Revenge Of the Sith (Spoilers)
 

Overall.....that was awesome....

When That Helmet came down and sealed......awesome moment......

The moment that really ties in the two trilogies is hearing James Earl Jones's voice say "Where is Padme?"

After that there were no trilogies, there was a saga.

All the little sayings, and visuals that tie the two trilogies together.....it was awesome....

Though really not a fan of General Grievous..... just :n: to that character.

The only beef I had with the movie was the lame dialouge and the bad acting. Sam L. Jackson was really bad as well as James Earl Jones "NOOOO!!!!!". That was lame. But other than that it rivals the originals. I really enjoyed the CGI, the fight scene, Anakin and Palpatine were fucking great though.

I think personally bad dialouge comes hand and hand with star wars. Though.....Those first one or two scenes of Anakin and Padme are woeful....

Bad acting....well yeah wasn't great. Though Hayden and Ewan did an alright job this time around...

Going to see it at midnight tonight. Can't wait. :love:

They all die. There...I saved you from 2 boobless hours.

I'll use my imagination and envision titties on Darth Vader. :shifty:

Yeah I loved it. Hayden managed to act a little bit this time around - the scene just after Obi Wan has cut off Anakin's legs was crazy, both Ewan and Hayden were excellent in it.

Only gripes:

1. No Han Solo :(
2. Vader's AWFUL "NOOOOOOOOOOO" after the death of Padme, and
3. Yoda's random mentioning of Qui Gon to Obi Wan, with NO RESOLUTION WHATSOEVER. What was the point, really.

Other than that, the movie was insane. I went to the midnight screening, people were cheering at the start and end, it was excellent. Didn't know R2 was so versatile. :heart:

Also, yeah, General Grievous irked me a bit. Didn't really explain how he went from coughing, wheezing hunchback to four-armed harbinger of shit-ruining, but that's all good.

Yeah have to agree with everyone so far very good movie.

Also it's very fast paced doesn't let up at all.

Also Ewan and the Emperor(don't know his real name) stole the show IMO.

Yeah it was good times. Def. the best of the new ones.

Since this is a spoiler thread, Anakin killing those kids was a :eek: moment. And him getting burned was sweet.

As someone else said, all the little touches (TIE fighter shaped ships, Emperor's physical appearance etc) was cool.

Wouldn't Han have been really young to even have been in this movie? I don't think he'd have any reason. I think I read that Lucas did try to work him into an early draft but just saw no place for it. But it's cool knowing now that Yoda and Chewie are old friends. :D Anyone else catch the Millenium Falcon towards the beginning?

Overall definitly worth seeing.

I thought it was real good. I watched episode 2 before seeing it and it was 100 times better.

What I liked about it:
-I thought it lead into the second trilogy great
-Anakin was finally a respectable actor

Things I didn't like:
-The light saber battles are no longer sword fights, they are too choppy and up close
-I wanted Coruscant (spell) to be blown up or something, it was just the focus of the first three movies and then it only appears at the very end of Return of the Jedi in the new editions.

I can't think right now, I liked the movie a lot though, I will come back tomorrow and point out more little things I liked and disliked, but overall I think its the best of the trilogy by far.

BTW, there were so many nerds per capita at our midnight showing it was unbeliavable

ALSO, Yoda was amazing in it

The reason you don't see Coruscant in Eps 4-6 really is because the action all takes place in the outer rims of the Empire. Places like Tattooine, Hoth, Dagobah and Endor. No reason to go to Coruscant. It has always been regarded as the 'capital' of the galaxy, even though you didn't see it.

I think that was more about the actual power to do that, to explain in the last movie when Luke can see Yoda, Anakin, and Obi Wan.

My only gripes are the stuff they cut out

Liam Neison (sp?) actually did some lines and acted a few scenes so the ending would make more sense

And they filmed Yoda getting to that other planet and why he decided to go there (a sith lord used to live there so the dark side of the force would cloak his presence there)

Other than that I can't complain about it, it was just fantastic, i'm glad they went down the 12a route, hell looking at Ani at the end could have even warrented a 15!

Saw the midnight show opening night. Absolutely fantastic movie.

Yeah, a lot of the dialogue sucked, and that "NOOOOOOOOO!" was corny as hell, but I'll forgive that since practically everything else about the movie rocked. Just makes me wonder where the hell Lucas was during I and II.

Awesome! Number 2 on my list behind ESB. This actually felt like Star Wars to me. Hayden was waaay better, and it was sooo much darker than i thought it would be.
Some scenes that were great to me:
1. Order 66, the clone troppers killing the jedi.
2. The duels of course.
3. Anakin killing the younglings, this actually made me sick...
4. Vader burning wow!
5. Vader geting suited up with the twins being born.
6. And what made me really believe Anakin had lost it, he chokes padme :eek: i did'nt see that coming.
10/10

swimming in his pool of money

I would have to say it was the Worst Star Wars Movie ever......

Im not saying it was really really horrible but it was like 30 min of greatness....2 hrs of crap.

There was alot of cheasy dialogue in the movie that made me just want to kill my self....

Maybe it wasnt the lines it self but the way the actors said it..

Padme: "Hold Me Anakin...Hold me Like you did by the lake of Naboo blah blah blah blah blah"

Cheasy....

Atleast the fight scene in the end was good. Thats what everyone way paying for anyways. That and seeing Yoda fight once again before he becomes his old hobbit self.

Agreed. But he'll put that in 20 yrs from now in Revenge of the Sith: Special Edition.

Dialogue was crap. Palpatine ruled. Greivous was a wuss... he should have been like the cartoon version in terms of intimidation. Fighting was totally unrealistic but not bad. Romance sucked. A little bit of tightening would have been welcome. Yoda fighting ruled. The end should have featured Obi Wan on a speeder speeding into the sunset with Owen and Beru watching on, holding baby Luke.

Who, as we've finally found out, is the older one.



Love the throwback scenes... Organa, Obi Wan, and Yoda walking down the hall of the same ship that Leia was captured in in Ep IV. The end, with the Star Destroyer, old uniforms, Vader and Palpatine, and Moff Tarkin (looked like).

Best out of the prequels by far, but not sure how it ranks with the original. Empire is still the best, followed by Jedi and A New Hope, but 2nd and 3rd are really close, as is this.

I haven't seen it, but who killed Samuel L?

Palpatine did it....with a hand (ha ha ha) from Anakin....yea not funny

Shoulda been Boba Fett

^

Bobe Fett is the man.

There is no way this was worse than The Phantom Menace.

Great movie and without a doubt the best one I've seen in quite a while.

This was a fantastic movie. I only have a couple of gripes before I get to the greatness:

Gripes
1) The Wookiees really didn't do much. I was hoping that Chewbacca would kill the clones that turned on Yoda, just to kind of cement his badassness.

2) The romantic dialogue was still pretty bad. Better than Ep 2, though.

3) I wasn't wild about Padme naming the twins. Just seemed...forced.

4) Palpatine killed the Jedi (aside from Mace) WAAAAAAY too easily.

Okay, now the good stuff!

<ul>
<li>The saber battles were well-choreographed.
<li>I liked that the representative of (I forget the name of) the planet where Grievous is hiding out wasn't a bad guy. I thought it was a nice change of pace to have this scary dude being held hostage by the Separatists.
<li>The scene where Anakin goes into the temple was terrifying. Particularly when the kids are so thrilled to see him, but you know why he's really there...
<li>TARKIN CAMEO!
<li>I like that scene at the end where Yoda is telling Obi-Wan about communicating with the dead. Without having to show anything, it segues nicely into Eps. IV-VI.
<li>There are still some unanswered questions. Was Sidious Pelagus' apprentice? If so, did he create Anakin in Shmi?
<li>Anakin's descent into the Dark Side actually made sense! He didn't just turn for some random reason, like I was afraid he might. They actually used his line from Ep. II where he tells Padme that he's going to become so powerful that he can stop people from dying.
<li>It was eery how much Ewan McGregor looked/sounded/acted like Alec Guinness at times.
<li>Palpatine was scary. as. hell.
<li>The look on Dooku's face when he realized he had just been betrayed.
<li>The Neimoidian begging for his life before Anakin slices him open.
</ul>

Yeah, I could just go on forever, so I'll stop there.

But I am thoroughly satisfied with this movie. Kinda sad now that it's all over (movie-wise, anyway).

ROFL @ Yoda walking in that room and just killing the two guards

were you hoping they just wouldn't name them? it's not like everyone didn't know what the names were gonna be.

dude you went to an ashlee simpson concert :o

lol @ my kane knight style of posting in this thread.

Yeah, that was awesome....

My nerd side is comming out to play....

Just little things i loved the most, how ships looked like they do in IV on.....
They way it finished was awesome...Just last 3-4 minutes of images looking old school, bare star wars. Loved it.
I can't wait to see it again, though first I will watch the OT. I really do love the little suttle tie ins.

DAMN YOU ANAKIN! DAMN YOU FOR TURNING TO THE DARK SIDE!!! :shifty:

It was good, but just way too sad...however, it was expected. Good thing the good guys won in Episode 6.. hahahaaaaaaaaaa

Just saw it... loved it.

it's funny when you're watching and you know who's gonna die and then when it happens you're like... SHIT :(

:y: He was fucking amazing!

yea so.....

This was the first star wars movie ive ever seen where I was just bored off my ass at one point. Im not saying it was a bad movie or anything. Its just compared to all the other ones I didnt like it as much.

The Phantom Menace was fun to watch. It might not have had the most action in it but it was fun to watch and not once did I ever get that bored feeling.

The Attack of the Clones even though it was mostly a love story was also still fun to watch. It had alot more action than Ep 1 and everything was better than it.

Maybe im just let down by this new Star Wars movie because I had high hopes for it. I wanted to go into this movie and just get blown away. I wanted to walk out of that movie going "Oh My God...That was the greatest movie ever made!!!!" but the only problem is that it wasnt what I was hoping for. I had high hopes for it because this was supposed to be the big FIGHT movie. All the Jedis get killed off and Anakin turns evil and the big end Lightsaber fight. I had high hopes the only problem is there was alot of mixed stuff in between.

Im sorta like the Comic book guy...even though I didnt like it as much as the others...im still gonna see it 4 times this week.

I was actually kinda hoping Bail and Owen would name them separately.

But again, that's just me being picky. That minor disappointment was smothered in a sea of amazement.

Well, it did seem like Padme was just in a rush. Luke... *groan gasp push* LEIA!!! *dies* Well, she does mention a bit about there still being good, but still. A traditional (even if it's a bit sappy) Padme holding the babies and saying "this one will be Luke, and this one will be Leia" would have worked better IMO, just cuz it seemed like she was just labelling things.

Then again, with her whole "lost the will the live" even though she's STILL PREGNANT thing kinda suggests that mothers can abandon their children. Unintentionally of course. :nono:


You know what else would have really made the movie? In the Wookie battle scene, have a wookie land on the gunship. One of the droids tries to hit him off, but the wookie blocks the attack by grabbing the droid's arm. Wookie chokes droid with other hand. Then the wookie pulls the droid arm out of its sockets and sends the rest of the droid's body into the other droid. Then you plan the explosive and dive into the water.

TOTAL MARK OUT MOMENT if like Chewie had torn a droid's arm out of its socket. :love:

OK...I have seen the movie 5 times now (don't bother pointing out I am a nerd I know) but along with spending 12 and a half of the past 36 hours watching it I have spent the rest of the time talking about it/standing in lines talking about it/sleeping where I was in my dreams talking about it. The point is I am not goign to make this long at all, I just wanted to know what you all thought of this rather LARGE pot hole.

Star Wars Episode III:
Padme dies just moments after giving birth to Luke and Leia...

Now here comes the kicker...

Star Wars Episode VI:
Luke: Leia, do you remember your mother, your real mother?

Leia: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young. (Understatment of the year right there.)

Luke: What do you remember?

Leia: Just images, really. Feelings.

Luke: Tell me.

Leia: She was...very beautiful. Kind...but sad. Why are you asking me this?

THE PROBLEM
How does Leia remember images of Padme, and more then that, how on God's green earth would she be able to tell if her mother was kind having been alive only for about a minute of her mother's life. And why doesn't Luke Remember if it is some sort of "Force Sight". And if Leia had seen pictures (or holograms) of her mother rowing up and knew a bit of her back story, then why would she seem as sad as she does in Return of the Jedi talking about her. The point they made in Jedi was that Leia had never fully understood her mother and her constant depression. Now would it have been so fucking hard to have Padme live through child birth and die off a year or two later after Leia is grown somewhat. NO! It's not hard, but George had to go for that dramatic funeral scene. Hell have Padme and Bail be the first people to start up the Rebellion.

But I won't bitch because Episode III was everything I hoped it would be and George has totally redeemed himself.

Theres way to many holes left open. When I say that I mean there is tons of room for more films to be made if Lucas chooses so. For one, Mace Windu was not shown as actually killed. I mean you assume he's dead , but he's one of the most powerful Jedi there is. Whos to say he could fall and manage to land him self in a flying car like Annakin did in Episode 2. Thats defenitly a hole IMO. Also the fact that Obi Wun got into the tempe and changed the emergency code to say " Dont come to the temple" So that he can save the jedi's lives. Thats a hole. It means there's more Jedi's that can be introduced and have storys about. Theres a span of about 20 years between where EP3 leaves off and where EP4 starts. I'm willing to bet that lucas is gunna make 3 more episodes. Either telling the story of what happend between EP3 and EP4 or telling a whole different story . Maybe using the Luke charachter with a younger actor.

The very ending with the Qui Gon training reference Yoda had to Obi Wun. That was great. Tied in with Obi wun's "Death" in the original Star Wars.

As for your 3 more Episode theory...those holes will be filled in the upcomming Star Wars TV series which Lucas will be writing and directing the first episode, after that is will be several different people.

Wow....I've only seen it twice.....

Ok I have though about this one a lot, dont partically like the idea of this plot hole. But You could see it comming a mile away. I think personally.....this is how im excusing it in my mind anyways. That through the force, through what Bail has told her, through security holograms what ever. She has images of her mum.....The fact she says mostly feelings I think really points that it could be a force thing. And the reason why Luke does not remember is going back to the old Grils are more intuative and focused on feelings than men.

Meh.....just how Im letting is pass.

Something I picked up on the second viewing, Sidious says to Anakin "only one has learnt to avoid death" or somethinglike that. I realised that this is Qui Gon hes talking about.... Or was I dreaming that, is there a sith hes talking about?

keep in mind though its is not going to have anything to do with main characters.

He is talking about Darth Plagueous (Sp correction anyone?). Darth Plagueous The Wise was the only person who could manipulate the force to create life. Now some people have a VERY crazy fucked up theory that since Palpatine killed Darth Plagueous, and becuase he had the knowledge to never die, and since Anakin never had a father. Shmi just became pregnet, that infact Anakin is Darth Plageous's son in a weird sort of cheating death through reincarnation or some shit like that. I don't like the theory, but it's something they are saying. Anyway that was a lot of stuff you didn't ask about, but yeah...the one who can cheat death is Darth Plagueous, the one who discovers the pathway to immortality is Qui Gon.

humm not sure. He said only one. Im seeing it again in a few days. I'll wait for it pay more attention.

Didn't have to work today, so I finally saw it. I'm totally happy with everything. You know it's a good movie when you know that Mace Windu is about to die, yet you still find yourself saying, "No, come on Anakin, don't do it!" The whole scene with Mace vs Palpatine, then the extermination of the Jedi, made me want to come home and watch Episode VI just so I could see some redemption. That was a very intense scene. I did find it odd though that Mace had relatively no problem with Palpatine, yet Yoda never really had the upper hand.

I'm also glad that they didn't hold back in how exactly Anakin became Darth. When he lost his legs and caught on fire, I was like, "Holy shit!"

Good stuff. Lucas has definitely redeemed himself.

Oh yeah, and I really enjoyed the nod to the old school films. In many ways, but specifically, the last shot. The old school uniforms and the way the interior of the ship looked like it was straight out of the 70's film.

As for the Leia's mother controversy, I just assumed she was referring to her adoptive mother.

I think just to hide the fact from everyone, not just Palpatine and Vader, that she actually had the kids. So no one knows aside from those who saw Luke and Leia being born that the Skywalker name lives on.

No...Vader and the Emperor would have known that a baby would have been born....Just not 2
Im sure I've read that somewhere....
And Obi-Wan talking to Luke in OT about how the emperor knew like he did etc.

As for the fatness...She died barly minutes after giving birth. It takes a a while for the stomach to go when alive....So i assume it wouldn't dead.

Wow that was some of the worst dialogue and acting I have ever seen in my life.

Pretty terrible.

Saw it for the 3rd time late last night and it was alot better the 3rd time through. I still stand by my problems with it though.

Now voting the funniest line in a movie not meant to be funny....

Darth Vader: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

The whole damn theater cracked up.

Awesome movie. I saw the original English version, because in the previews for the French version, the voices weren't even going out at the same time the mouths were moving.

http://darthno.ytmnd.com/

HA HA HA HA HA

That was a GREAT movie. And to answer The One's plothole: Maybe Leia is talking about her adoptive mother, since we never know what happens with her anyway. That mother has thousands of reasons to be sad as the Replublic died and times are hard. She doesn't even know that she is Luke's sister by that point, so that could be a reason.

And I have nothing bad to say about the movie. Absolutely loved it.

You're a big nimrod. First you're like "this was the worst Star Wars Movie of all time" and you've seen it 3 times.

YOU ARE ONE PATHETIC LOSER.

Hey IDIOT maybe you didnt read what I said before....

Yes I consider it the worst Star Wars Movie ever....but that doesnt make it a bad movie. I even said that I didnt think it was a really bad movie. Its just the worst of the 6. Its not like I said it was as bad as Dude Wheres My Car or Freddy Got Fingered or any shit like that. All I said was that it was the Worst Star Wars movie. That means out of the 6 I like this one the least. NOT God I hate this movie do damn much.

You know Its F'n Star Wars for crying out loud. If your a big Star Wars fan it wouldnt matter if this movie was just Jar Jar Binks standing in front of a million people reading the constitution the whole time. Youd still go see it more than once.

So before you go off calling me a pathetic loser because I saw it a few more times maybe you should go back and read what I said.

Hell im still gonna see a tons more times.....ITS STAR WARS

I can't believe I've seen this already, considering I waited until the other two piles of shit came out on DVD before I saw them.

Anyway it wasn't as shitty as the last two but it wasn't very good either - it was way too long they could have cut half an hour out of it and I wouldn't have got bored halfway through.

Crappy things about it:
Anakin and Obi Wans "witty" one liners at the start were cringe worthy
It was too long
The Wookies walked like they shit their pants
Jar Jar Binks at the end
It was a bit boring
I was bored
I ran out of coke too soon and was thirsty
The popcorn was too salty
Rather forgettable really

Only thing that could have made this better would be if Anakin offed Jar Jar

My cousin was expecting Jar Jar to die in it. When we went and saw it last night he was pissed because the whole movie he was waiting for Anakin to pop Jar Jars head off and yet there was nothing.

Yeah you're still a homo.

Dam, lots of dedicated fans in here. Haven't seen it yet Wow, loads of fucking geeks in here. Jesus Christ. j/k guys

Hey shut up Loosey...

View of Episode III Counter: 7 times....god I have a problem with Star Wars.

LC, I havent seen it yet either. In fact I just got done today watching the last of the original star wars moies and Harrison Ford is still a shit actor back then, and the movies for their time were good, and if you dont think of it as a movie other then just some kids fantasy, it's alright.

Star Wars, I just dont see the big deal about it really. I'll watch it though, I feel like I have to complete it.

Also, I'm gonna go into the theater and for each compelling moment in the film I'm gonna yell out, MI SAH JAH JAH BINKS!!

I agree the "NOOOO" was terrible, but the whole scene was a nice throwback to the old Frankenstein films, with Vader walking really stiffly and barely being able to move... it was like the creation of Palpatine's monster. :heart:

The perfect begining for this movie would have been Obi Wun and Anakin rescuing Jar Jar. It would be perfect. Hardcore SW fans would be pissed. Then at the moment where they get outnumber by the rolling droids. They will use there sabers to deflect all the bullets. But they will accidently deflect them into Jar Jar. Then like all the droids will stop shooting. Obi Wun and Annakin will stop what there doing and look down at Jar Jar. Shrug there shoulders. Then the movie will start back up where it left off. WOuld have been priceless. The thing is , if they actually did this at the beginning. It would be harmless. People will cheer then get on to the good shit.

Just saw the movie today.

Fucking Awesome.

Saw the movie last night. I thought it was the best of the prequels and got me to pop Episode 4 in this morning thanks to that last scene. It really does hammer the point home that Luke is the last hope for the Jedis.

Ian MacDarmid's portrayal of the Emperor has always been in a ball and he seems to be absolutely reveling in it in this movie. I can totally see why Anakin sided with him. I mean, didn't the Jedi just come off as sanctimonious bastards or what? He foresees his wife's death, and all they tell him is to let go of all emotional attachments. Whatever.

On a related note, I think my girlfriend may be tired of my "Talk Like the Evil Emperor Day" schtick. :)

That would have been awful. Never write a script, or make a movie.

On a semi-related note, I had a coughing spell yesterday, and my sister complimented me on my General Grevious impression.

WOW......what are you like in middle school?

Yeah probably.

You big homo.

:lol:

Aye good film. Liked some of the subtle Death Star hints throughout.

That kid Jedi who killed a few droids before being mowed down when Bail Organa was taking off should have had a bigger part. Jar Jar was in the film too much for my liking. It was good to see Alderan, shame it gets blown up.

I think the funniest thing of all is how Jar Jar was such a big part in the first movie ....then in episode 2 his part is way smaller....and in 3 he doesnt even speak and is only on the screen for like 5 seconds total.

lol never gonna see this shit

Good for you.

Why the fuck would a robot cough?

He had human innards and stuff.

saw it, it was pritty sweet. I was lost though because this was the only SW's movie I have ever seen. :$

Excellent film

10000 times better than Episodes 1 and 2

My only complaint:

WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T ANAKIN SLICE UP JAR JAR?!!!?

Palpatine was the best part of the film IMO. I like how they explained how his face got all messed up.

:lol:

It was pun bro. Chill.

:lol:

http://padme.ytmnd.com/

Possibly my favorite YTMND ever.... HA HA HA HA

Grievious was a warlord alien that was pretty much killed and was turned into an Android to keep him alive, much like Anakin who is also an android. He had a confrontation with Mace Windu that you would see in the later chapters of the Clone Wars micro-series that rendered him pretty fucked up, hence the coughing.

Grievious hates the fact that he is part droid and hates being called a droid cos if anything he is an android.

Just remember, Darth Vader's limbs were all mechanical, not a whole lot of flexibility and Luke couldnt really do much cos Vader was more powerful and Obi Wan was old. But I do know what you mean, thats just my defence interpretation however.

He says "squeeze me" when another senator tells him to move or something. He is the representive senator for Naboo. So he didn't need a bigger part as Naboo was out of the picture.

Hey Mackem you dumbass the biggest Deathstar hint was actually seeing it at the end :lol:

Anyway my thoughts are I thought it was really good, I enjoyed it. Crappy acting, some crappy lines but hey its starwars, you either love it or hate it. I reckon the whole chronicles are awesome and if you read through the Databank on starwars.com you will see how much effort is put into the whole "galaxy".

One bit I thought was cool was seeing Moff Tarkin at the end talking to the Emperor and Vader on the bridge of the Executor. For anyone who knows Farscape... Tarkin was played by the same guy who plays Scorpeus, chosen for his highly visible cheek bones.

The scenes were Anakin was killing the younglings and the scenes before and after that where most of the Jedi were being killed was powerful. As was Anakin's screaming of "I hate you" at the end. Powerful stuff, for me.

I loved it. Seen it 5 times and Im gonna keep soaking it in as long as its at the cinemas cos its the last time it'll be there for a while.

No more starwars, no more matrix, no more lord of the rings... whats left to look forward to in terms of trilogies and such.

I knew I heard something....I just didnt know if that was him or not. I wonder if they just went back and him saying that from one of the other 2 films or if they actually had to pay the guy for that one line.

I would be going for number 3 tomorrow night, but alas, I've fallen behind in my essays.


Ps: Harry Potter :p

Hi Matty :wave:

Yeah, I have an odd feeling, I'll make it up to seeing it half a dozen times in the theatre.

PPS: Chronicles of Narnia ;)

I marked the fuck out during Mace Windu's death. Just cause you knew everything that had built up from Ep. II and prior to that scene culminated to that moment. And finally seeing Anakin turn just showed how exciting something can be even though you know what's gonna happen.

PPPS: Spider-Man and X-Men

Nothing compared to the magnitude of the three I mentioned.

Narnia perhaps but the books are boring as shit.
