Multimedia, AV With the computer market exploding into success the last 20 years more and more movies are featuring people using computers. Being a computer geek myself, I expect a level of "technological reality" for the movies that are not in the realm of "sci-fi", but directors usually are feeding their movies with superficial scenes about computers just for the happy clapping from the computer-illiterate audience.

"Let's talk about Star Wars : Obi-Wan Kenobi got "vaporised" (for lack of a better term) by Darth Vader's lightsaber. Yet, in episodes 1 and 2, when characters were struck with that same weapon, they didn't disappear. Was this an afterthought from the producers ? Another bummer : the first trilogy racked in so much money Lucas decided to add another one, but backward. Problem is episodes 1 and 2 feature more sophisticated technologies than episodes 4 to 6, which are supposed to happen later. Isn't it stupid, what producers can do just to get more bucks ?"

I decided not to watch any of the 3 prequels. Was I right?
