Star Wars: III - Revenge of the Sith

[r3n]

went to see it last night, after watching all 5 other star wars. id forgotten how shit ep 1&2 are so went into ep 3 not expecting much better but was pleasantly surprised! some of the scripting and acting was a bit wooden but the fights and CG were superb. especially loved how the tracking shot of ani's and obi-wan's ships at the beginning showed you the whole battle scene in the background. that was great eye candy. and did anyone notice the millenium falcon at the beginning on the dock? thought that was very cheeky of lucas. i was so relieved that haden's acting had improved, it was so shit in ep 2 that it ruined the movie for me. sideous was superb, and his transition from chancellor to sith lord on the screen was amazing. i loved how he begged for mercy, really showing you his true colours. i was annoyed that you heard that padme had her babies successfully and you saw where they went and their names. cos if people watch all 6 in order without having seen any before the shock that luke is lea's brother, and vader their father is completely lost.

overally very enjoyable and will probably go and see it again.

If you watched them in order you'd know straight away.

You'd know that Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) is Luke Skywalker's Father. Well I'd think it would be, as he would be the only possible person to be called Skywalker.

Your kidding me! I heard that George Lucas said he didn't want anything to do with Star Wars once he completes episode III. Though it was kind of weird when I heard it. I didn't think he would stop his money making empire anyway. [img][/img]

there is gonna be a tv series, starring aayla secura ( the blue twi'lek female jedi), yes she survived somehow( maybe the clones just stunned her.....for other purposes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img])

I wasn't really suprised that there making a Star Wars TV. I mean, heck yeah, he can continue to make new games and what not for all time.
I am suprised, that George Lucas is gonna be so involved for the first season(edit: that's what I heard anyways). Since, like you said, he wasn't gonna do Star Wars anymore.

yeah i suppose you're right on second thoughts. the revelation that vadar is luke's dad and lea his sister was one of the best twists ive ever seen in movies. on rewatching the old films i see that lucas didnt actually direct 5&6, which were, in my opinion, the best of the lot. it's a shame he directed he directed 1&2 as they turned out pretty crap, but 3 was acceptable. they should have gotten Irvin Kershner to direct 1&2 (and probably 3 too) as strike back was the best by far [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Yeah, it's hard for me to choose which movie is my favourite, I've always had trouble choosing between Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, coz they're both good, and have different things going for them.

A TV show on this would be awesome, and if the TV series goes pretty big, I would like more done for after ROTJ, with Luke, Han, Leia, and their stories afterwards, because there is some good stories, where Luke starts up a Jedi Training place, and then you got Mara Jade, and lots of other stories, if they don't do it Live Action, I would like to see this animated, it would be good I think.

[Knives122]

well your in luck Kai, it just so happens that they are doing two tv shows:

one will take place during the clone wars and will be in CG, while the other will be live action and will take place during the time between ROTS and ANH

Another part I didn't like was the fact that Obi Wan called Palpatine an 'Emporer' when he was at the Jedi Temple with Yoda, when he wasn't there for the Senate meeting. As up to that point he has always been 'Chancellor' to him, and suddenly he knows him as an 'Emporer'.

Yeah I noticed that too. It was while Obi-Wan and Yoda were at the temple that Palpatine was announcing the creation of the Empire, so there's no way Obi-Wan could have known or been told.

And Knives122, I heard it was Lucas' nephew, not his son.

R2-D2 owns in this movie. its a good movie

[Knives122]

@ CmDr_RavEn: at the place I go to(theforce.net) everyone says it was his son, but it doesnt matter; son or nephew that was one of the coolest parts in the movie

I finally saw Revenge of the Sith tonight, and I've got to admit I enjoyed it. Although I have to agree with everyone who said the first part was rushed. I would start getting into a scene and bam they would cut to something else again. No one part was really long enough to stand out, felt edited to pieces. The ending battles were really the saving grave of this movie. Very nicely done and they were given the time they deserved.

I actually thought Christensen and Portman did alright in their roles. McGregor I was more disappointed in. You'd think that after his best friend betrayed him and all that the Jedi stood for Obi-wan be a LITTLE more upset. I mean, Yoda had better acting. But overall a movie worth seeing.

[Yondaime-]

ahh sounds really good.. cant wait to see it =)

[Terracosmo]

Catching it tomorrow night. I'm really looking forward to it. Just like many of you guys, I was vastly disappointed with ep2 (though I actually liked ep1 quite a bit). Ep2's sub-par acting and horrible dialogue really put me off beyond words, but ep3 has me very excited since I hear all these good words about it. I will probably pick up the original trilogy DVD-boxset before the movie too. Just one of those things every man should have in his shelf (next to the LOTR trilogy!)

Star Wars <3

@Terra: Don't forget the God father trilogy
I saw this on saturday and some of it was cheesy, and some of it was amazing. I really liked the fight between obi wan and anikan, very dark but very good.

[r3n]

i wasnt really a fan of that fight between obi wan and anakin cos they kept stumbling and hesitating on the thin rod. seeing as theyre both amazing jedi id expect them to be doing back flips and some good acrobatics, not losing their balance. the scenery was pretty cool though

[Roko]

anybody else think it was a bit weird that Windu could beat Palpatine but Yoda couldn't? I know that they are both masters, but then Yoda seems to be the strongest of all the jedi

[darkshadow]

yoda is force user elite
mace windu is close combat teras kasi elite, palpatine is also a force user elite, and up close force user will get beaten by close combateers ( kinda like taijutsu vs. sharingan )
but still yes yoda should have won, i mean he deflected the double lightning, but he fell way down, and dont forget hes 800+ years old, and walks around with a cane, he uses the force to move around like that when he's fighting, if it was just force on force, or an even room ( like the first room they were in ), yoda would've won

[Knives122]

well I remember reading(I think in the book) that during that fight with sids, they were completely equal, and if yoda wanted to kill sidious then he would have to die as well(which he was prepared to do); but like you said that fall messed him up(plus he lost his robe, and we all know yoda can't fight with out his robe [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] ).

plus yoda was on the clock if you didnt notice and since "big blue guy with horns who ran out the room when the fight started" ran out of the room to go get security, he really didnt have that much time to try and kill sids(it would've taken longer)
