Well, he didn't do a bad job in Jingle All the Way.
I've met him a few times and he is a pretty good person, very level-headed for his age and claims not to recall too much from working on Episode I.
Personally I'm happy that Mr. Prowse (Episode IV-VI Darth Vader) will be there as well, haven't seen too much of him lately.
I hope to see you all there.

A New Hope and American Grafitti and Revenge of the Sith.

Sorry, but it totally, totally sucked (even though clearly the best of the three).

Come on. Darth Vader gets a couple of lines and he said "Where is Padme? Is she safe Is she alright?" "No!!!!"

Pardon me while I vomit.

Suck city.

Creepy!

They are fun and the SFX were always cool. Unfortunately, a few of the SWs film are not just not "good", but are laughably bad.

The problem with the prequels were overall they were not that great. They had some great sequences, ie;Ep 1-Duel of the Siths, Ep 2-Obi Wan storyline and Battle of Geonosis, Ep 3-Yes, the "nooooooooooooo" was cheesy but the last 45 minutes of that movie was pretty awesome. That is just my opinion, out of the original 3 Empire is the best. It still holds up and looks pretty good for a movie that is 28 years old.
