Star Wars

the editors of The Empire Strikes Back missed something after Luke kicks Vader down the stairs in Cloud City. After that Luke walks to the edge of the platform and jumps off. Then you hear what sounds to be a trampoline that Mark Hammil lands on and then you see his head peak up above the platform. Ha ha

Im disappointed, overall. Lucas made an awesome looking movie world with the most basic of crafting materials. Sure, it sometimes looks better with cgi today, but it's killing such rich creativity and imagination and it's really only for a surface deep difference.

That seems to be an issue for a lot of action movies these days, cover up the mess with CGI. To me, the original Star wars movies was an adventure with lots of creative ideas, interesting and straight forward story between good and evil, much like Lord of the Rings. A whole universe build up with good lore etc. So much potential. And then seeing it just getting ruined, not by CGI specifically, but due to poor storytelling. So you get this feeling that in any action series, whether its Star wars, Terminator, Jurassic park or whatever, they think that if they just add lots of cool looking CGI and actions fights etc. Then lore or storytelling is not needed, it doesn't matter if the story make sense or anything. Which is probably also why they keep remaking the old ones and building on those series, because there seem to be very few people that can actually write good movie stories. So is going to be fun to see, if they will change tactic once they have ruined them all, which I think they pretty much have at this point.
