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.

put bad in front of mother and I think you got it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

and its not really that strange that Obi knew that Sidious is the new "emperor", its obvious that Bail Organa told them about it

[kAi]

Bail Organa was at the meeting late, he didn't have time to tell Obi Wan, he wasn't at the meeting yet.
Unless he found out over comlink.

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.

i saw the movie and now i''m going to play the game but is it good.
because i don't want to download it for 2 day's and then get a shity game.
plz tell me.

check some reviews of it. gamespot is pretty good for reviews

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.

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

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

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

It never entered your mind that Palpatine allowed himself to be beaten?

[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)

[darkshadow]

yeah yoda wouldve owned him if he still had the robe [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img],
and i dont think palpatine intentionally got defeated, sids is not even close to the lvl of close combat mastery as mace, and as you noticed mace not only BLOCKED his ultra powerfull lightning, he reflected it as wel ( btw this part of the post is not for you knives[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]), sids knew already he would win because of anakin, if anakin didnt show up however, mace would've ended the empire right there

edit: knives could you tell me how you did that swampy desert effect in your sig

Ya, and I'm sure he really was weak and in great pain like he said just before he lit windu up and then seemed perfectly fine.

Windu was only "winning" because plapatine allowed it. The whole thing was to play on Anakin's emotions and get him to make a move rather than being uncertain the whole time.

The fight was way too fast for windu to have won too, do you think he could have pulled that off on Yoda? Yoda and palpatine seemed to be on even grounds, no?

[darkshadow]

he was in pain, his lighting showed to be 10x stronger than dooku's, and it shot back in his face, also he used alot of force, because the force shroud FELL, he couldnt maintain it ne more, because of the mass force he released on windu, BUT he dit OVERact about it, he wasnt in great pain, but he was hurting for sure, he was just pulling of an act so anakin would intervene ( spelling? ), mace WOULD eventually have won, he is more than experienced to fend of sids' force attacks, and his close combat is unmatched
