I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
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.
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.
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....
Well...anything about Vaders personality changing 20 years from now can be attributed to age, and because of his training of the Dark Side or what not. And the Death Star...it probably didn't take as long the second time because they already know how to make it without any setbacks or delays this time around.
I dont think thats the case... u dont start building a massive space station like the death star without having blueprints or how to make the thing charted out... even if u dont make the same mistakes as u did before there is no way that you would be stupid enough to make 18 years worth of mistakes first time around.
well the emperor did already forsee anakin and stuff, what if he for saw that the deathstar could be destroyed, and started building the second 1 along with the first 1, but with lower priorities..........
that would kinda make sence?
The Death Star is HUGE. If they mess up somewhere and something falls apart or breaks down, it could set them back a few years maybe. Also, they could have built it 3/4 of the way, and figured out that there was a flaw and it couldn't work, so they had to start over...etc. Lots of things like that could happen, there could have been many changes to the design while they were building it. That's the most likely reason the second one didn't take so long, not many setbacks, and they already had already seen a working one, so they knew exactly how to make one. If you have a better reason that the first one took so long...I'm all ears.Originally posted by: DB_Hunter

Not that SW books factor much into the movies but in the Jedi Academy trilogy by Kevin Anderson it was revealed that there was a prototype, skeletal Death Star that was constructed many years before the one that was destroyed in ANH.
One of the weirdest thing in the movie to me was the R2-D2 screams early on in the movie.

That is NOT how engineering projects work... if you get 3/4 of a design or something and discover such a major flaw then really... well that doesnt even happen. Either the thing gets built fully and it fails cos aof a mistake no one knew about when its actually being used or you dont make mistakes like ur suggesting. Size is an important factor, but the size of the Death Star wouldn't mean that the difficulty associated in building it is proportional to its size.Originally posted by: Sam98034

i seen it on saturday, wow this movie kicked ass. it was fucking awesome. the part in the jedi temple, some lady in back says, "No don't kill the children!" and some guy next to me yells "shut the hell up lady!" it was pretty funny. after the movie was over and it said directed by george lucas everyone just kind of sat for a few seconds in awe. anakin pisses me off.
edit: btw if mace could beat darth sidious so easy does that mean he was stronger than yoda?
Well i got the feeling Mace Windu was stronger in combat then Yoda.. Yoda is the wisest and strongest in the force and Mace is the strongest in combat and lightsaber-fights..
yeah, mace shows how a jedi is supposed to be, just because he is stronger, he understands he doesnt have as much experience and wisdom.
I chanced upon this Episode III parody made by some fans. Pretty amusing, and even you don't like parodies there's at least a Jar Jar death scene in it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Check it out, the movie's around 30 mb.

Hmmm.... the download link won't work for me.
Yeah I agree Mace does seem a lot stronger then Yoda.
I downloaded it from one of the mirrors.......Originally posted by: Xollence

10 years? The second Death Star is made in like less than 5 years. Lucas really botched up some of his time line to make tie-in's in the new trilogy. There is no way it takes about 18-20 years to make the first and then such little time with the second. The second was made to fix the errors in the first, namely, the vent port.
Yeah, I'm a Star Wars nerd. Well, not a camp out for 4 weeks kinda to see a movie I know will let me down nerd, but remember most of the facts from the movies and related publications nerd.
Eps III wasn't NEARLY as bad as I and II, but it still doesn't come close to the original trilogy. Unaltered mind you, Lucas screwed up the ending to VI so bad. He's a CG psycho, using it wherever and whenever now, especially when he did fine with just 'movie magic' before.
