Your other hope is SPEILBERG?!?!? The man has no story sense \\and// none of the feeling for when an effect will work that Lucas has (can you name any scene in any of Speilberg's work that carries the immediate impact of the opening shot in SW IV? Did you see Poltergeist? That whole movie is an effect with incredible impact! Despite what the credits say, Speilberg had his little hands deep in that movie. An article I read said (this is also from Poltergeist): "Speilberg: he knows what scares you." As far as I'm concerned, that movie is the scariest I've ever seen. You don't really have to believe in life after death for it to scare you. Believing in unfathomable evil will suffice. What about Close Encounters? That movie expressed as much awesome good as Poltergeist did evil. Anyway, everyone I've talked to agrees that Lucas blew every available dramatic scene in Jedi. -still-love-ya-steven,-even-after-ET Randy -------
