Star Wars Episode III official thread

Its just so clumsy. And ugly.

It is a good "stand alone" movie I suppose. It just doesn't work with the rest of them.

Over a 7 day period I watched all of these movies. The old trilogy has just as many cringe inducing moments as the new one. Well... maybe not quite as many.

I never thought of Vader as a tragic character before. I don't know if thats good or bad. I totally got something different out of the old trilogy this time around.

Yeah I agree. Watching the old movies after seeing Episodes I-III makes everything a fresh experience simply because you've seen the whole picture now. I always had a slight problem with how Vader changed from ANH to ESB/ROTJ, but now we can really see why.

I really love the series. Fantastic.

Your points about the old movies being just as cheesy are spot on too...dunno why everyone can't see this.

Yea, Lucas actually said that Ep. IV was originally made to be a standalone movie anyway.

But I do agree in full. It does seem that A New Hope just wasn't up to par now that I watch it. If there was some scene with the Emporer and more history in it as far as tying Ep I-III into it then it would be somewhat better.

HE SHOULD TOTALLY REMAKE IT!

[Revoltor]

Nah, he should like, add new robots and shit to the background.

That would be kewl.

[Fe 26]

It IS the same guy. Holy fuck. And Episode 4 never worked, it just had some really cool scenes at the beginning and end.

yeah, the middle is kind of weird. Luke jumps into the entire saving the known worlds job, a little fast.

I'd like to see the Thrawn trilogy filmed. The original cast is too fucking old to do it now.

I'd love to see Luke Skywalker recast... the internet would fucking freak out.

[Mzo]

Thrawn is the hottest shit around son, believe that.

Tie Fighter is 100x better because he's in it.

[Grey's Anatomy]

I'd love to see Noghri fight scenes.
I wonder who would play Thrawn, though.

So Maddox has offered his take on Episode 3 and is pretty much spot on when it comes to Anakin's turn, sensative robots and the jedi's situational force sensing. His complaint about "special effects" seems kinda stupid though.

Wow 7 years running and Maddox finally writes an above average article.
