Any one notice the Wedge Antillies cammio? On Olgana's corvet? And maybe that was just the prototype Death Star? Only 3 ships guarded the Maw research centre, right?
That aside, I thought it could have been better. Lightsabre duels could have been better(aside from yoda vs Palpy), the space battles could have been better, the acting could have been better, and special effects poor at the end I think.
The problem with Star Wars films is that they are so loaded with special effects everywhere that it makes the performances pretty bad.
Let me explain. When you have intricate sets with 100 people working all over and limited time to shoot, all that stress and anxiety will get to the actors. To add on to that there are obviously fewer takes then you would have on a normal movie, resulting in poor performances, and generally poor movie. Less SF wouldn't hurt the story at all in my opinion.
thats why ROTJ >>>>>>All
First, it's Organa. ~;)Quote:

Second, that isn't Wedge, that's Captain Antillies, an unrelated character who Vader choked at the beggining of a New Hope.
"We are a on a diplomatic mission...."
i know sidious is plagus' apprentice. he hints at it not only when they are watching the space opera thingy but also later when anakin confronts him and draws out his lasersword. my beef is that sidious obviously didn't learn all he could from plagus otherwise he would already know the sith secret to prolonging life and wouldn't need to say 'hey vader, become my apprentice and together we can learn how to save your wife.'
so when sidious says, 'plagus' apprentice learned all he possibly could, before he killed him' sidious lies. unless the whole plagus story is just another lie by sidious to get vader behind him.
A lie it could be. But to learn is not the same at being able to. Palpatine coul easily try and fail all the time because he isn't strong enough (if I learned the technique to how to lift 300kg it doesn't mean I would be able to do it physically), Vader on the other hand... Now he would likely be able to do it if he learned how. But after Padmé's death it is rather unimportant for him.
Btw, isn't Captain Antilles a bit old? He wasn't that old in ANH...
Didnt he just say plagus could keep others alive just to lure Anakin in? And i am really surprised that Sidious being a weekling could kill Plagus. Even mace Windu almost nailed him. And he isnt even that great.........Quote:

I stand corected. It is true the way he hid himself among the jedi wilst being undetected. Yoda had to go to Dagobar to live in a cave formely posesed by a dark jedii to hird in the darkness there. Woow never knew that my knowledge of starwars was quite as big in knowing that.
obviously heavy on the preachin' but funny and well executed nevertheless.

Damn that was funny!!! ~D ~D ~D
Those names crack me up!
Well, I finally saw it. Finally poked my head into this thread, too. Spoilerific, indeed. ~D
I am disappointed. People saying its the best of the new ones. Not really. The special effects were nice, and the battle were great, though way too short. Too much bad dialogue and worse acting.
I think I liked II better and I about the same.
Still can't touch the originals.
I just wish there was more stuff with the clone troopers. And "Order 66." I would think at least some of the clones would have been slow to fire on their leaders like that. :help:
Most of my other comments have already been said. Just venting. I need to see the originals again, to "cleanse" myself.
I saw Ep 3 yesterday.
I thought they fitted the previous and later parts of the story together quite nicely. I enjoyed the film.
Saw it yesterday evenening. I thought it was good, but some of the acting was terrible (case and point: Emporer/Chancellor Palpantine). I did enjoy the fight scenes, and I did enjoy the dialog between Palpantine and Skywalker. It's reminecent of the fact that Palpantine is Sidious, and the master who had the power to give life and death was his former master; whom he murdered. Kind of Ironic, because we all know vader kills him...
I thought the Order 66 scenes were well done, and the temple scene was really cool. And the Grivous scenes. And that fight between Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan was astounding.
I actually kind of thought the fight and battle scenes were a little dull compared to previous offerings. Perhaps I've just been de-sensitised but the camera angles seemed to give a poor perspective of what was going on and the battle on Kassyk seemed like a total aside.
Why didn't Obi-Wan make sure he was dead? He could have prevented the rise of the Imperials.
Emotions. The weak jedi was too weak to kill Anankin. Remember...Jedi don't kill their prisoners.Quote:

This gives me an idea for a thread.
Yes, but you'd be evil...I always have this discussion with my friends, and I always end up being the only one who'd be a Jedi. I just don't see very much cool about being evil-it's really easy and boring.Quote:

Jedi is cool and all but Sith can do all of the powers if they want.
I'd be a neuteral jedi, chop up the sith but not be part of the Jedi order. And for sabers...I'd have to say either Orange or Violet!Quote:

And regarding lightsabre colour, I liked Luke's green, but I think aquamarine/turquoise would be a cool colour too.
I'd go with standard blue, really-it's workmanlike. What do you guys like in the way of hilts? My personal favourite is the one Obi-Wan is using in Eps III and IV. I also like Luke's second hilt, although that's a given as it's based on the Obi-Wan design I've just mentioned.
Mace got PWNED by Anakin though, that was funny. Poor Palpantine though, it made him all wrinkly and disgusting.Quote:

You can actually get a silver?! It was alluded to when you explained the colour of your old saber to Atton, but I never actually got one. The most unusual I obtained was viridian.Quote:

*plays through KOTOR 2 again*
Whatya do is side with Geeda on Nar Shadaa, the Rodian Merchant. Then go to dantooine, finish the quest (I did it light side all 4 times I've gone through most of the game), go back to narshadaa, tell her you fixed up dantooine and she can travel there, and you can buy the silver crystal from her.Quote:

Awesome, thanks Capo.Quote:

Not that it matters, he's easier to kill at the end (coincidently my first time through I had a light side character, but a dark side ending. I sided with Vaklu instead of Mrs. Annoyingaccent.)
That wasn't wedge. That was the son of Senator Antilles of Alderaan, no relation to the Antillies of Corellia, where Wedge is from.Quote:
