Epic in terms of production maybe. Some of those oscars would have been deserved I'm sure but the films didn't work for me. Too many problems (and I'm not talking about plot deviation).

"pretty epic" is a bit of an understatement I'd say
In terms of productions maybe? Ummm, well wouldn't you agree that The Lord of the Rings is pretty much THE epic fantasy tale of them all? I mean, it doesn't really get any more epic than that, story-wise. And IMO they did a great job of putting it to film.

what? no mention of the infamous:

"NOOOOOOooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" line?

Yeah, absolutely. I think that it was a big help that they knew that all three were going to be made no matter what, but even then Lucas knew that he was going to have a blank check for the prequels... so go figure. A good story is worth its weight in gold.

Funny you should mention that, because like LotR, the prequels weren't really made to stand alone, and that's part of the difference between them and the old ones, and part of the reason a lot of people don't like them.

I do like them. I actually am not sure I would call this one better than Attack of the Clones, because I just seriously loved that movie, but it's awfully damn good if you ask me. And I know you didn't, but shut up.

I'm just a dyed-in-the-wool Star Wars fan... what can I say?
