	== Attack of the Clones (good thread title btw) ==

	Incidentally, and while the ] article is virtually unreferenced, the single reference it contains —besides the "war epic" one to ]— is an essay by ], where he says about the issue, as quoted in the article:

	{{cquote\|The word ''epic'' in recent years has become synonymous with ''big budget B picture.'' What you realize watching ''Lawrence of Arabia'' is that the word ''epic'' refers not to the cost or the elaborate production, but to the size of the ideas and vision. Werner Herzog's ''Aguirre, the Wrath of God'' didn't cost as much as the catering in ''Pearl Harbor,'' but it is an epic, and ''Pearl Harbor'' is not.}}

	So, do you think it is a viable approach to determine a film's inclusion in the category of epic films '''(i)''' ], '''(ii)''' ] stated in another Misplaced Pages article? ]:] 05:34, ], 2008

	:No, I rather agree with Ebert. ''Big budget B picture'' is spot on. The Star Wars franchise has been ''marketed'' as epic, but that's simply an advertisement exploitation of the term. ]:] 05:39, ], 2008

	::Thanks, and sorry if I came across as a little defensive. You see, I've tried educating Star Wars fans about this before. ]:] 05:45, ], 2008

	:::I beg to differ. Only episode V is a truly epic experience. To me it's the masterpiece of the series, and far surpasses the others in every single aspect of screenwriting, directing and acting. episode IV suffers from a rather empty story (although less apparent than in the horrible episode I), the usual sluggish directing of post-American-Graffiti Lucas, and the lack of the Imperial march. Episode VI features those annoying furballs for the children audience. ]:] 06:06, ], 2008

	<nowiki>:</nowiki>D There's also a few other reasons why VI sucks. See e.g. . Also, ever noticed how Carrie Fisher, hot as she was back then, is always leaning against or holding onto something? That's because her drinking problem was progessing quickly. I also once read that Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams regularly had to be dragged away from cocaine parties for the shooting to begin. ]:] 06:14, ], 2008
	:I'm not discussing I-III. They happened in another continuum. If I think of all the things Lucas could have done, it makes me puke blood. A better visionary (one capable of making epic films...) would have listened to the postmodern discourse and carefully incorporated this into the film. Some of what I mean can be seen in the RDM Galactica re-imagining. ]:] 06:17, ], 2008
