Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith

[PlayNiceOrDie]

Don't forget when Padme ran off the shuttle at mustafar to meet Annie....not waddled like a preggo chick would, but ran. She moved well for haulin twins.

[Rama Sha]

Wait when did they mention quinlan vos?

It might have been Yoda who said Master Vos was on some planet. Kashyyk maybe.

Obi-Wan mentioned him to Anakin when he was talking about how the seiges in the outer rim where going. It happens right after Anakin talks to Yoda about his dreams.

[Pit Viper]

OK here are my responses to many of the statements being made here:

 

*EMPEROR PLAPATINE RULED! For shame to anyone claiming he was "cheesy". A pox on you! He was the best part of the film! I loved it!

 

*Boba Fett had no real buinsess being in this film and that is why he was left out. He still would have been a kid. Someone said that they built up his character for nothing? STOP looking at Revenge of the Sith as the last Star Wars film! There are 3 more movies! Boba gets his screen time in the Original Trilogy and Fett fans should be happy that he was even in the Prequel Trilogy at all.

 

*Stupid Battle Droids? Did you watch Return of the Jedi expecting there to be no Stormtroopers? Of course there were going to be Battle Droids! in Episode III! I personally like them.

 

*While we did not see the classic Stormtroopers in this film the Clonetroopers DID have a totally new look. I don't see the problem. If they can change from AOTC to ROTS they can change from ROTS to ANH.

 

*I think the whole Palpatine (or Plageuis?) creating Anakin was sort of left up in the air for the fans to decide. One could just as easily say that Palpatine lied and said that to make Anakin think he was meant to be a Sith.

 

*The "Frankenstein walk" was not nearly as bad as everyone is trying to make it out to be. Nor were Vader's lines and scream. I was however hoping to see a little more destruction from Vader.

 

*The prequel trilogy has had alien subtitles in all three films if I am not mistaken. This is a non-complaint.

 

*The Jedi characters who died "too easily" were not ever even named on screen. They were minor characters IMO. Four or 5 minute death scenes is unrealistic. I think the only reason the Wookie battle was really shown as much as it was is because Yoda was there and he is a major character (unlike the others).

 

This film was great. I don't recall any "cringe worthy" scenes or one liners. The acting was fine. The biggest laugh at the theater I attended was when Yoda took out those Royal Guards. Nobody fell asleep (anyone who falls asleep during a Star Wars film should be excommunicated from the fandom). People were cheering and applauding.

[Pit Viper]

One more thing . . . was any one else disturbed at the fact that R2-D2 was acompanying Anakin as he is slaughtering people? R2 is like the purest Star Wars character in the saga and to see him just following orders from "DARTH VADER" was disturbing to me.

[revsears]

i have been called a basher of the prequals.

 

I hated 1. It was a bad movie, the lightsaber fight scenes were great, but jar jar wasn't funny, the Pod race seem childish, Jar jar's life pledge had been done before, Obi-one seemed very generic

 

Attack of the clones contined my dissapointment. Bad name and once again poor pacing. The first movie had nothing of real importantce in it and this... oh man! Bobba fett should not have been touched! Kenobi was still so bland. Death sticks? really death sticks? the end featured important events, but was too rushed, and so much time had been wasted.

 

Now for III....

I really think the movie could have been imporved if the pacing in 1 and 2 were altered, Chewie was unneccesary, if yoda had added, the word young before chewie's name that would have made it more tolerable. Two much time was wasted on stuff we knew at the end. It would have been nice to not see the twins named. what was he getting his revenge for? and alot of the fighitng was too weak. Somethings were only half answered But in all and all I LOVED IT!

 

It felt like part of the old trilogy finaly. I don't veiw those thru rose colored glasses either, they had their flaws but were better written and paced.

 

The main reason i liked it was one of the morals of the story. Why did Anakin turn? why did it all happen? Pride of the good guys! Palpintine was right, Mace really would have overthrown him. They pride also clouded their judgement, allowing them to walk into the various traps, i also took it that it weakened them in many ways. If mace had wanted to arrest him what would have happened? or if Obi-wan hadn't been trusted so quickly to train the 'chosen one' ?

 

anyways... i dug it.

them Naboo women, they special. in all seriousness she was somewhat of an Alien, although VERY humaniod. Speciation does occur

Did he actually go inside the temple? I thought he stayed outside.

[Dark_Phoenix]

Who is Vos?

 

I was hoping to get more of an explanation as to who ordered the clone army.

 

Was it just me or was there that one seen with the troopers where some did not look like Jango?

 

I really enjoyed it.

Quinlon Vos. He is in the comic book alot. Aayla was his Pdawan.

[JayC]

I dont believe R2 was with him at the Temple nor did Artoo know what was going on. Artoo was Anakins droid and programed to follow him. But when he was getting ready to leave Corsucant R2 was questioning what was going on and thats when 3PO said well he's been under alot of stress. Then on Mustaf Anakin told R2 to stay behind so that he didnt see what he was about to do. Again there you could see R2's concern as to what was happening in his tones.

Why should anyone expect to see a OT Stormtrooper?

Does anyone realize how many years are between ROTS and ANH?

19/20 years, which would be ample time for Clonetroopers to evolve

to Stormtroopers.

 

And anyone complaining about the Frankenstein walk, should consider the fact that he just got both legs cut clean off, and are now replaced with robotic limbs, how do you expect him to walk?

 

But people are just going to complain and compare, nothing new.

[Don of the Dead]

I don't know who is more whiny...Anakin or the fanboys bitching on this thread.  Get over it.  The movie had plenty of holes...ALL movies do.  It's easy to feel cheated when you have had 20-30 years to memorize the original movies and then pick out tiny little holes in the plot of this one.  Who cares?  There were flaws but overall this was a very good movie and it tied up the entrie Saga...as it's supposed to.  How could Lucas possibly completely satisfy millions of whiny fans in a 2.5 hour movie?  Gimme a break.

hey buddy Empire is ten times better story wise then any of the prequals

I enjoyed AOTC more than ESB and you're talking to someone who grew up with the originals.

And besides, I think the Empire eventually goes to a draft or recreuting people as Stormtroopers.

 

You have to think Clones age twice as fast, so a 20 year old clone would be forty, a 30 year old clone would be 60 etc.

Yeah maybe you enjoyed it more, does that make it a better movie? Heck no. Lets get some film scholars up in here!

 

 

And pit viper, regarding the jedi, was clone wars not to be considered part of the star wars continuity? In that they were named and given personalities and such, that it would have been a nice touch to at least delve into them a bit more. There was no need to reintroduce them with their personalities again, just put a little more heart into their death scenes.

[GTA Sith]

Man I just finish see EPIII and it was pretty good. The fight scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan was great, But there were som funny parts in it. At the theater I went to there was this mom cover her son eyes when Anakin chop Count Dooku head off, and then Anakin was getting his Vader armor.

[firefly2121]

Ok..lets say she waddled..then what?...People here would complain that why she waddled...She was to slow...She was not waddling properly...To many complaints...

I really liked the movie. Ranks up their with all of them.

The only thing that bugged me is just a nit pick really. I just cant get over how Leia told Luke she remembered her mother in ROTJ, when clearly she died at birth. No big really as it can be explained she remembers Bails wife and not her true mother. But still I would have liked that to be addressed.

Well Luke specifically said, "Your real mother." But Leia could have thought Bail's wife was her real mother at that point . . . Did Leia know she was adopted? I think she did or else Luke wouldn't have just said, "your real mother". I explain this away with the magical wild card that is the FORCE.

I forgot about the Clone Wars cartoons. I'll admit that they would have been a little nicer if they were a little longer but we are talking about 4, 5, 6 Jedi here. The film was crammed full of content as it was.

[FUGAYZIE]

I must happily say that I was impressed with the film. Even my wife who is not a big science fiction type of person really enjoyd it. I think its one of the third best of all the SW films.

 

1. new hope

2. return of the jedi

3. rots

4. emp sb

5. ep 1

6. clone wars

[Agent Adam]

I enjoyed the hell out of it. This film upsetting people makes me lol.

 

 

Anyway, my order of favorite Star Wars movies:

 

A New Hope

The Empire Strikes Back

Revenge of the Sith

Attack of the Clones

Return of the Jedi

The Phantom Menace

[AlexisLasek]

I just saw the movie and have to say I loved it and in my opinion it's the best of this trilogy. A- in my book.

My gripes:

1)The wookies. This just seemed like a waste of tiome to me because it was way to short and made no sense.

 

2)I wasn't able to talk for awhile because I was so shocked and upset by the kids dieing(hinted at but still freaks me out) I knew they all were gonna die but was still NOT prepared for it.

[DarthJoe]

[quote (almost right up there with Vader, as Vader lost points with me after his Tantrum at the end of RotS.)

 

That whole scene would make sense for Anakins character.

One thing people tend to forget is that 1. Anakin just became an armored Vader, therefore he is not going to show signs of the Vader from the OT plain and simple. The one thing he tried so hard to prevent ended up happening anyway.

 

Many years lapse between ROTS and ANH and with the character aging I'm sure his attitude changes as well, but don't expect a large transition from a twenty something year old Vader of the PT to a mild aged one of the OT to all of a sudden occur just because he puts on a black mask that instant.

I know what you're saying, and I understand that this is what Lucas was trying to show, but was it really necessary? When I see that black suit, I associate it with force chokings and intimidation...not whining and sniveling. It just didn't feel right, and like I said, it ruined the image of Vader for me.

 

The movie would've been better, IMO, if Lucas had just omitted this scene and left it to the audience to come to the conclusion that Anakin had realized he lost everything, or possibly just had Vader ask Palpatine about the fate of Padme, followed by clenched fists and everthing in the room imploding. That would have left more of an impact, from my perspective anyways.

[Lord Amron]

I just got back, good movie. I guess we should infer that Palpatine was the Aprentice of that one all powerfull Sith that he told the story to Anakin about. I guess we should also infer that Palpatine manipulated midiclorines to create anakin.

 

Ok now for a couple things I didnt get.

 

Why did Yoda quit the fight with Palpatine????

 

Why the need to go into seclution period. I would think now would be the time the remaining Jedi would need to stand up and fight.

 

Yoda at the end stated Obi Wan would need to learn how to communicate with Qui-Gon in the after life. Yet Luke was able to communicate with Obi-Wan without any special training?? This didnt make much sence.

Yoda quit because he realized how pointless the fight was.....even if he won and killed Palpatine he would be playing into his hands and "proving" that Jedi were really trying to take over the government. Palpatine had the devotion of the people and his death would have really started a Jedi witch hunt.

 

See above...there was no point in fighting as the Jedi had been smeared. It would also be suicide to go against the Empire with it's vast resources of ships, willing commanders, and clones who due to having fought with the Jedi know the best ways to smoke them out. In seclusion they could still help the masses and if need be help in any coming revolution (see Leia's plea in ANH). In the end it all come down to Anakin...he's the ONLY one would could stop the Sith. Yoda came to that conclusion and threw the fight.

 

You have it backwards...Yoda and Obi-wan were learning to keep their spirits intact after joining the Force to influence/guide the living. If you remember Obi-wan's line in ANH he told Vader that striking him down would make him more powerful. It did...it allowed him to be with Luke always (how stupid would it look for Ben to go everywhere Luke did...like riding Tauntauns together on Hoth) and get him where he needed to be to redeem his father. It also forced Luke to become more self relaint on sure. If Obi-wan lived he would have handicapped Luke's growth in the Force. I also think it protected him from getting slugged when he admitted he left a few detail out about Vader.

[Lord Amron]

Did they mention Quin Lon Vos in the movie at all?
