secracium Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 i'm wondering what the correct term is for the saga in it's entirety. i mean, there's "trilogy", but i can't find the correct term for a series of six literary or dramatic works; "sixology" isn't even a word, but i've seen a lot of people using it. what are some of your opinions?

NAZGÛL Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well you have the Original Trilogy and then the other 6 hours of worthless CGI crap. Comon now, the prequels are not the classic SW but they are great films. Just a different approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secracium Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 A full set of six would be called a sextet. yeah, this is what i was looking for. i kept coming up with variations on this, i.e. sexology, etc . . ., but this is what i wanted. thanks. i have an external terabyte HD and i've been ripping my dvd collection to it as well as adding some not so much purchased ones from netflix, so i've been categorizing and trying to label everything correctly.

runewolf[TK] Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 LOL, well if it wasn't for the other movies, my wife would just believe I was a nutzo Star Wars geek. But the filled in story line (yes even JaJa), has changed her mind. Now that it makes more sense to her, she likes them all and doesn't groan when I play ANH for the 15th time in a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyboy Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Traditionally, a set of six of anything is called a sextet. I don't know that there is really a word for a set of six movies, as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDUEUNO Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well you have the Original Trilogy and then the other 6 hours of worthless CGI crap. True, true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8224[501st] Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Just out of curiousity, isn't sextet used about fx. a group of people, like duo and trio? Then there could be something else for movies. Trio and trilogy is two different words, and at least in music terms sextet "belongs to" duo, trio, quartet etc. Just asking because I'm interested in this, being a teacher in both music and english (as a second language).

TK-8224[501st] Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Found the answer on wikipedia, of course. 2 Duology, and to a lesser extent dilogy (Greek) have been used in some pairs of sci-fi novels. 3 Trilogy 4 Tetralogy Quadrilogy has been used to describe certain film series. 5 Pentalogy 6 Hexalogy 7 Heptalogy 8 Octalogy 9 Ennealogy 10 Decalogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger68[501st] Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Well you have the Original Trilogy and then the other 6 hours of worthless CGI crap. Um, has anyone else noticed how "out-of-sync" the clone troopers are when they are assembling on Kamino for Kenobi's review? I've seen high school marching bands that are more in sync, and these were supposed to be incredibly well trained soldiers????? Personally, I'll still with the original ANH. Have the original copy on VHS, and burned it to DVD using software...also cleaned it up a little. Great to watch if I don't want to see the extra added people in Mos Eisley. Only downside...less Sandtroopers to watch. <_< Oh well, can't have everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Wait, you mean they made more movies after the Trilogy? I heard that was still just a bad rumor. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
