[A Link to the Past]

THERE WILL BE MAJOR SPOILERS IN HERE, I BET. GO AWAY IF YOU DON'T LIKE 'UM.

I have two:

R2D2's abilities

Not enough Chewbacca

[Lord Melkor]

Does it mean you liked this film?

[A Link to the Past]

Of course. It is leaps and bounds ahead of the first two.

I didn't really HATE anything about the movie. Hell, Hayden's acting was much better this time around. I feel that it is on par with the OT. And in fact, the only SW movie where I felt bad for any character.

[HeckHouse]

The sound effects for the battle droids was different. Bugged me.

"You are so beautiful."-Anakin "It's because I'm so in love with you."-Padme. Bleh!

Anakin was almost too likable, they didn't give enough reasons for his fall.

[Lord Melkor]

Well, it is good that Anakin was likeable! Finally, he had some charisma and style!

But he was power hungry and sellfish from the beginning, I am not sure that he really loved Padme or just wanted to own her!

[A Link to the Past]

I like that he was so easily brought to the Dark Side to save one person, rather than a bunch of conflicting emotions that equal her life. Plus, I love the way Palpatine fools him into believing that joining the Dark Side would save her, when it ended up killing her.

[Lord Melkor]

And finally Yoda had a scene when he spoke with true wisdom, like in ESB!

This speech to Anakin about letting things go was quite interesting!

[A Link to the Past]

And Yoda actually had a GOOD fight this time.

[Malky]

did he?

he fell and then ran?

Fight to the end, I surely would?

[A Link to the Past]

What? Yoda had a light saber battle with Palpatine, didn't he? So what if he ran away? The one in AotC was laughable, literally - it was just funny.

[SPQR]

Something was wrong with the lead in font. The lead in was blah, bland, and completely void of any pending mystery.

The opening battle scene was an orgy of computer-animated confusion. Why are Lucas and his harem of eunuch nerdanimators hell bent on making the prequels full of technology, design, and effect that only serve to make the originals look like they were made three hundred rather than 30 years ago? it's intergalactic devolution (Nerd excuse- the originals represent a dark age, which is apologist BS).

What the hell are vulture droids?
Then there are heat seeking missiles, and parasitic space droids, and the fighters have chaff, R2 still has the jets and also communicates by cell phone, the jedis' police style utility belt includes grappling guns and O2 regulators, General Grievous, a friggin' robot, has emphysema, (Nerdanimators: well we had 2 sabers, and a dual blade saber, let's give Grievous 4, and he still sucks!)... GRIEVOUS HAS TRIUMPH THE INSULT COMIC DOG"S VOICE AND I CAN PROVE IT- "jedi, i will add your light saber to my collection, for me to poop on!"

All the droids apparently have voice patterns based on a castrati, domesticated ton-ton-esque iguanas that crawl at warp speeds and don't need to bask on a hot rock, the clone army are constantly without helmets, Palpatine gets a bad case of chronic aging from his use of the force, the whole wookie scene is lifted from a game and apparently Chewie and Yoda shared some intimate time together by a lonely frontline camp fire on Kashyyyk, Palpatine can't fight off a lame Windu but battles ninja master Yoda into becoming a cowardly bitch (Nerd excuse-he planned it so that anakin would slay windu and fall to the dark side-nope!), Paplatine's horrible make-up and awful, awful, facial contortions ala Marcel marceu, Dookoo does a brilliantly executed double back gainer from the high platform and then gets his head handed to him 10 seconds later...

Darth Vader appears like an even worse Robert DeNero Frankenstein tearing from his shackles and screaming a deep glottal NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! with a pan out reminiscent of the Stellllaaaaaaaaaaa! scene from A Streetcar, palpatine calls yoda his little green friend, R2 apparently did stand up comedy after his brief stint with the mossad as he appears to be both a humorous extrovert, and an expert in small arms and hand-to-hand combat, 3PO gets his mind wiped but Darth and Obi don't-must have onset Alzheimer’s, grand moff still has chiseled cheekbones and likes to rock the retro uniforms while cruising in his pimped out classic star destroyer, jar jar is still there as a blatant middle finger from Lucas but at least he's silent, Anakin should have been on lithium, or at least zanax, to avoid this whole thing from even starting as he's not seduced but bi-polar with psychotic tendencies, jedis can feel the force, see in the future and reach eternal life but can't overhear clones planning a mutiny...

[Malky]

I just think why did Yoda leave?

He lost part of a battle! Get back in their Yoda!

I know those more understanding will say that Yoda saw the future and knew his time was to come. But really he wasn’t that far away from the required standard was he?

[A Link to the Past]

#1. He's no good dead. If Palpatine dies, Vader does not.

#2. I think Grevious is a cyborg. He has a heart it seems.

[barend]

the reasons behind greviouses health are outlined in the final episode of a cartoon series....

which is just unfair to the average viewer...

[A Link to the Past]

I never saw the cartoon. Fill moi in?
