First, he's doing a new release of THX 1138 with new digital effects added, proving once again that he is compulsively incapable of leaving his movies alone once he's finished them. Has the guy forgotten what made his movies good in the first place?
And, the title for Star Wars Ep. 3 is just bad. Revenge of the Sith? Did he just have to have one of his movies with a "Revenge of the...." title or something? (recall, Return of the Jedi was originally supposed to be Revenge of the Jedi until too many people complained that Jedi aren't supposed to take revenge).
Maybe George wasn't so great to begin with, he just got lucky, but whatever the case, the only reason I'm probably going to end up seeing Ep. 3 opening day is because of childhood nostalgia.

Posted by: James at Julio 26, 2004 02:40 AMKathryn, you're right! George's ideas are not so unique. The title for Episode III kinda sucks too. But on the other hand, I think I will even take a day off from work, so that I could watch this thing on May 19. I think I just can't resist this Star Wars addiction.
