Star Wars Episode III official thread

[Mr-K]

When Grievous got in his car thingie my friend turned to me and said "Are you reminded of South Park?" speaking specificially of:


Anyway, I saw it again tonight, I still like it, maybe a bit less than before. But still significantly better than the previous two.

Yeah, but at least the pod racers were kinda cool. Can't say the same about the lizard + rollerball.

no, they sucked, and need to go back to the shitty saturday morning cartoon George got them from.

that race was so fucking worthless. "OMG I wonder whos going to win 11!!!11!!"

It wouldn't have been so bad, had it not had fucking legs. It doesn't make much sense from a design standpoint. While they were at it, they should have put chrome on it, and big red fins.

I didn't check if someone asked this question already, but WHY didn't Obi and Yoda kill their enemies in the final saber battles? Especially Obi Wan.. put his 'brother' out of his excruciating misery, and kill a galaxy-threatening Sith lord. And as dangerous Sidious is known to be, for the good of the galaxy and preserving the Jedi legacy, Yoda should have fought him to the death instead of fleeing with his tail between his legs.

Why are you so jaded? Did your mother drop you as a child?

GG's wheel vehicle really pissed you off that much? It's presence really had a noticable effect on the quality of the movie? It wasn't even like it was a lame vehicle. Everyone has to find something to complain about I guess. I mean, reading this thread is almost painful. If it's not the opening text crawl it's the fact that Padame's hair wasn't perfect, or the computer animation was too good, or not good enough, or the lizard thing wasn't lizardy enough. I realize I'm saying this on TNL, but for once can you people not complain about the stupidest, most insignicant bullshit that, when it comes down to it, could not have possibly affected the movie so much as to warrant the time to type out the post it appears in, much less think it. Sheesh.

The wheel machine was fine. but that lizard was ear-splittingly, eye-watering bad. The first shot of Obi Wan riding it is exaggerated and overplayed for like 5 minutes as it rears up, jerks around (with OW bouncing unrealistically all over the saddle as the CG fuckers try their best to keep him on the saddle) making more fucking noise than everything ever as the camera pans around... I already hate the excessive and shitty CG all over the movie (what happened to good ol' fashioned wire work and shit?), this was just an extra dose of Spiderman building-jumping at my eye.

I'm glad it got all its braying and squawking out of the way early, so it could stfu later on and not give away OW's position.

Also, haha they wiped threepio's memory. OH TEH STORIES ARTOO COULD TELL IF HE COULD TALK!!

I didn't check if someone asked this question already, but WHY didn't Obi and Yoda kill their enemies in the final saber battles?

I think Obi Wan thought that Anakin was as good as dead. Confirm the kill, fool!

And Yoda just couldn't beat the Emperor before his guards and shit showed up. They fought, he messed up, and he knew there was no way he could take on Palpatine + his posse.

How many hands were chopped off in the entirety of the film? I think it was about 7, counting Grievious's.

When the "War!" line appeared most of the theater started laughing and when it reached "Evil is everywhere," we laughed even harder and my friend asked if it was translated from Japanese.

A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away…

War was beginning.

What happen? The Sith Lord, Count Dooku set up The Republic the bomb.

Evil is everywhere.

General Grievious, it's you!!

"All your Chancellor are belong to us."

"You are on the way to destruction."

As the Droid Army flees, the Jedi know what you doing, and take off every zig for great justice.

Dolemite:

But he had no cause to kill the Sandpeoples' kids either. Sure, you can't blame his rage and the Tuskens aren't human, are vicious, ect. But that doesn't mean their mothers and young are instantly evil.

All them bitches and brats are evil!!

Seriously, yeah, it was a bad thing to do, but one could argue that his mom's death drove him temporarily insane.

by the time he is in Palp's quarters with Mace, it's finally time for him to decide if he is going to evolve for the better and adjust his view (which he expresses worry to Padme over earlier in the movie, he has a conflict between helping people and just being selfish and wanting more power), or embrace what he has been wanting for a long time: being able to control people for his own warped emotional comfort. I kind of think of Anakin in Episode 3 as a warped young mafioso in the making. A mob boss may love his own wife and kids but he has no qualms about killing people from a rival family if they are in the way. By the time he is watching Sidious's face melt, Anakin is right on the very edge of seeing the Jedi as a strange, unloving "rival family" (kids and all) to Padme and his future family who will provide him with real affection. He has to decide: do I help Mace and possibly serve for the better? Or by helping Mace am I continuing the Jedi who have a viewpoint of love and family which is nonexistant?

Dude, he goes from wanting to kill Palp for being a Sith Lord and turning him into the Jedi one second to cutting off Mace's hand and slicing and dicing The Junior Jedi Adventure Squad the next. Once again, I agree that the seeds were planted earlier in the series, but not for anything THIS extreme. As someone pointed out in this thread, these actions were one of someone that was inherently evil and vile to begin with, not someone that had problems and simply made the "wrong decision." And that goes against what Lucas was trying to do with Anakin- he wanted to show him as someone who had a dark side, but wasn't a totally evil person, someone that could be redeemed.

The movie was a whole Deja Vu... damn prequels, all of the stuff there is visible from miles away.

Read below
I liked R2 kicked some ass and the thing that Palpatine may have get Ani's mom pregnant is shocking

[Cowutopia]

My biggest problem is the "What have I done," cry, since he obviously doesn't care too much because he follows that up with swearing to the sith and slaughtering children.

I guess you can call it like this: That's when Anakin died, and Darth Vader was born. Like MPDisorder, the good in Anakin no longer has any control, and a dead emotionless person is now slaughtering children.

Or he's so numbed he goes "temporarily insane" again. I mean he chokes his wife.

It's just presented so...awkwardly.

[Dolemite]

It's just presented so...awkwardly.

Yes.

[Cowutopia]

What really gets me are all the people who think this movie is the best of all six..and I mean..it just kills me to see that.

I wouldn't be surprised if those people hadn't seen Star Wars Iv-VI until they were redone by Lucas.
