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.

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

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.

Hi Matty

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

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.

I admit the OB1/Darth duel in EP4 is tough to watch now after seeing them go at it in Ep3. But as for the other duels in Empire and Jedi, I prefer them to the ones in the prequel trilogy. The new duels seemed too coreographed and showy. They missed the drama and emotion that the others had. In my opinion anyway.

I thought the film felt a bit rushed, especially with the way Anakin turns to the dark side.

I really liked the film, it had it's flaws but which film doesn't.
I loved his turn to the dark side which starts in episode 1, loved the scenes and yes the dialogue was crappy but this is Star Wars.
I loved how the editing changed towards the end to move it into episode 4, that was smart.
Overall a good film, not amazing but just over 2 hours of fun

Oh and I can't wait to see 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe', I love The Chronicles of Narnia books.

My sister went and saw it a second time this week, and she mentioned that in the scene where Anakin is torn between Mace and Palpatine, there is a shot where he's looking from one to the other that's almost identical to the shot in "Jedi" where Vader is looking between Luke and Palpatine.

Now I need to see it again, 'cause if that's true, that's a very cool touch by Lucas.

Anyone else notice that the first Death Star begins being constructed at the end of Episode 3...approx. 20 years before A New Hope, and the 2nd Darth Star (which is bigger mind you) is near completion after the 3 years in between Empire and Jedi....hmhmhmhmhmhmmmmm

When the built the first one, it was the first time anyone had ever thought to build anything that big. "That's no moon..."

The second time, they'd pretty much perfected the process and could build it much more efficiently.

I guess...

I don't know, Spider-Man is slowly becoming one of the greatest trilogies of all time. All Raimi's gotta do is keep the ball rolling with SM3 and everything will be gravy. I don't care if Joel Shmaucher shows up to direct the SM movies after 3, but as long as Raimi's makes a great trilogy I'll be stoked.


I'm going to see Star Wars again tonight. I saw it on opening night, but I was extremely tired towards the end so I don't think I got the full experience. Plus I was a little bit high. What I saw was an amazing film - great imagery, great fight scenes, and awesome watching Anakin turn to the dark side. Still, it pales in comparison to the greatness that was the original trilogy.

The 2nd Death Star had its weapons operational, but the damn Rebels killed all the construction workers working on it. I mean cmon they should have at least unionized after something like that.

6 years if you assume the Emperor commissioned production after the first Death Star bit it. And it was only, like, two thirds finished.

You also gotta figure the first Death Star had to go through production qualifications and wind tunnel tests. Then there's all the safety inspections and federal regulation tests to pass, which takes 15 years easy on something the size of a small moon. Didn't do crap for all the dangerous gilloutine doors and unguarded floor openings, though. I suspect bribery was involved.

By the time Death Star II was ready, all the certifications has been passed, and the new Death Star was ready to go.

Enjoyed the film throughly!

One question for everyone...

say in a few years or even now, when you have kids and you want to show them the Star Wars saga, would you show them I through VI or episodes IV-VI and then I-III???

I mean, if you watch them in chronological order it completely ruins the plot twist at the end of Empire Strikes Back.

Was it neccessary to name the kids, to show them being taken away?

Obviously you must come at this question as if you havent seen any of the films!

I guess its like this generation watching the new ones and knowing that Palpatine was Sidious and that Anakin would turn!

Subtle touchs were great! The way clones become stormtroopers, ship styles changing, the aforementioned parallell between the stand off between Anakin/Palpatine/Windu and Luke/Vader/Palpatine, amongst many others.

Oh, and films to look forward to...

Batman Begins anyone?

Sin City?

Madagascar!

My daughter is 3 years old, if in 10 years time DVD's still exist I'll show her the first three episodes I have on DVD (I'm talking about the first three made - Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi). I'll ask her to watch and enjoy, and then I'll explain that many years later due to the pull of the almighty dollar three more were made, and not to waste her time because in comparasion they sucked.

I saw the film yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The NOOOO was comical as was some of the dialogue but thats not really what Star Wars is all about now is it? I loved how there were hints of the later films like Palpatines shuttle shape, the storm trooper clones the inklings of Star Destroyers and things like that. Though I do have to agree with something pointed out already that those 3 Jedi accompanying Mace Windu went down hella easy against Palpatine. It was 4 v 1 come on .

I also thought of just a potential conflict in stories. Namely that when Anakin is discovered the Jedi council are initially reluctant to train him as he was too old. Yet in A New Hope Luke is trained no problem by Obi Wann despite him being about twice as old as when Anakin was discovered. I know the Jedi Council no longer existed and all but just seems weird that if training has to start really young that Luke was trained at all.

Its not like they had a choice. THey had to train Luke or else there would have been noone else to train. OB1, Yoda, and then Luke were the last of the Jedi. If they didnt train Luke, the Jedi would have died out. The question you should be asking is, WHy didnt OB1 try to train Luke when he was younger instead of waiting for him to just pop up one day. But some of the novels explain his uncle kept him away...

also, the 3 jedi that palpi kills with mace. They werent Jedi masters, just jedi knights. So palpi could have easily destroyed them considering how powerful he is.
