Of course he can who's gonna stop him. It's not a banning offence.


He may not get banned but he will lose the respect of the members here.

Listen, I know you are knew here but you need to respect that some people like things that are different than you do. You cannot tell somebody that they cannot like something, or that they can't quote a film they like no matter what you're opinion on it is.

Now I usually try to be a pretty nice person but you're Arrogance and Ego are really beginning to frustrate me. Having Aspergers does not give you a right to be like this. In fact you remind me of the countless people who are misdiagnosed with Aspergers just because they don't have a filter and say whatever they want no matter how rude it is too people.

Xenu, I've only been here a little while but I've certainly seen posts from you that are just like the one you quoted, or worse.

@Mutate: I used to have mixed feelings about them when I was a kid: I never watched Phantom menace until I was older, I thought Attack of the clones was okay, and I liked Revenge of the sith. but even as a kid, I always liked the original trilogy better. I just love Darth Vader. I thought he was awful in Revenge of the sith

imbatshitcrazy I think that you agree with my thesis that the prequels are made for kids. Also Hayden Christensen is one of the worst actors ever. However, I liked the final lightsaber duel between Anikan and Obi-wan and I think that Ewan McGregor acting is good.

@Wedge: i agree with the fact that the prequels are made for kids. Hayden Christensen is indeed one of the worst actors ever. but, i liked the final fight at first, but it gets boring. it is like watching a guy juggle fire for 3 hours, it is impressive at first, but it drags on. but what i do like is the fact that obi-wan pwns anakin. it was nice to see hayden christensen burn :D ewon mcgregor is okay, he doesn't help the mediocrity of these films. he is nowhere near as good as alec guiness. HE was awesome

Despite Jar Jar Binks, that stupid kid and the politic stuff Phantom Menace was an OK movie, I would give it 3 out of 5. The film got more interesting after the pod race. Attack Of The Clones was slightly better despite the silly love story and Hayden Christensen's acting, 3 and a half out of 5. Revenge Of The Sith was much better, 4 out of 5 and Christensen was better in this movie than the last.

Yeah I actually liked the prequels, whatever the reasons people hate them they aren't apparent to me.

I don't really like Jar Jar Binks like the rest of you but I do like that Robot Chicken sketch where Jar Jar(voiced by original actor Ahmed Best) is annoying Darth Vader. He's only to be liked in these type of things and not the films or Clone Wars series.

i've just watched the whole star wars film series this past month. the original series is better than the prequels by a landslide IMHO

I honestly tried to watch the prequls but couldn't really cope with the fact that they look newer than the originals! If they had made the prequals with puppets and limited CGI maybe I would have enjoyed it more...

As for Jar Jar Binks... I want him 6 feet under...

That's all I have to say.

The Ewoks were a forerunner of the hell that was to become Jar Jar Binks.

George Lucas ruined movies. I don't think there has been a decent blockbuster movie made since the prequels save maybe moments of LOTR. Avatar was painful to watch. James Cameron should have been shot after T2 saving the world from the shipwreck of his writing and direction.
