I would say about a Star Wars movie. Unfortunately, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high for the music because I'm certain it will just be destroyed in the film as usual. Dole: who almost screamed when he saw AOTC for the first time and heard that the best parts of the score "The Meadow Picnic" and the "End Titles" had been hacked to pieces!

Ricard 2,248 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Luke, when I read your post I immediately thought you were referring to downloading movies illegally. But I don't understand why you have to make such assumption just because I said I wouldn't pay to see Ep.III. As I suggested in my previous post, there are other ways to watch movies for free.And I'm not willing to re-start a debate here regarding MP3s or their presumed illegality. We already have an entire thread specifically devoted to it. And if you didn't see my personal opinion over there you won't see it here either.
