Star Wars Episode III

[cqb101]

Just ordered my tickets for the 12:01 AM show of Episode III on the 19th. I can't wait!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v45/cqb101/icon_thrash.gif

Anybody else going at midnight?

[That Matt Guy]

Yeah, I'm seeing it at midnight.

[Barkworm]

The trailers were so great that my expectations have reached an unhealthy level.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I'm seeing it at one of the premire parties in LA at Midnight.

[damnhooligan]

Haha! May 18th, 8pm GMT +1. I win!

[BartAllen]

yeah. im seeing a midnight showing.

[cqb101]

Haha! May 18th, 8pm GMT +1. I win!

Not fair! :|

[Lioness-Goddess]

*bounces around excitedly* Star WARS Star WARS Star WARS!!!! WHOOO!!!!

I'm excited. :P

[愛]

Midnight show with Voltron. Got the tickets right here on my computer desk. I can't wait...

[Jo Dawn]

Yeah. my brother got tickets for the midnight show about a week ago.

I, however, don't... *tear*

S'ok... he'll tell me how it was!! :)

[Turtledude2k3]

I am not going to be going to one of these midnight showing because I have to work on the day it comes out but I planned with my sister and her boyfriend that we are going to see it on opening day. Possibly during the evenings..

[Anarky]

As for me, I'm going to see it... uhm... sometimes. Whenever I have spare time and nothing better to do. I was so disappointed from the first two episodes, I don't expect much of III. Shame though, because there would be so many great ideas in the SW-universe.s

[Barkworm]

I've just rewatched Episode I and II and boy, II sucked! I actually think "Phantom Menace" was a little better. Nevertheless I still have high hopes for the new one.

[That Matt Guy]

I've just rewatched Episode I and II and boy, II sucked! I actually think "Phantom Menace" was a little better. Nevertheless I still have high hopes for the new one.

I've done the same, and I have to agree. The Phantom Menace was a lot better than I remembered it being than it was the first time around.

[Brodie]

The Clone Wars toons were better than Ep 2.

[Anarky]

The Clone Wars toons were better than Ep 2.

Clone wars was better than Episode I and II together. It actually managed to make the movies sort of interesting. But, well, we'll see.

[Barkworm]

The Clone Wars toons were better than Ep 2.
Absolutely. Especially Anakin was a lot better in the show.

[Anarky]

Yeah, he was silent. The German dubbing is terrible, I tell you. Why can't we just have it like the people up in Finland have it? No dubbed movies but subtitles.That'd be so much cooler.

Okay, good, I might have to add that I find Hayden Christensen to be the biggest casting mistake since the invention of Science Fiction. At least, I can't think of anybody worse than him. He's going to be Darth Vader and yet he's such a perfect son in law. Bah!

[Barkworm]

I think he'll act a lot better in the new movie. Watch the trailers, it really looks like he has improved.

[Anarky]

It's not his acting, it's him. He just doesn't look like Darth Vader, he looks like some spotless hero-jedi type of guy. He is not that schizo type who is tempted by the Dark Side. He just is the person who obeys orders.

[cqb101]

The Clone Wars toons were better than Ep 2.

I've always said that the best thing to come of the Prequel Trilogy is the clone wars toon.

[Duke]

I've done the same, and I have to agree. The Phantom Menace was a lot better than I remembered it being than it was the first time around.Phantom Menace would have been a lot better if it wasn't for that kid who played Anakin, and Jar Jar. Although I'm probably the only person on earth who liked Jar Jar more than Anakin in that movie. Not that I don't think Jar Jar sucked, its just that I could cast him off as a character that never should have existed in the first place. On the other hand Anakin was an essential part of the triology but that kid could not act. Show some freaking emotion when you're being thrown away from your mother who is forced to live the rest of her life in slavery.

But with that being said I'd take Phatom Menace over Attack of the Clones anyday. Although Clone Wars greatly tops them both.

[ZariusTwo]

Episode II is great if you take out the romance scenes, it's right up there with Clone Wars in my opinion.

[Hannah]

I havent seen Ep 1 or 2, and my brother says they suck, so I'm probably not going to ever. But I think I might see 3..

[Anarky]

You probably want to see Episodes I and II including Clone wars. Then you'll understand the movie, well at least you'll get what it's all about. Otherwise I'd say the money is wasted.

[Peanut]

I won't be going to a midnight showing, because there isn't one at a theatre close to me, plus I'd have to go alone. I am going to all the showings on opening day, though.

As for the movie itself, I think it'll rock. I loved Episodes I and II, so I know I'm going to love this.

[Turtledude2k3]

Ep 1 and 2 are good espeically the action scenes. the space battles are all good in the star wars movies.

The clone wars toon was really well-done and made by the same team who made Samurai Jack, etc. However 3 mins is a littl short but I am glad they made the last 5 (chapter 21-25) 12 mintres instead of 3 minutes and chapter 25 leads right into epsidoe 3.

[Peanut]

Anyone see this? It's the little Lego ROTS mini-movie. It's pretty ridiculous, and only a couple minutes long, but it's still pretty neat. It has some cool little moments.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Well, honestly, I liked Episode I, except for the whole Jar Jar thing...although I don't hate him as much as some people. However, I freaking loathe Episode II. It's like:

Cool battle scene! Yay!
Running through flowers. Boo!
Kick Butt Yoda! Yay!
More running through flowers. puke in bucket.
Oh look, even MORE running through flowers....

Lol, but Episode III looks mighty cool. I hope I'm not disappointed.

[IceFlash78]

I personally liked Episode II better than the Phantom Menace because it was much darker. Please realize that I'm not a fanboy, and I haven't read ANY of the Star Wars books or what not...

However, the "lovey parts" was meh, but what really drew me in was the darkness and the connections to the Twins Trilogy. You could see Anakin's anger and fear throughout the movie, especially when he tries to save his mother and kills the bantam camp... You could see traces of Darth Vader in him.. of what he COULD/WILL become...

I was also amazed at the parallelism... I.e. Clone Troopers/Storm troopers. When i first saw them, I was like.. "OH.. so THAT"S where the storm troopers came from!" A friend explained to eme later that Storm Troopers weren't clones, but were actual soliders, while Clone troopers were clones of one solider...Still, their design.. it's nice to know the origins of stuff fromt he original trilogy! Also.. Anakin had his hand cut off, just like Luke.. For me, it was interesting how their lives were.. i dunno... began so similiarly, or had similiar elements... (sorry, for not being more trough.. I might later..) and then went into two different directions.

True, the movie had its faults.. I was distracted by/annoyed with Anakin's perfect, shining teeth... and some parts were dragged and some fights felt.. "boring"... but i consider it superior to episode I, and it did a good job starting to connect the two trilogies together... On its self, it's an alright movie, but if you insert it in the STar Wars Movies (remember, I haven't read the books or seen the tv show yet), it shines.

[Hannah]

From the sound of it, you guys just dont like romance. Makes me wanna see episode two so i can praise the romance and annoy people. XP

[IceFlash78]

From the sound of it, you guys just dont like romance. Makes me wanna see episode two so i can praise the romance and annoy people. XP


Well.. I didn't mind it as much... I think the part that annoyed me the most was the fact that in Episode I, Anakin was a boy while Natalie Portman's character was.. idk.. 18? then in Episode II, Anakin's a 18, making Natalie.. 25? I have nothing against relationships with older people, but for soem reason, the age difference bothered me.. If Anakin was atleast a teenager or something in Episode I, fine.. I get the feeling that Anakin's just a boy who's in love with a "mother figure"...

Whatever... when I got over it, I didn't midn the romantic parts

EDIT:

It's not his acting, it's him. He just doesn't look like Darth Vader, he looks like some spotless hero-jedi type of guy. He is not that schizo type who is tempted by the Dark Side. He just is the person who obeys orders.

I think that's the whole point... We're supposed to be "shocked" that he turns to the Dark Side.. Anakin's not inherently evil.. It would be soo predictable if Anakin was "evil" and turned to the Dark side... Its more interesting if he's a good jedi, possibly the greatest Light Jedi, who was just corrupted by the Dark Side who fed upon his emotional issues, turning him into Darth VAder..

Besdies, we need to explain the whole "There is good inside him" from Return of the Jedi...

[ZariusTwo]

From the sound of it, you guys just dont like romance.


Yes, catergorise everyone just because they hated badly written, badly acted scenes that brought what were supposed to represent the most poigant moments of the movie down :roll:

[EZweasel]

this is the best tv spot i have seen for episode 3. it truly looks amazing..almost makes you want to tear up, but im not one to cry..anyways here it is.

[The Stryker]

Can't See it at Midnight... :cry:

But Hey! My Life-size Yoda Plush will help me until Saturday...

[ThirdMarioBro]

Okay, I for one have loved the prequels. Ep. I only ahd one thing that pissed me off and that was attempting to scientifically explain the force. DUMB idea. Other than that, it was fine. THe Yoda Muppet looked WAAAAY more fake than anything though. THey should've just modeled it after Empire more because he looked like sh*t. The CGI at the end was even worse as it didn't even move like him. That's something they'll have to re-do in the future. Nothing will ever own the Darth Maul duel though (yet). Now, in Ep. II he looked AWESOME. Just as good, if not better than the muppet. II was everything I had been wanting. Now, III is bound to be excellent. For one, there are no parts meant to appeal to kids. George Lucas claimed kids shouldn't even watch it. No Gungans, and no Jar Jar. This one's tragic, this one's miserable, and this one's going to be awesome. I was good, II was great, but I expect this to be freaking awesome.

On a note, go and buy the soundtrack. It has an extra DVD which has and extended version of the trailer. Very good. It'll hype you like crazy.

[Peanut]

I'm with TMB in this boat. I loved the prequels. I agree, Episode I was good, Episode II was great, Episode III will be amazing. I have no doubt about that in my mind.

[The Stryker]

I liked every episode of Wars. But Manakin in ep.1 really made episode 1 my least favorite

and Yoda saved Ep.2 in a Big way. "Who Da Man?.....Yo-Da Man!"

*Shudders*

[Kid Icarus]

I won't be seeing the movie until the crowds die down.

Burger King starts their little advertisment thingy this week... We put up our Vader standee yesterday... the thing's bad ass, if you ignore his protruding cod piece.

[That Matt Guy]

Jar Jar and the Gungans would have been a lot better if they had different voices.

[ThirdMarioBro]

You know.......you're right. That, and that damn deformed speech (Heysa, why notsa yousa andsa mesa gosa killsa ourselvesa :lol: ) is what ruined them. :lol:

[The Stryker]

Man if only the rumors were true, That Jar Jar was to become a Jedi eventually.

Maybe then he would be cool.....Nah

[Peanut]

Jar Jar and the Gungans would have been a lot better if they had different voices.

I agree, to an extent. They were still stupid looking creatures, but they would have been much better without those ridiculous voices.

[DrSpengler]

Anybody read the thread over at Rotten Tomatoes where Kevin Smith tries to defend his review of the film? If not:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/showthread.php?t=410113&page=1&pp=30

It eventually (further) degenerates into an arguement between him and an 18 year old girl. Kinda sad yet entertaining.

[ZariusTwo]

It'as threads like that that make me honestly wonder why Lucas bashers deserve to call themselves Star Wars fans...because if they think reactions like the ones in that thread are remoltey well structured and mature, then there not even a blip on true fandoms' radar. It's a sad state that the term "fake fan" actually has a definition with these peasants.

[Kid Icarus]

Ha, I so swiped the first 6 toys from work XD.

Anyone wanna see pics of them? They're pretty damned cool.

[That Matt Guy]

I have 1-40.

[Anarky]

I saw a movie poster at the station today showing Yoda wielding a lightsaber. But... what did they do to his hands? I mean, does Yoda really have claws? I remember him having little hands.

[Peanut]

Yeah, they've always been claw like.

[That Matt Guy]

Less than 24 hours before I get to see it. I'm f***ing stoked.

[Barkworm]

A little more than 10 hours till I'm going to see it. I win! :lol:

[That Matt Guy]

Curse you and your time zones.

[Barkworm]

But I will have to watch a dub so... yeah.

[BartAllen]

yes, i cant wait. im seeing it tonight! midnight. ill post a review for you guys tomorrow. later guys.

[The Stryker]

I Haven't been this Psyched to Be disappointed since Episode 1!


I keed :D

[Zachatello00]

I got my tickets. Who else is going? Are you dressing up? I think I may at least take my Vader saber.

[Anarky]

I am still going to see it.. uhm... sometimes.

Anyhow. I merged Zach's "Who's going"-thread with the official "Episode III"-thread.

[愛]

Leaving for Voltron's house in an hour. We're getting there early for some DDR action and to hopefully see some sad individuals dress up. It's going to be quite a show that shall not disappoint. And if it does, well, I'm jumping in front of a train.

[Barkworm]

First one!!! :D

SPOILERS:
Lots of light and some nasty shadow. Anakin turning to the dark side was (much to my surprise) not too rushed, but actually quite believable and very well done. And the Palpatine/Anakin scenes had - for the first time in the new trilogy - good dialogue! Kudos to Hayden Christensen, he has definitely gotten a lot better. Some of the scenes with Padme were still very cheesy but overall he did a very good job. The CGI has also improved a lot, especially Yoda looked awesome. The final lightsabre duels - amazing. Finally some scenes that were really worthy of John Williams "Duel of the Fates". Chewie actually had nothing more than a cameo appearance but I enjoyed it. The cameo felt less forced than 3PO's role in the movies.
On the con side there was still a lot of crappy CGI, some cheesy lines and Grievous could have been better. Without a doubt the biggest disappointment of the movie to me was the "Darth Vader in full gear" scene. His lines about Padme and the final "NOOOOO!!!" were just lame and didn't feel touching at all.
Anyway, an overall excellent movie with many memorable scenes. Not even the crappy Vader scene could ruin it. I didn't like Episode I and II but this one definitely made up for them. If you still have doubts about seeing it, forget them!!!
I have spoken.

[ZariusTwo]

Not even the crappy Vader scene could ruin it.


"Crappy Vader Scene" my ass...that part of the movie was, poigant, meaningfull, he had lost the one thing he had tried to protect whilst walking the path of the dark side, any Star Wars fan can appreciate and grasp the reason behind his reaction, It's called IRONY.

And it was'nt suppossed to be "touching", it was supposed to be a scene where a merciless b*stard got what was coming to him for wiping out most of the Jedi and allowing Sidious to seize control

And Episode II is'nt remotley bad on repeated viewing, although "Phantom Meance" honestly becomes worse...odd...

[damnhooligan]

Second (well, third) one! Europeans, unite!

I'm by no means a follower of the Star Wars universe. I probably haven't seen the first three (or is that the last three?) since the 80s, and I've pretty much forgotten what Episode II was all about save for the fact that Hayden Christensen was painful to watch, and Natalie Portman went through 20 different costume/hair changes.

I hit an 11pm showing, and the theater was absolutely packed. Never seen it so crammed with people in the near 3 years I've been here. All in all, it was a solid movie. About 50% lightsaber battles/war, 20% Anakin/Padme angst, 20% Obiwan's sage advice/badassery and 10% Yoda squinting at things. Like Barkworm said, Christensen has gotten much better. He was so tolerable that I for once noticed just how hot he is when he's brooding. The 'cheesy' cameos and scenes made me laugh, but then again I yelped "IT'S A TRAP!" at one point, to everyone's dismay/amusement.

Best part of the moviegoing experience for me was when Padme admits "Ani, I'm pregnant," and some dude behind us yells an indignant "WHAT?!" Everyone cracked up.

I actually liked the idea of the scene very much but it was poorly delievered IMO. And thanks for telling me what a Star Wars fan appreciates. :roll:

[The Stryker]

Oh Snap! :D

[愛]

I don't even have to put this in a lengthy speech. I'll say it was unbelievable and everything I wanted it to be. A true masterpiece. Everything about it was beautiful.

[Voltron]

I second that. It was total redemption in my eyes. Ironic...

[GK Punk]

I loved the movie. I wanted to have sex with it.

[That Matt Guy]

Execute order 66.

The death of Ki-Adi-Mundi brought a single tear to my eye.

I loved this film, but Grievous was kind of lame. They should have had him do more with the 4 lightsabers.

[GK Punk]

Execute order 66.

The death of Ki-Adi-Mundi brought a single tear to my eye.

I loved this film, but Grievous was kind of lame. They should have had him do more with the 4 lightsabers.

Yeah I agree. He was kinda bitch, even with 4 Light Sabers. I was expecting him to do something really bad ass.

[Barkworm]

Question: Grievous had some sort of accent in the German dub, but I don't remember him having an accent in clone wars. Did he?

[That Matt Guy]

No, he had a totally different voice than the clone wars Grievous.

[Barkworm]

So did he have an accent (I can't quite place it, it sounded like a Russian accent to me) in the movie?
BTW, I thought it was a very nice connection to "Clone Wars" that Grievous was still injured from Mace Windu's attack.

[BartAllen]

i saw the movie, but i fell asleep about 45 minutes in. and NO ONE WOKE ME UP. so yeah.. ill have to go see it again on saturday. i hate my friends.

[damnhooligan]

So did he have an accent (I can't quite place it, it sounded like a Russian accent to me) in the movie?
Yep, he had an accent. It struck me as very Uralic, maybe Hungarian/Estonian. But yes, I echo the "Grievous was kinda a bitch" comment. Four lightsabers, dude. FOUR!

[Voltron]

Yeah, and he got his ass owned sideways. In Clone Wars he played the ninja stealth card and ruthlessly murdered those Jedi in that wreckage. In this he just did some fancy saber work for about three seconds until Obi-Wan had enough of Greivous's crap and just well...broke his heart.

Hunka hunka burnin love, huh?

[raphael_is_cool]

Utterly brilliant. You could really feel the emotional impact in this one (I think Williams helped loads though)

I agree though. The 'Darth Frankenstein' scene was clumsiy and the 'she's lost the will to live' bit was a bit silly. I guess you've always got to have cheesy/bad dialogue if it's a Star Wars film but they could've had 'She's slowly suffocating, but we don't know why' or something more convincing.

But, despite these, I love it.

[ZariusTwo]

I actually liked the idea of the scene very much but it was poorly delievered IMO. And thanks for telling me what a Star Wars fan appreciates. :roll:

Well, I AM one you know... :lol:

Sorry, I thought you were thrashing the scene completly, not the performance, which was'nt that bad.

I pretty much could'nt stop laughing myself at that scene

...By the way, how many flipping cuts were made to this movie? No Dagobrah, no revealtion from Sidious about Anakins' birth, nothing of that sort, the scenes were exclusive to specific theatres due to the CGI involved

[Barkworm]

The idea of the scene is great (who wouldn't want to see an angry Vader smashing stuff?) but the performance completely ruined it for me. I also thought Christensen looked too skinny as Vader but maybe I'm imagining things.
EDIT: There were deleted scenes?! Tell!

[Jester]

*sits back with popcorn* This is so much cheaper than actually seeing the movie...*munch*

[Jo Dawn]

Went to the midnight show...


SPOILERS


I liked it. Alot better than the other two newer ones. Though, a bit too much Yoda for my tastes (sorry, never been a fan...)

And the one thing that really got me was R2D2. I don't like that they added abilities to him that he didn't have in the original three, just 'because' due to technological advances, they COULD. I don't like that sorta stuff. It cheapens it alot for me.

I liked the Macbeth type thing, in the self-fulfilling prophecy part. You actually felt for all partied involved. Anakin, Padme, and, most epsecially, Obi Wan. I thought Ewan McGregor's performance was great.

Oh, and I found this highly entertaining... Ever since the Original '70s Star Wars, I had joked that Vader turned to the Dark side because his wife cheated with Obi Wan... And when these new ones came out, if just made me think that more. But when he accused her of JUST THAT in this one, I started laughing. Obi Wan and Padme had a HECk of a lot more chemistry than Anakin and she did. Kind of sad... if she'd lived I'm sure they would have gotten together...

Awesome movie... McGregor's Obi Wan rules!!

[ZariusTwo]

EDIT: There were deleted scenes?! Tell!

There were a great deal of deleted scenes, I suspect they'll be eventually released on a DVD, or in the theatrical re-releases in 2006, but here are the following

1. Palpatine reveals he used the Dark Side to manipulate chromosomes and cells in Shimis' body to give birth to Anakin

2. Yoda arriving on Dagobrah

3. Not really a deleted scene, but there was supposed to be a conversation between Yoda and Qui-Gon Jynn explaining how you can acheive the ability to exist as part of the Force, Liam Neeson refused to particpate however

[Brodie]

He musta been too busy with the Nell sequel.

[Voltron]

1. Palpatine reveals he used the Dark Side to manipulate chromosomes and cells in Shimis' body to give birth to Anakin.

While that sounds cool as hell, I think thats a little farfetched...even for Star Wars. :lol:

I mean...did he have raffle or something? Why Shmi? Why Tatooine?

[Barkworm]

If that's true, I'm happy that it wasn't in the movie. It sounds rather ridiculous to me.
I've just realized that the more I think about this movie the more I love it. I can't think of anything but the Anakin/Obi Wan fight.
"YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!" Classic.

[Peanut]

1. Palpatine reveals he used the Dark Side to manipulate chromosomes and cells in Shimis' body to give birth to Anakin

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's just how some people interpreted it. Palpatine never says out-right "I did this! I created you!". It can just be taken that way. From what I've read about that scene, I take it as nothing of the sort.

I also do believe that Liam Neeson recorded dialouge for a scene where he speaks with Yoda, but it was cut.

[ZariusTwo]

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's just how some people interpreted it.

No, the scene exists, read the script in the "Making of Revenge of the Sith" book, it's there.

[Zachatello00]

What was really impacting to me was that I've come to really enjoy these Jedi over the past 6 years. Someone mentioned that when Ki-ai-mundi was killed, they were upset. I felt that way about Kit Fitso and Aalya Secura, and of course Mace Windu.

What I was impressed with was that they turned Anakin into a 3 dimensional character, and not just a whiner like in episode 2, and he was someone I really found myself for the first time caring about. I really didn't wanna see him turn, but knew obvioulsy that he was gonna.

[Jester]

No, the scene exists, read the script in the "Making of Revenge of the Sith" book, it's there.

I don't think he's debating the existance of the scene...just the interpretations of it...it may not be as hokey and unrealistic as some think...

[Peanut]

I don't think he's debating the existance of the scene...just the interpretations of it...it may not be as hokey and unrealistic as some think...

Indeed. I wasn't debating the existence of the scene. I know it's there. I've read parts of it, but I do believe it can be left up to interpretation. Some people take it as Sidious created Anakin, others take it as Sidious knows how to create life, OR the way I take it, Sidious is a complete bull sh*tter and he's just trying to pull Anakin in even more.

[ZariusTwo]

I don't think he's debating the existance of the scene...just the interpretations of it...it may not be as hokey and unrealistic as some think...

Oh, right, thanks for correcting me

I think the scene would've made audiences think Anakin was the chosen one for the Sith, when the final movie contradicts that by having him kill Palpatine

[Jo Dawn]

There were a great deal of deleted scenes, I suspect they'll be eventually released on a DVD, or in the theatrical re-releases in 2006, but here are the following

1. Palpatine reveals he used the Dark Side to manipulate chromosomes and cells in Shimis' body to give birth to Anakin

Um, wait... is the deleted scene him actually admitting to it? Or just saying he COULD? Because there was a scene I saw when he said how his master could do that and 'taught his student' how to do that... It was in the theater where I saw it...

2. Yoda arriving on Dagobrah

Him actually arriving? Or mentioning arriving? Because he mentiones exile because he has failed...

3. Not really a deleted scene, but there was supposed to be a conversation between Yoda and Qui-Gon Jynn explaining how you can acheive the ability to exist as part of the Force, Liam Neeson refused to particpate however

Eh... don't really care about either characters, so a good loss there, heh. But jeez... How could you say no to a Srtar Wars movie?!

Yeah, and Mon Mothma's big scene also got cut. It tied in with how the rebellion started.

[Voltron]

I was wondering where she was. Wasn't Lando and Han supposed to be in this too?

[Zachatello00]

no, but did anyone notice the Millineum Falcon Easter Egg?

[ZariusTwo]

Him actually arriving? Or mentioning arriving? Because he mentiones exile because he has failed...

It was Yoda actually arriving on Dagobah, the "Making Of..." book covers it with an image

[The Clerk]

no, but did anyone notice the Millineum Falcon Easter Egg?


...eh...? where?!

[Deathknight]

Well, it was alright. It was as good as I expected which was to be better than episode 1 & 2 but not as good as any of the original movies. Oh well, still a good watch.

[Zachatello00]

...eh...? where?!
When Anakin and Obi-wan deliver Palpatine back to the senate, as they are landing in that bus thing there is a shot of a bunch of different ships landing. The MF is on the lower right half of the screen. It's only there for a breif moment, so you have to really look for it.

[Peanut]

Just got back. Blown away! It was so awesome. BTW that whole "creating life with the Force" thing was in my version. I really don't see how people could think he means he created Anakin.

[JameO]

This movie was totally kick a$$. Yoda was so awesome as well as R2 showing how such a little droid can outsmart even the toughest opponents. Just beautiful.

[The Stryker]

OK....Greivous was owned.....WHY!? he was so bad-ass in the Toon. and even voiced by Bender! why why...so i changed my Avvy to a More Worthy Star Wars Character.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Ha Ha Ha :lol: Excellent burn (though I like Jar Jar, and I havent seen Ep 3 yet.)

[Barkworm]

Just got back. Blown away! It was so awesome. BTW that whole "creating life with the Force" thing was in my version. I really don't see how people could think he means he created Anakin.
I think that scene was in every version. It would be a huge strech to think that it meant that Palpatine created Anakin.

[The Stryker]

If that Plotline really did happen i think Anakin would've reacted with an Awkward "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Im sorry but that scene took me out of it for a good minute

[That Matt Guy]

Vader's "NOOO!" was no worse than Luke screaming it in ESB.

[Rikirk]

I liked the movie, non stop eye candy from start to finish. Especially the first 10 minutes over Coruscant.

I felt like Anakin gave himself over to Palpatine a bit too easily,...but I knew it had to happen some way. Oh Well...

Dare I say the film was the best of all of them?....still havnt decide on that one yet.





And I do not like what happened to Mace Windu...
No sir not at all...very unbefitting.

[ZariusTwo]

OK....Greivous was owned.....WHY!? he was so bad-ass in the Toon. and even voiced by Bender! why why...so i changed my Avvy to a More Worthy Star Wars Character.


Well, at the conclusion of Clone Wars, Grevious was injured by Mace in the torso, and the injury is carried on into the film, at least you have an excuse...

[BartAllen]

Well, at the conclusion of Clone Wars, Grevious was injured by Mace in the torso, and the injury is carried on into the film, at least you have an excuse...
and to take zarius point a bit further. dooku says. that if grevious went up against a master not just a knight. that he would have to rely on intimidation which he didnt do against obi wan.

[Peanut]

I'm just sitting here reflecting on the film right now...does anyone think it could have used more Wookie? That part where Tarful led the charge against the Seperatist droid army was so awesome. It makes me think about how much more cool ROTJ would have been with Wookie's instead of Ewoks.

[Brodie]

Man that's been my gripe since yesterday, I needed more Chewie. Anyone else laugh when Yoda was picked up by Chewie like a baby?

[Mondo J. Gecko]

:D
...
Man that's been my gripe since yesterday, I needed more Chewie. Anyone else laugh when Yoda was picked up by Chewie like a baby?
more wookiee's whoulda been awesome... yeah I definatley laughed when Chewie picked up Yoda... or when Yoda walked into Palpatines office and started talking smack and knocked out the guards with the wave of his hand... that was hilarious... The movie was pretty good... definatley the best outta the new series... but not anywhere close to the old ones... well maybe close to New Hope... but still the old Star Wars are much better... Loved seeing everything coming together though... and Darth Vader being born... and the Obi-Wan/Anikan Fight rocked... as did the Yoda/Palpatine fight...
I felt like Anakin gave himself over to Palpatine a bit too easily,...but I knew it had to happen some way. Oh Well...
Yeah I thought that too, it kinda seemed to me like he didn't have to think about it much... it was kinda like "ok, alright, I guess i'm screwed anyways, and you can save padme, well thats a bonus, sure i'll join the darkside"... and I agree that the giant "NOOO" by Vader was terrible... though the building of vader's suit was awesome... good show all in all... but not the best star wars...
...
:D

[Leo656]

Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT. I thought it was so good, I and II even looked a little better now that we see where everything was going.

I went to the midnight show with Mary and my Dad. Kicked ass. We're going again tomorrow. I can't wait for the DVD so I can finish my Star Wars DVD collection.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Rock on man. I thought it was the best of the six. The thing was so damn gorey, it was AWESOME!

The movie makes the first two seem so much better now tat you see where it was all going to end. They really did take you from "Go Anakin!" to "You didty son of a b*tch!" I mean,when he killed the children I just shuddered, but then the Padme thing.....dirty bastard. The ending was perfect and it linked the two trilogys seamlessly.

I felt so sorry for Padme. I always knew he'd do it to her. I'll be damned though if Yoda didn't raise all kinds of hell. He kicked the most ass ever.

Oh, and Palpatine was absoultely brillient. They actually made him scary. They did him so damn well. That fight between him and Yody was untouchable.

Now I understand why Anakin became Vader. He did it for love which is the saddest thing. Even when you hate him, you feel for him. His transformation was so graphic. I loved it. They did it the way it should be done, and I'm proud of them.




Anyone else notice that Grevious was that sith Palpatine was talking about.....the one that could create life........get at what I'm talking about? Huh?

[The Clerk]

oh yeah, went to the midnight show, loved it. The only thing that kind of got to me was that Mace Windu was kind of... more mean in this. In the first two he seemed like a good guy, but in this one...

Obi wan/Anakin was just prolly the best saber fight in all the movies.

Heh, yeah, i had the kind of crowd where they cheered at alot of the stuff.. and when Chewie picked up Yoda, the crowd went crazy and cheered. Same when R2D2 lit the gas on fire...

[Shadow Leonardo]

I rate this movie:100/10 it was freakin AWESOME!I loved everybit of this movie.Anakins and Obi-Wans fight made the theater flash in brilliance!I am definetely seeing this again! :D

[Voltron]

What bothers me the most about this film is that Anakin doesn't really seem to be Vader at all. In OT Vader is always this calm, calculating figure who never loses his cool. But when Anakin becomes Vader in this he still has that fiery temper. Where did it go in those two decades between the trilogies? Just doesn't sit right with me.

Did anyone else see that?

YES.

That bothered both myself, and My Girlfriend.

[The Stryker]

Well i Guess Vader was JUST turned into vader at that point and Anakin was still more prominent in his personality, And over time he grew to accept his role as the Dark Lord.

Thats My explanation.

I would put ROTS right Behind ESB for best Wars Movie, Weird how evil wins at the end of both.

The Vader of ANH had a fiery temper somewhat, he ran right into the Tantive IV screaming to tear the ship apart. Maybe being flung into space after the Death Star blew up turned him cold.

[IceFlash78]

I loved the movie! It really made up for PM and AotC. I think its on par with the old movies. (I still can't decide which old star wars movie I like better, Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi..)

I loved this movie... THe Obiwan/Anakin's fight was so sweet. One of the best lightsaber fights (other than the RotJ fight and i GUESS maybe the ESB). I perfer lightsaber fights with alot of parrying and slashes, which this fight had. I actually feel sorry for Anakin.. I know he doesn't deserve sympathy for all the things that he did, but even then, I felt sorry...he had lots of mental issues and fears that was never really resolved (especially about his mother) that just pushed him to a point of no return. Also, Voltron... maybe Anakin's temper cooled down over the years as he lost hope and realized that he basically f**ked up his life?

I only have three minor complaints about the movie.
1) Grevious... I know he was injuried from the Mace Windu's attack in Clone Wars (I saw it), but still.. he was pretty lame. I was hoping for some HUGE MONOLITH that just basically DEMICATED the jedi and that he would have put up a better fight against Obiwan...

2) I felt cheated when Mace Windu fought Palpatine... I mean.. It's the greatest Jedi Master against the greatest Sith Master, yet the fight was pretty brief, and then when Anakin jumped in, Palpatine just blasted him out of hte window... I felt.. cheated.. I know it wouldn't have fit the story (and his death DID) but I wanted Mace to have a longer fight and a better, more fittening death. Basically, I guessed I wanted another Yoda/Palpatine fight...

3) Some of the force jumps seemed little bit odd. They seemd to be little bit too "quick" and unnatural. Maybe it was just the theater, and the fact hat I don't see force jumpin often, but i thought the speed of the jumps was little bit too fast.

[Anarky]

Well, it seems that "uhm... sometimes" was sooner than expected, as in tonight. I just saw the movie. My first thought afterwards was: "That's it?"

There's too much missing. Somehow there are 20 years missing, and I do really want to see what happens during those. I mean, somehow Chewie and Han Solo meet up and stuff.

And isn't it odd, that they have the Death Star half built by the end and are still building 20 years later. And then the thing gets blasted apart and they have a new one within months (well almost)? That struck me a bit odd.

Also, why did they delete C3PO's memory in the end. And "because in EP IV he doesn't remember Obi Wan" doesn't count. And I daresay that R2D2 knows a lot more about the happenings than C3PO.

And why the heck did JarJar have to be in that movie? Why?

As for the lightsaber-battles. They were almost too fast. I only got the part where Obi Wan slices Anakin apart by accident. Also I felt that there were too many lightsabers too near to the camera, as in they took up too much of the picture.

And why did the Jedi die that easily?

But all in all, a good movie. It deserves the name Star Wars. I wouldn't say it was outstanding, but I felt entertained.

1) There's always time missing between these movies, a few years go by between each episode.

2) The first Death Star was completed by Episode VI. The next one was started a few years later.

3) The story doesn't take place entirely on the screen. All forms of media ranging from video games (Shadows of the Empire) to comics to novels bridge the gaps between the films. You just need to dig around for the information you want.

4) The droid's memory had to be erased because they had knowledge of the Skywalker twins and their whereabouts. If the empire got a hold of either 3PO or R2 they could extract the information. It was done for the saftey of Luke and Leia.

5) The Jedi were caught off guard and were overwhelmed by the clone troopers, Anakin, and Palpatine. Also keep in mind that both Palpatine and Anakin are powerful opponents.

6) I dunno why Jar Jar was in there. I was kind of hoping they'd burn him in the lava, too.

[Barkworm]

I actually liked Jar Jar's little cameo. At least he didn't talk.

[Anarky]

2) The first Death Star was completed by Episode VI. The next one was started a few years later.
I know, but it took thme 20 years to build the first one, well at least the missing half of it, but they build half of the new one within months. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

4) The droid's memory had to be erased because they had knowledge of the Skywalker twins and their whereabouts. If the empire got a hold of either 3PO or R2 they could extract the information. It was done for the saftey of Luke and Leia.

They only erased C3PO's memory in the German dub, nobody was talking about R2D2's.

5) The Jedi were caught off guard and were overwhelmed by the clone troopers, Anakin, and Palpatine. Also keep in mind that both Palpatine and Anakin are powerful opponents.

But as a Jedi, with all those enhanced senses and awesome skills... I mean Yoda got away, why didn't, let's say Aayla Secura, get away too? And you certainly hear it when a guy behind you gets a direct order from a Sith Lord.

[Voltron]

You have a point. I guess the only explanation I can offer is that they were looking at the prototype Death Star, which is just the frame and the super laser. That comes in later.
http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/books/weg/jasb1.gif


The R2D2 thing is a smidge off. But what I'm more curious about is why Vader doesn't recognize C3PO when they see each other on Cloud City?

But to be fair, Star Wars never made much sense in the first place. There are just some parts where you just have to enjoy the movie and not question the physics in play.

[Anarky]

The R2D2 thing is a smidge off. But what I'm more curious about is why Vader doesn't recognize C3PO when they see each other on Cloud City?

Probably because the C3PO-models soon became a standard-model. There are plenty of C3PO-units running around, so Vader couldn't possibly point out "his" C3PO.

[ZariusTwo]

I know, but it took thme 20 years to build the first one, well at least the missing half of it, but they build half of the new one within months. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

It would have been twenty years since the last one was built, technology evolves, or the Empire pilages enough planets to construct another one quicker with sufficent resources.

But as a Jedi, with all those enhanced senses and awesome skills... I mean Yoda got away, why didn't, let's say Aayla Secura, get away too? And you certainly hear it when a guy behind you gets a direct order from a Sith Lord.

Only Windu and his Jedi Knights knew Palpatine was a sith lord, through Anakins' revelation

Plus the Jedi are'nt as reliable when caught off-guard by Clone Troopers created and programmed by a SITH LORD, Yoda could'nt remotley tell Anakain would betray them either, besides, the Jedi might have assumed Order 66 was a code for "break for lunch"

[Spitfire]

Okay so I saw it today. It was the best out of the new ones no contest there. It was umm cool in some parts and kinda lame in others. The dialog was pretty bad espcially in parts when Anakin and Padme talk. I liked how they explained everything that was good and I also liked how Anakin lost his legs and his arm. Im not really into to Star Wars so Im not sure how it stacks up compared to the other films. Ive seen them all but I really dont remember any of them it was so long ago. One problem I had with this movie was the battle scenes. It was like watching thousands of colored lights flash in front of me the whole time. It really hurt my eyes in some parts. But other then a few minor things I cant complain it was a nice way to tie up the series

[The Clerk]

i just saw it for the second time... this time i saw the MF (yay!) and George Lucas. The first time i saw it the dialog between Anni and Padme seemed not that great, but the second time around it seemed better than i remember... odd

[DrSpengler]

Saw it last night.

It was a definate improvement.

My only major complaints:

Jar Jar didn't die

Grievous was a waste of a cool character, just like Maul was

Dooku got killed in the first ten minutes

Darth Vader going "NOOOOO!!!!" was absolutely lame

Other than that, yeah, I enjoyed it. Might even go see it a second time

[Peanut]

http://darthvaderno.ytmnd.com

[the Dark Knight]

Yeah, I was soo happy after seeing this. I'm not a big fan of the prequel trilogy, but this one for me finally really felt like a Star Wars film. One of the problems I have with the other two is that to me, they don't feel like Star Wars, they feel like something else. This movie finally felt like Star Wars. My favorite Star Wars is ESB, but ROTS in my opinion is equal to ROTJ.

As if seeing this movie didn't make me happy enough, I also got to see trailers for Fantastic Four and Batman Begins!!! ::Boooiiinnnggg:: :o :)

[Raph's Girl]

Just saw episode 3!!! Totally awesome!!!


My only complaint was that Kashyyk wasn't exactly as I expected.....it certainly didn't look like the description in the books. From the books it's described as a jungle planet who's people live high in the trees because the ground is too dangerous. Where the heck do beaches come into play??? Im thinking that may have been just a small outpost on the planet and not one of the major tree cities. But it was WAY kewl to see Chewbacca and his brother!!! :D

Other than Kashyyk I loved the movie.... Yoda kicked butt and R2 kicked butt even tho he seemed to be the butt of everybody's jokes.... all the funny stuff happened to R2D2. :lol:

Oh and the droid warriors!! I noticed that as they were being sliced by the light sabres they screamed and went "ow ow ow!" :lol:

[The Clerk]

er.... i was remembering ANH and Ben Kenobi says to luke "your father always wanted you to have this(talkin about the lightsaber)" ... and Anni never said that to Obi,.... Obi just took it....

[That Matt Guy]

Uhm yeah while Anakin is laying there; burning to a crisp do you think they should have had him say "Oh by the way Obi-Wan, I want my kid to have my lightsaber someday"?

Does it really matter?

[ZariusTwo]

er.... i was remembering ANH and Ben Kenobi says to luke "your father always wanted you to have this(talkin about the lightsaber)" ... and Anni never said that to Obi,.... Obi just took it....

What would you have said? "I took this from your father after I pwned his ass?"

[Anarky]

Well, let's say "It was your father's..." I mean, that'd sound somehow better.

But I wouldn't say "pwned" (mainly because I hate that word) but sort of "I took this from you father after I cut his legs and arm off and left him to burn in a lava-pit". Sounds a bit more convincing.

[ZariusTwo]

[Wingnut]

I know, but it took thme 20 years to build the first one, well at least the missing half of it, but they build half of the new one within months. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Remember "Clerks"

That movie explains all of it, the Empire hired independent contractors to build the second one...

BTW Zarius im going to sig that :lol:

[The Stryker]

After Seein Episode 3 for a second time i got an idea for a fanfilm. "Pimp My Apprentice" is coming yo' way son!

[ThirdMarioBro]

I watched it again. It's now my favorite movie. It finally felt like Star Wars, and justifies the existence of the first two. I love it so much it's crazy.

Honestly, I don't think there is a single thing they could have done better. They restored my faith.

[The Stryker]

My only problem was the Lightsaber fights, Yes they were more athletic and crazy but there isn't much emotion in it. In the OT thats what made the Fights great. They furthered the plot while delivering an action scene.

but its still a kick-ass movie.

"Not If something to say about it, I have"

[Anarky]

Okay, Star Wars is now officially going on my nerves. I can't hear that blasted theme anymore, I just can't. All this bloody advertising. I mean, the film was rather good. Nothing spectacular, but good. And now this. "Get your Burger King drinking cup - Star Wars drinking cup", "Inflatable lightsabers in every Kellogg's box", "Star Wars Kids Meal", "Star Wars this", "Star Wars that"...

It just annoys me.

[Brodie]

Anarchists annoy me.






I smell a burnnnnnnn.

Ha. Joking.

[Anarky]

Well, you know, it's not the movie that annoys me, it's the damn merch flood coming with it. I mean, what does Anakin Skywalker have to do with breakfast cereal? Absolutely nothing. And they all use the same damned piece of music.

[That Matt Guy]

It's all about official Palpatine toilet brushes.

[Brodie]

....I bought one of those...

[Peanut]

Well, you know, it's not the movie that annoys me, it's the damn merch flood coming with it. I mean, what does Anakin Skywalker have to do with breakfast cereal? Absolutely nothing. And they all use the same damned piece of music.

Wow, welcome to the world of marketing. What the hell does anything have to do with breakfast cereal? What did Shrek have to do with a KIA or Holiday Inn, or Spider-Man have to do with brushing your teeth? It's like this for every big movie.

[Anarky]

PaaaPaaaa Papapapaaapaaa...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/Anarky/other/LSbrush.jpg

I bet Lucas would love that thing.

Wow, welcome to the world of marketing. What the hell does anything have to do with breakfast cereal? What did Shrek have to do with a KIA or Holiday Inn, or Spider-Man have to do with brushing your teeth? It's like this for every big movie.

Marketing? Never heard of that... tell me more. What bugs me is the amount of merch there is. There's everything and it needs to be shown every single damned comercial break. That's what annoys me. Merchandise, OK. Movie, OK. Comercials, No way.

[GK Punk]

Well Anarky, they actually did all of that with the original Trillogy as well.
After seeing Ep 3 multiple Times, I like it ALOT more.

Aayla's death still bothers me though.

[That Matt Guy]

Because she just fell over and had her corpse used for target practice?

[Brodie]

And really, can it even be considered target practice if it doesn't move?

[That Matt Guy]

Stormtroopers can't hit moving targets.

[Anarky]

Stormtroopers can't hit moving targets.

That'd explain why Luke and co flying the Millennuim Falcon never got hit. Amazing. So, after all, it wasn't the Corellian Tech that made the Falcon the awesome spaceship it is. :D

[Mandi-chan]

I just got back from seeing it! That was so worth it! I loved it, it was much better than the other two. I want more! Yoda kicked ass, and Anakin's actor did MUCH better this time (he got cuter too :P ).

Was I the only one deeply disturbed by the part where Anakin apparently kills the little kids, we didn't see it happen but still....oh no!

Best line in the entire movie: "Not If something to say about it, I have"~Yoda~ :D

[GK Punk]

Because she just fell over and had her corpse used for target practice?


Totally. They made her seem so useless, but she's not. (Going off the comics that is) It would have been nice to see her atleast cut one Storm Trooper down.

...Although her coprse being used for target practice was pretty damn funny

[Mecha Cow]

Wow, that movie was pretty. And absolutely nothing more.

I really wanted to like this movie, and I guess I did. I sat through two and half hours of it, and I was entertained. But looking back on it, it was a pretty mediocre film.

Wait, I was supposed to feel for Anakin, right? For the tragic noble hero who turns to the Dark Side for his lover...Who he tries to kill after a little disagreement? Well, oops. I didn't. And I don't think Hayden Christensen did either. The dude couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Maybe he could, but he sure as hell wasn't trying. I didn't care about what happened to Anakin, because he was a wooden puppet. I didn't feel bad for him because he was a whiny, angsty little puppet with a messed up set of morals.

'Kill him.'
'It's against the Jedi ways.'
'Kill him now.'
'But...Aww man, it's, like...No...Man.'
'KILL HIM!'
'...Man...Fine.'
ZHAAACK!
'...What have I done...?!'

F*ck you, Pinocchio Skywalker.

He was a loser, plain and simple. I didn't feel bad for him, he got what he deserved. He massacred an entire temple of children in the hope of saving his lover. Then a little bit later, he tries to kill her because she was crying. And instead of giving up on that idiot, she 'loses the will to live', even after witnessing the birth of her own damn children. Way to go, Lucas. Kudos on the people skills.

But as awesome as that all was, nothing beats 'Order 66'. You know, where the human soldiers are ordered by a guy they barely knew or even trusted to kill the people they had been fighting beside for the past three years. Also worth noting is that they do so without even flinching. I don't want to hear any 'But they were clones! They were programmed to follow orders!' nonsense, they were HUMAN, and part of the most idiotic piece of filmmaking I've ever seen (*E* I mean this in regard to the scene, not so much the entire movie).

Whatever. I'm not even going to b*tch about the pathetic 'lovescenes' ('No, it's because I'm so in love with you!') or the droids who scream in pain. At least Jar-Jar kept quiet.

To be fair, as much sh*t as I just gave it, it was a fun night at the theatre, with impressive special effects and great performances by Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid and Frank Oz. It wasn't neccesarily a bad movie, it was just in my honest opion not very interesting behind all the CGI, and that's a real shame.

[Spitfire]

Hahaha this is great
Dont read this unless you've seen the movie

Well...any other webcomic, when compared to PA, is completely and utterly destroyed. That, and I found nothing funny about the comic.

[Brodie]

A) The comic did suck.
B) Penny Arcade is amazingly superior to any comic thats main characters are cats.
C) Dante wasn't in it, so it must have sucked.

[愛]

I remember the strip from VG Cats about the consoles sitting down for dinner and that family conflict. That one was pretty funny.

[Anarky]

Haha! That strip was funny. Mainly for two panels.

"Our love is like the lovely river of loving, love!" Somehow that line could really have been said in that scene before Anakin has his nightmare.

"Best love story ever" Need I say more?

And does anyone know why Grievous was coughing all the time?

[愛]

I believe Mace Windu kicked in Grievous' chest cavity in the second season of Clone Wars. That's why he was hunched over and coughed a lot.

[Anarky]

But then how was he even able to cough? I mean, it certainly didn't look like he had lungs to cough with...

[愛]

Didn't see the episode when it happened, nor any of the second season for that matter, so I couldn't tell you. Perhaps someone else can.

[The Stryker]

well he did have a heart...so many there were lungs in there somewhere.

But yeah, Windu did a weird Force-choke like thing on Grievous' chest and it caved in.

[Anarky]

But if he had lungs, how was he able to breathe in Space. He's been out there for quite some time before he reached the escape pod.

[Spitfire]

But if he had lungs, how was he able to breathe in Space. He's been out there for quite some time before he reached the escape pod.
Plotholez....that or the TV series has nothing to do with the movies, Ima go with that

[The Stryker]

But if he had lungs, how was he able to breathe in Space. He's been out there for quite some time before he reached the escape pod.

Hm...He's a Crazy Robot thing...who knows?! Yeah its kind of a plot hole to be explained in an EU book or something.

in Ep3 we learned that even droid Generals can Get Tuberculosis, Its another lucas-fun-fact

[Anarky]

or the TV series has nothing to do with the movies

That was all in Ep. III, shortly before Anakin crashlanded that big ship in the beginning.

Hm...He's a Crazy Robot thing...who knows?! Yeah its kind of a plot hole to be explained in an EU book or something.

You could consider Grievous to be an early version of Darth Vader. He used to be an organic being but had just that on battle too much. Well, he apparently got cut up good and then made into what he is today.

[Barkworm]

:lol: The VGcats strip was awesome. "This high ground adds a +5 to my agility!" Priceless.

[That Matt Guy]

But if he had lungs, how was he able to breathe in Space. He's been out there for quite some time before he reached the escape pod.

It's just a movie!

[raphael_is_cool]

Maybe Grievous has some robotic emergency oxygen supply. Or he has some gas converter thing (like the jedi underwater breathing apparatus).

Fill your own plotholes :p

[Voltron]

It's just a movie!

Wait...whoa... I thought this really did happen long ago in a galaxy far, far away...:| Oh, this is stupid, then! What a crappy bunch of movies. No wonder I failed all those history papers! Dammit...

[Peanut]

But if he had lungs, how was he able to breathe in Space. He's been out there for quite some time before he reached the escape pod.

It's over analytical bullsh*t like this that drags these movies down.

Here's a question... shouldn't Padme have lived long enough for Leia to remember her? Think back to Return of the Jedi, Luke asks "You remember our mother, what was she like" and Leia answers him.

[IceFlash78]

Here's a question... shouldn't Padme have lived long enough for Leia to remember her? Think back to Return of the Jedi, Luke asks "You remember our mother, what was she like" and Leia answers him.


Hmm... I just saw Return of the Jedi last weekend.. I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't remember what her EXACT words were, but my impression when she answered Luke was that she didn't have an EXACT memory/image of her mother. She just had feelings associated with her mother that she might have "attached" to some image... Perhaps her powerful connection to the Force helped her obtain those feelings?

[Brodie]

Plotholez....that or the TV series has nothing to do with the movies, Ima go with that


Lucas has said that Clone Wars was the official 'what happenss between.'

[Midnight_Tanuki]

Heeeeeeeeey kids! It's time for the ASTHMATIC ANDROID!

I never saw the show so yeah I dont know what the hell happened in it. But I do know that robot dude had organs so he was a cyborg...and since his organs were protected by a shell or sorts we can assume his lungs were being fed oxygen like a space suit...only enternal. That's just my theory

I read on another forum that Leia had her eyes open and looked at Padme. In Rotj Leia also says that she was very young and can't remember anything but blurry images. Since those two kids are special, I guess that's a sufficient explanation.

[Anarky]

It's just a movie!

But... Jedi... far far away...

... part of me just died. :D

Surely she was just referring to the Organa she knew as her mother. Leia or Luke don't even realise they're related till the very end.


Otherwise, if I'm wrong (I'm not sure when exactly Luke asks: before or after he finds they're related?) since Padme was some Senator and stuff there might have been some 'film footage' of her.

[Midnight_Tanuki]

I believe Leia was talking about the Organas since they probably never told her she's adopted for her own safety. So Leia assumed they were her real parents. Otherwise, she'd have known she was related to Luke if she'd known about Padme.

[Peanut]

Luke specifically says "your REAL mother" in ROTJ, so I'm sure Leia knows she was adopted.

[Voltron]

That would've been priceless, though.

Luke-"Leia...do you remember your mother? Your REAL mother?"
Leia-"Are you making fun of me because I was adopted?"

Or better yet, a Springer show "Imperial Paternity Tests." I gotta write this down...

[The Stryker]

As long as Springer gets the force choke, Im good.

Anakin could speak... Droid?

That seems like something that would have fit more organically with The Clone Wars series.

I mean, Luke seemed to understand R2 pretty well, so who is to say he couldn't speak back in Droidish dialect if he really wanted to.

[snake]

That’s hilarious. Hayden actually seems like he’s having some fun in that scene. I’m pretty sure canon-wise that Anakin CAN understand binary, but whatever.

[CyberCubed]

Jesus this thread is from 2005. I was still a young lad back in the early 2000's before I became so old. Man I miss the early 2000's so much.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Bingo! Aaaand there it is, the prerequiste post from Cubed groaning about "growing old". Lol never change, Cubed. We love ya.

[Leo656]

"Love"... "tolerate"... I guess there's a lot of crossover. :trazz:

[snake]

Cubed's obsession with aging and time sort of depresses me. Imagine living in the past so hard that seeing a post from a previous year turns you into an old man.

[Vegita-San]

why not?

Although UNDERSTANDING droid is a bit easier to accept than a human actually speaking the beeping language.

[CyberCubed]

2005 is like 14 years ago now. I was only uh...I think 20 back then, give or take.

[snake]

Holy sh*t, Cubed. You didn't even hit 40 yet, buddy. Seriously, do some more stuff while you're young that isn't on the internet or nostalgia related.

[Leo656]

He hasn't been around as much lately. Less than ever before. I imagine he found some snooch and has been killin' it hardcore. Good for you, buddy!

That's what I said. Dude's a full-grown plumber now, laying pipe and everything.

[MikeandRaph87]

Ah, I went to the midnight premiere that day. Back then I was a student instead of a teacher in the same building. The good old days before people realized The Phatom Menace was not the peak poor mark in Star Wars lore.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

I remember going to see Episode III at the cinema when it came out. I think it was probably the first Star Wars film I saw at the Cinema (with Force Awakens being the last. Didn't bother with Last Jedi)

I liked it. it has been a long time since I've seen it though. Still beats the sequel trilogy, unless they can redeem themselves with Episode IX

[ZariusTwo]

(Looks back in thread to see if I contributed)

Wow... I was actually defending "Do Not Want":o

[sdp]

I don't think there's a post of my thoughts in EpIII here but I hated the movie, it ruined so many things of Star Wars for me for the sake of appeasing "fans", Yoda and the Emperor moving like idiots, Anakin having no real motivation to turn to the dark side, killing Dooku as if he were nothing, the Clone Wars randomly ending, Jedi being killed by simple clone troopers, shoehorning Chewbacca for no reason. There's very few scenes that are great in that movie but there are a few that I like.

Ep3, killed my love for Star Wars for nearly a year, I was able to mend wounds after a year or so but it did affect my thoughts ont he franchise. I can't say I was ever as huge of a SWs fan as I was before Ep3 ever again but I remained a very big loyal fan until Ep8. I think with Disney Star Wars the damage is too much, I'll remember the OT fondly and parts of the prequel era but anything Disney just feels like something entirely different than what I liked, instead we have a new worse version of the thing I already liked.

[Andrew NDB]

Episode I is the best, most complete prequel movie. Fight me.

[Leo656]

I'm in no mood for a fight but I would definitely be interested in seeing you extrapolate on that opinion, sir.

I kinda don't have too many problems with III, myself, but then I thought all of them were various levels of decent. Maybe not the movies people expected (or wanted), but that's an End-User Problem, and I didn't really hate what they came up with. I do think the scripted lines were terrible and the acting/delivery of those lines was even worse, across all three of them, and that's a shame given the cast. But otherwise I think they're alright.

[Sumac]

Episode I is the best, most complete prequel movie. Fight me.
I agree.

It was the most cohesive out of prequels and kept atmosphere of the originals. Lack of Heyden was a bonus. And I never made a big deal about Jar-Jar. He was just kind of "there" for me.

There were few things that could have made the movie better though, like expanding on the backstory of the conflict. Episode 1 was the first Star Wars movie, I've ever watched and I didn't had any idea of what was going on in terms of factions and politics. I was just thrown into the whole story without having much of the idea on what is what. But, nevertheless, I had enjoyed it, which means it was a good movie after all. I wouldn't like a movie with incomprehensible plot otherwise.

Episode 2 and 3 were worse in my opinion. Episode 2 was a bad melodrama with bland and boring leads and Episode 3 wanted to be some tragedy, but, again, bland leads and cheesy acting made it all look bad.

I don't think there's a post of my thoughts in EpIII here but I hated the movie, it ruined so many things of Star Wars for me for the sake of appeasing "fans", Yoda and the Emperor moving like idiots, Anakin having no real motivation to turn to the dark side, killing Dooku as if he were nothing, the Clone Wars randomly ending, Jedi being killed by simple clone troopers, shoehorning Chewbacca for no reason.

I agree with almost everything.

Though I liked battle between Yoda and Pal. It was stupid, but it was really something I wanted to see for a long time.

[Leo656]

I've apologized for George Lucas for many things, but I cannot fathom how he took THAT cast and managed to end up with a career-worst performance from every single one of them. That deserves some kind of award in itself.
