I hope this turns out to be the best Star Wars movie ever.



EDIT: Of course, it won't.

I predict episode 3 to be better than the previous 2, but sub-par compared to the origional trilogy.

Well, as much of a StarWoid (it's like a Trekkie for SW fans) as I am, I couldn't stand Ep 1 and 2. However, all the stuff I've heard (officially and the rumor mill) point to this one will tie this and the original trilogy together, and will most likely be a hell of a lot better than the first two (though that's not saying much) Anyways, I'm hoping for the best, but getting ready for the worst.

I mean, they still have Hayden Christiansen, who is neck-and-neck with Orlando Bloom in the race for "least emotion possible in a dramatic role."

What does he care? He has new fans, people who will buy all the new merchandise. And he's got the old fans, who are stupid enough to see it on opening night, desperately hoping that it'll be better than the last one...

Poor fools...

Episode Two blew mostly because of the first half of the movie being entirely unecessary. Episode One just blew altogether.

They shoulda had more foreshadowing of Anakin turning evil. I mean, that's what everyone wants to see. Him slaughtering all those Sand People was cool and all but there needs to be more evilness!

Let's make a list of cons for each.

Major Episode 1 Cons:

Jake Lloyd, worst actor ever.
Are you an angel?
midichlorians
jar jar's lines first half of the movie
anakin flying a ship at the end
Qui Gon not disapearing at death

Major Episode 2 cons:

Anakin/Amidala Dialog
Yoda overusing his form of backwards speech
R2 randomly having jets (could be stricken from the record if he gets them removed in episode 3)

Episode 2 wins.

Major Episode 2 flaws: The plot.

To the rest:

R2 having rockets isn't so horrible. Just because he didn't fly in later episodes doesn't mean he couldn't. Keep in mind the fact that the empire does a heavy demilitarisation stint.

Are You an Angel? Falls under the shit lines of Anakin. Already falls under Jake Lloyd. Jar Jar is Jar Jar. He didn't really get better or worse int the entirety of two movies. Though he was instrumental in the downfall of the Republic, so he's got my vote for character of the series.

Qui-Gon not disappearing: Covered in Star Wars before, so I don't see why it's such a big thing.

Anakin Flying a ship: No worse than the pod race, and so far, it's the only real indication of him being anywhere near the Hotshot pilot he grew up to be (and Luke ended up as).

Episode 2 Flaw: Anakin's teenage angst. "I'm the greatest Jedi ever! though I've accomplished nothing but being a whiny little bitch who only appeals to misguided 15 year old girls..."

R2 would have used the rockets had he had the ability in the later movies. Think about it, why would he have gone by ground when he was seeking out Obi-Wan in ANH? He would have used jets to go much faster.

I didn't think Jar Jar was as bad as most people did, I thought he became a better character throughout the movie. At first he just seemed really stupid and a bad character, by the end he wasn't nearly as annoying.

Qui Gon had time to prepare himself to disappear, it implies that the second he is done talking with obi wan he dies.

I guess I was more thinking about his lines during the ship flying scene. "I got him" just so damn stupid, even for a supposed 9 year old

In episode 2 anakin did seem stupid with a lot of his lines. "I killed them. I killed them all" and shit, still nothing compared to jake lloyds lines in episode 1.

I'll get the episode 3 DVD just to get it. I'm not a fanboy, I watch the whole movie once, and later I just skip to the lightsaber duals (The last two movies had kickass ones). Episode seems lightsaber friendly, so I'm gonna snag it. I won't see it in theaters, fans who complain are the WORST EXPERIENCE TO THEATERS SINCE BLACK PEOPLE.

1) Like I said. Demilitarisation. The Empire cracked down on all sorts of things, including strong shields, fast hyperdrives (Han has a .5, but he's a smuggler), and all sorts of fun tech.

2) Heavily damaged droids.

3) flight ceiling/range issues? Might have made more sense for him to stay on the ground, especially as he would have been even less conspicuous if he was flying around.

I preferred Jar Jar to the Ewoks, frankly. I'm just stating that he really didn't get any better or worse in the course of the movie.

So did Darth Vader. Hey, he didn't.

No no no...It's not an issue of taking time to prepare yourself. It's an issue of spiritual matters.

Yeah, but to be fair, all of his lines in TPM sucked.

Yeah, but they weren't writing for an idiot kid. at least by the time he's an idiot teenager, most people have a better idea of how to write a character, and a reasonable expectation that the kid involved can act.

Still, Anakin was a less important character in the first movie. He really didn't have much of a place, except as a plot device. In the second movie, he was supposed to you know, be a character. They really failed, so it's more detrimental for the character to have bad lines than for the plot device to have shit lines.
