"You don't last long in his profession playing Rambo all the time."
Cute.
Jango Fett slightly ruined the mystery of Boba Fett, but who really cared that much anyway? He had such a small role that any other random bounty hunter could've filled anyway, and he accomplished A) Finding Han Solo and B) Being an extra in a battle scene 30 minutes into ROTJ. Great. Jango Fett's inclusion gave us the, in my opinion, best action scene of the two new movies. Possibly one of the only scenes worth watching the new movies for.
If I mentioned everything I found bad about the new movies, I would just be reiterating everything that's been said a dozen times before. All I'll say is, the one thing that's infuriated me more than anything else, more than Jar Jar, more than the pathetic battle droids and the annoying droning noises they make, more than the dull acting and corny script... Phantom Menace's plot. Great, taxes are raised and a couple of guys are stuck trying to get parts for their ship. GO TEAM JEDI, I REALLY FUCKING CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE HEROES. I mean seriously... the first movie was about the bad guys trying to blow planets up, the second was about revenge (Or "Striking Back," if you prefer,) the third, even more attempts at making random planets explode. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like a winning formula to me.
I'm not asking for an exact copy of the original trilogy, but perhaps if the gist of what was going on in Episode II was spliced with some features of Episode I to create an almost decent beginning to the new trilogy, and the presumably darker and, also presumably, more entertaining section of the new trilogy was split into the final two episodes, I might give a shit what happens.
