Yeah, you've never been known for strong, yet ill-informed opinions.

I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan but I've always had one niggle about lightsabers.

If the Jedi were all that, surely they wouldn't need any weapons at all

No?



I sit and wait for the day that Chud bores of haunting my posts.

This movie needs:

I can't be the first person to have said Jar Jar wasn't the wort thing about the prequels.
He made it all worse But hes a scapegoat.

Remove him and then the whole storyline and script are laid bare and bald for the awfulness that they are. So in a way he's a bit of a martyr for these films.

You're right. If gravity bends light, then surely the force can to. They should be able to create their own lightsabers from the light around them and/or deflect laser shots with their mind.

Fuck, we just destroyed Star Wars.

That wouldn't be all that hard, in fairness.

Ugh. So bad.

Blue screens are the death of movies, maybe.

That third one has to have been intentional self-mockery, doesn't it?

Doesn't it???

Pretty sure Lucas was passed out in his chair from a pizza induced coma by the time that scene was shot.

"just wave your hands around a lot BUURRRRRP....we'll fix it later...zzz..."

I do love how thoroughly the non-primaries in the shot are just not going for it, thank you very much. They look like when a teenager has to babysit and play Star Wars with an 8 year old kid, and they feel too self-conscious to do it in anything resembling a non-ironic way.

That second guy on the left... he just gives absolutely no fucks. lol.

haven't followed this thread or any news much lately. what are the chances someone from Lost, Heroes, Fringe etc has a major role?

I thought revenge of the with was good. Hugely flawed but it caught some of the spirit of the original series. And it was easily better than the first two

I wish they would of had even more lightsabers. I don't even want to be able to see the actors.

*would have had

It would have been a lot better if Anakin hadn't been exactly this level of douche all through the previous movie. There was no getting seduced involved...he was just a Darth Vader from the start. All he needed was the mask. Shipoopi.

Also, it would have been nice if Lucas had been capable of nurturing Palpatine's plan without making every single Jedi look like a total retard because they couldn't put one and one together. And if we'd ever seen one genuinely warm moment between Anakin and Obi-Wan. And if anyplace, anywhere ever actually looked physically affected by the war. And if nobody had just "lost the will to live" because lol, especially not at exactly the right moment for it to make it seem like they didn't give a shit about the children they were literally right at that moment bringing into the world, and if

I was gonna give it a pass for charity's sake until that last scene. Then Lucas hits the audience with the ultimate "fuck you".

The direction that Mace Windu is looking, it's like they put Sam Jackson in one place and Jango in another...Sam thought he would be looking at a headless person but instead he's looking off into the distance like, "Did I just do that? huh."
