There is no way to say one way or the other for sure but in my opinion, GL wanted us to see that it was an act and Palpatine was not ingured at all. I thought the steam comming off of him from the lightning instantly going away when palpatine wanted to get up and attack showed this along with how quickly he recovered.

"Padme......i saw him.......he killed youngins........."
noooo......not the youngins!!!

am i the only one annoyed at all the cameos that keep showing up in these first 3 movies?
im not talking about actor cameos, im talking about characters that we've known from eps 4-6, such as chewbacca. Ok seriously, why did george feel the need to put chewbacca in there? On a planet full of wookies, one of the two that saw yoda off happened to be the same wookie that we later see as part of a rogue team with han solo. I was under the impression that chewy was more of a "my home is the endless reaches of space" kinda guy anyway, he shouldn't have been involved in some big battle on his hometown.

I might as well go even further and question the whole motivation behind boba fett's part in the 2nd movie while im at it. When we see boba fett in the original 3 movies, did we think that he had a connection to the clone army? No. Do you suppose even GL intended that? Probably not. As far as I'm aware, boba fett was introduced into the series as generic bounty hunter X that served as a plot device to deliver han to the hut. I would even go so far as to say the whole ordeal with jango and boba was ONLY put into episode 2 as fanservice.....

Eh, maybe its no big deal.....but it kinda ruins the whole "the universe is a big place" kinda feel, if you ask me

Another thing that bugs me.....didnt the obi-wan vs vader fight seem alot more emotional than the rematch that took place in episode 4? Not saying that it shouldve been less emotional, but their second fight just pales in comparison, if you think about it

Not to mention the fact that we now know that the stonecold badass Boba Fett once was a whiney (and fugly) kid.

We didn't fucking need that.

(even though Boba owns)

But the second fight was what? around 15, 20 years afterwards? Obi-wan's already an old man by then, and Anakin has had time to improve on his skills, especially since he is still young. Obi-wan's objective was to save Luke, no matter the cost, even if it meant his life. I guess you can say he developed the same bond he had with Anakin before he became Vader, with Luke. That's also a lot of time to think, and there was that little idea of Obi-wan talking to Qui-gon's spirit that was thrown in. Some advice to move on, I suppose?

But still, I understand what you're saying. The second fight just seemed to be like "well, we meet again after so long. You've grown a lot, but it's time to say byebye" while the fight in episode 3 was more like "DAMN! Why'd you turn to the dark side?!"

@Assertn: well the real reason why the wookie fight was even in this movie was b/c GL wanted to have them in there in ROTJ but he didnt have enough money so he went with the ewoks *shudders*. but they did have a point; after the empire kicked off, they forced the wookies into building it, and Han got Chewy out, and at that point Chewbacca did that whole "life debt" thing and started hanging out with Han(he was going to be in this movie too, but they decided not to put him in there). But hey, let the crazy ass old man do what he wants, they are his movies after all

yes I am saying Ewoks suck, they are the rats of the SW universe

I'm pretty sure that if Anakin hadn't showed up when he did, Palpatine would have died right there. It was good, because it shows that while Palpatine is very powerful, he's not invincible. I'd say the whole "I'm so weak, save me Anakin!" thing was an act, because he knew he'd save him. But everything before Anakin showed up was real.

When it comes to 1v1 lightsaber combat, Palpatine couldn't match Windu, because he's more of a force master while Windu's a swordsman. His saber flew out the window, you think he did that on purpose?

[Mut]

OF COURSE the black man is killed.

[Lefty]

Of course, and screaming like a girl as well. Lucas could have had him go out like the man he was but no.

[r3n]

windu wasnt even meant to have a proper fight with sidious, it was only put in cos samuel L jackson said he wanted a fight of his own. it's not in the original script

[Roko]

hey, but ewoks turned the tide in the war. Without them, the shield generators would nvr have gone down. They were and are underestimated

[kAi]

ewoks are cool, anyone seen caravan of courage: an ewok adventure, I still got that on tape since like 15 years ago

[Terracosmo]

Okay I saw the movie and damn was it good.
Shortly I'm gonna rewatch the original trilogy as well. I just remembered how much I love this shit.

Anyway about ep 3, as everyone have said there were some cheesy moments but overall they didn't matter. I'm just glad GL didn't mess up Obi-Wan's final words to Anakin.

So yeah, great stuff. Nice to see it all wrapped up.

@kAi: Is that the animated one you're talking about? If so, I saw it, have a lot of memories from seeing it as a kid.

[KitKat]

I totally loved this movie. One of my friends maintains that Padme and Anakin should not be allowed to speak to each other ("You're so beautiful." "I'm only beautiful because I'm so in love." .....give me a break) but that doesn't even come close to ruining the awesomeness of the movie as a whole. I think they did a good job of capturing the feel and the atmosphere of the original trilogy.

And Ewoks are so cool. I used to watch the cartoon, and I think I watched the movie(s?) as well. I can't quite remember because it was so long ago, but I think there was more than one movie made....all I can remember is some family fighting alongside the Ewoks.

[Souryusen]

There were 2 Ewok movies. The first one was to save the Towani kids' (Cindel and Mace?) parents from some giant pig-monster thing. The second was the ewoks, Cindel and some old man fighting space pirates or some shit. Most notable thing about the 2nd movie was that Cindel's family got rubbed out and she finally gets off the forest moon.



Cindel's one goofy lookin' kid.

Also, Warwick Davis is pimp.

[Raven]

Warwick Davis FTW! That guy can do no wrong.

Since the series is now wrapped up, let's all write in what order they come quality-wise. This is mine:

V > VI > IV > III > I > II

Empire Strikes Back was just awesome all the way through, as was Return of the Jedi, but the prior had the most awesome ending out of all Star Wars movies (you all know what I mean...), also, Han Solo's clothes were great in V (he's my favorite SW character). IV is tightly behind but I see it mostly as a set-up for V & VI. III was without a shadow of doubt the best prequel part. The Phantom Menace & Attack of the Clones were both below-par, but 'Clones was by far the worst... awkward dialogue, stupid plot (which moved way too fast) and the Boba Fett butchering. At least 'Menace was fun (I kinda enjoyed Jar Jar... occasionally) and I really liked Qui-Gon. He was a very badass jedi (I liked how he didn't follow the regulations as "tight" as he was supposed to). Darth Maul was pretty memorable too despite his short amount of appearances. Double-bladed lightsaber = teh win.

[XwingRob]

Hmm... for me I think it is

VI > V > III > IV > II > I

I felt III was better than IV just because of the pure emotion in III.
I thought all of them were good movies though. But GL should have had help and someone to constructively criticize him, especially when it comes to dialogue between Padme and Anakin.

[DB_Hunter]

OK just got back from watching the movie... I think it was OK. I had heard people say it is an awesome movie but maybe I have tougher standards than most people...

The most cheesiest thing was Darth Vader screaming NOooooooooooooo at he end... VADER DOES NOT SCREAM "NOOOOOOOOO" OVER A GIRL, EVEN IF HE LOVES HER. THATS NOT THE VADER IN THE NEXT TRILOGY.

As for my view on the Mace vs Palpatine fight, I think that Mace would have ended up killing him if Anakin had not intervened.

The dialogue in this movie was still not to the level of the original trilogy.

It kinda seems weird to me that it takes about 20-25 years to make the first Death Star and only like 10 years to make 3/4 of another one after the first one is destroyed.

Anakin was shown to be too emotional in this one again. Vader is much more of a thinking poltictican in terms of strategy in the original trilogy, here he is shown to be too naive in following the emperor.

More to follow later from me I guess....
