On this thread we have seen Episode III
- Thread starter Lord Camomile
- Start date
)i finally saw it
i nearly cried
i was really fucked off with annakin, he just looks like he should be in the strokes or something, seeing as he's the most important character in the trilogy, why did lucas get shit actors for all three of the films?? (come to think of it, even the old jedi annakin at the end of ROTJ was shit....)
i didnt like the bits about annakin and natalie portman,
but it was a fucking ace film, that is one of my fave star wars, and the lightsaber battles kick everythings arse

I can't find any, but I distinctly remember seeing a picture when episode I came out, it was one of the shots of the pod race grandstands and if you look closely among the thousands of spectators you can see Indy.
Hmm... maybe i dreamt it
One thing I did find when searching for 'episode I cameos' though was a story about Nsync having an appearance

Indy (lookalike) is definately there. I remember him.

Respect to Eastender- that picture made me laugh like a drain
Oh God, I just saw it... How awful... I can't believe how bad it was...
Any time there was a chink of light it was mercilessly quashed
It's only redeeming features were the melodramtic utter darkness of the ending (and yet that was ruined by a gang of laugh out loud moments) and by the Character of Palpatine - Here it seems as if both McDiarmid's acting and the character were willfully sabotaged mid way through.
There's to much awful stuff to mention but for starters:
What was that Lizard thing and why were he and Obi Wan such good friends?

Assuming you mean Utapu...
It was probably a political thing. That planet was neutral in the Clone Wars, but non-aggressive towards the Republic. He helped Obi-Wan enough to get him on his away, and to rid the planet of the Seperatists and any potential of the war being fought out there. The Seperatists were holding his people prisoner/hostage at that time.Stavrogin said:

I gathered that but I was just astonished that all of a sudden he starts riding a ridiculous looking lizard - he even uses it to seek up on Grevious - who ever snuck up on someone riding a gigantic lizard?
The flim lacked so much logical continuity I was constantly baffled.

It was a domesticated lizard-thing. Bit like a horse, only better stunts!

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Watched Ep 4 yesterday (revisiting them all in light of the new film and also to see how well it connects/contradicts etc), was a little strange in a way now knowing the full backstory after all these years. I must say it's a better film for it though...
This is quite a good point - there were times when they jumped between planets/star systems a bit too much - but with having to fit everything in between EP2 & 4, I think they did pretty well.Stavrogin said:
btw: I thought the killing of the 'main' Jedi characters was excellent.

I'm gonna try and pick up a copy of the novelisation. Some things weren't carried onto the big screen as the Novel depicted them, such as Mace's fear of Palpatine, during their duel.
The three other Jedi that were with Mace got wiped out pretty fast, ie. they hardly moved - did Palpatine have some power over them as soon as they entered his chamber?DarthSydodyas said:
Also, what were the sticks that repelled lightsabers (Grievous had one) made out of? I thought only Mandolorian (sp?) armour could block a lightsaber?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Anyone have any idea whether there'll be a boxset with all six movies anytime soon?
No, but the official EPIII comes out on November 1st: http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/release/video/news20050725.html

No, I think they failed to do that scene justice as Palpatine is supposed to be the most powerful of the lot. Mace was meant to have shown fear, as he fought Palpatine, but this remains hidden in the book.J77 said:
Those were force pikes, iirc.J77 said:

Palpatine lied about Plagueis.
We can't say for sure whether he existed, let alone just how powerful he would have been.
Not sure on how much Lucas cares on continuity with EU, esp where the films are concerned.

Oh, he should... (actually - the Jedi temple on Coruscant looked exactly as I imagined it from EU.)DarthSydodyas said:
What's a 'force pike'? I can't remember coming across one.
Is the lightening stuff on them the same as Palpatine's power?
I was a bit surprised they introduced something which could block a lightsaber, aside from Mandolorian and now in the EU - Yuuzon Vong armour (sp?)
DarthSydodyas

It's probably based on the same technology as the saber (centered around a crystal?). The lightening won't be the same thing as Palaptines. afaik, the saber/pikes/etc are independent from the light/dark side.
The TV series for Star Wars might flesh out the EU, although it will be covering the more incidental characters.

liminally queer
Mid-2006 - finally got round to seeing eps II and III 
And by God weren't they shit
For my money, the biggest difference between the original trilogy and the prequels is that the originals were simple stories told with broad, dramatic strokes while the prequels were made of lots-of-little-bitty-incidents that were supposed to add up to something.
Interspersed with Anakin's and Padme's bloody gurning.
