STAR WARS: Episode 3 - Your say

[SeymourGuado]

Well all I can say is well done LUCAS!!! This one was by far the best in the new 3 and probably either first or second best in the whole thing depending on Empire Strikes Back.

It was way darker. We finally see the loose ends tied up. We see Yoda vs sidious. We see just how Palpatine manages to take control fully and how anakin becomes the evil darth Vader.

This was wonderfully executed, well written and most of all cool.

My favourite parts where:

Yoda vs Darth Sidious.
Sidious vs Mace Windu: especially the fact sidious loses and is not as powerful as believed
Anakin choking off his wife and then being savagely punished by Obi wan.
Anakin wiping out all the younglets (children training to become jedi's), this part was very well done and shows just how evil anakin has become in his lust for power.


Bottom line. Great film, yoda, sidious and Anakin kick ass.

I also liked the way in the DVD version of Return of the Jedi they dubbed in the new anakin over the old one at the end of the film:)

So people what is your take?

Just for safetys sake. http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/spoiler.gif


My favorite part of the movie was what I like to call "The Order 66 Montage" I just sat there gapeing. Yes gapeing. Oh yes and the fact that Jar Jar doesn't speak.

When anakin was screaming after getting his legs cut off and set on fire sounded so realistic that it sent chills up my spine. Mainly because It brought back bad memories of when I use to hear my freinds scream in pain. It made me wonder if George Lucas poked anakin with a hot poker or something just for the scene,all in the name of acting. A oscar is in order.

They should of shown more scene's with anakin as vader on a killing spree,hunting down more jedi or bombarding naboo or something like that. The movie should of been a 2 parter. Instead of all condensed like mithrandir said.



I must admit I understood more of it after I watched attack of the clones last sunday. I forgot so much and now its sort of more clearhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif

i just loved the part when Sidious is launching them ship things at Yoda and Yoda sends one spinning back.

Just loved how evil the film on a whole was, nice and sinister indeed. i particulary enjoyed watching the Padwans get slaughtered, and watching Padme get chocked off.....EXCELLENT.

one downfall to the film, 'CORNY & CHEESY SCENES', for Example "Anakin im Pregnant"......GO AWAY PADME, at least this time the cheesy scenes were few and far between in comparison to earlier films.

i also thought Grievous was a funny character, he runs like a right dope, but when he holds them 4 light sabers it looks absolutely amazing, Obi-Wan should have been killed off.

(why wont the end of the bottom paragraph turn green, it kept on changing colours, does anyone have a reason or explanation why???)

See, I don't think it was the best star wars movie and it wasn't as I thought it would be. Here are my comments

1. They always said that Darth Vader hunted the jedi and killed them which is not how it is presented in the movie. In fact he barely shows how powerful he is by losing its only battle to Obi-Wan. (Okay, this part I knew it was going to happen about the lava and all)

2. I believe Leia said about his mother that :"She hadn't much memories of her, She was always sad." So what the heck? Is Padme still alive or what? Did they faked off her death so Anakin for her protection?

3. It was fun to learn about the story of Darth Plagueis. How he was powerful and....wise that he was able to use the force to influence the midichlorians to create life or in other words...create Anakin....

4. It would seem in Quebec, we got the censored version which is missing some scenes...which sucks...

5. It was also fun to see why 3PO has no memory of the past when Bail Organa gives the order to the Captain Antilles to wipe the protocol's droid mind.

6. It was great to see how the rebellion was also formed.

7. There was to much thing that had to happen in this episode. Lucas should have split the action between this movie and Attack of the Clones...which IMO is not so important to the story if it wasn't for the fact that we learn about the clone army.

8. Lucas loves to plug the word : 1138 :p

I've always been a big Star Wars fan and I loved Revenge of the Sith (I saw it twice in the first two days!).

What I really liked about RotS is that it touched me emotionally more than the other movies (with possibly the exceptions of a few scenes from the original trilogy). Obi-Wan's line to Anakin about being like brothers and loving him had tears welling up in my eyes. If he had said more along those lines, I almost assuredly would have burst out crying. My eyes still get watery just thinking about that scene. I just feel so bad for Obi-Wan at that point. Another moment I found emotional was when the youngling asked Anakin what they should do and Anakin ignited his lightsaber without saying a word.

When I first heard George Lucas saying that Episode III would tie the prequels to the original movies and stuff like that, I just thought, "Well, of course it does. We will see the Empire formed and the birth of Darth Vader, so to speak.", but I didn't expect what I actually saw. After seeing RotS, there are scenes in the original movies that are orders of magnitude more meaningful than they were before RotS came out.

Examples would be Obi-Wan talking to Luke about Luke's father in Obi-Wan's house in ANH, Luke and Leia talking alone outside on the Forest Moon of Endor in RotJ, Vader meeting and talking to Luke on the Forest Moon of Endor in RotJ, and some of the scenes that have Luke in the Emperor's throne room in RotJ.

There were plenty of other scenes in Revenge of the Sith that I loved, and I'm glad that the "private" scenes between Anakin and Padmé weren't nearly as bad as they were in Attack of the Clones. RotS is easily in my top two or three favorite Star Wars movies as of right now, but I'll have to watch it several more times to see if it usurps The Empire Strikes Back as my most favorite.

3. It was fun to learn about the story of Darth Plagueis. How he was powerful and....wise that he was able to use the force to influence the midichlorians to create life or in other words...create Anakin....
O.O omg, I never realized that ! You may even be right :p Oh wait, forgive me, God is always right :D

2. I believe Leia said about his mother that :"She hadn't much memories of her, She was always sad." So what the heck? Is Padme still alive or what? Did they faked off her death so Anakin for her protection?
Yeah, I was thinking exactly the same when I saw that... but after that I realized that she was most probably talking about her adoptive mother, senator Organa's wife. No wonder why she was always sad : seeing Leai should have remembered her Padmé and Anakin's tragic destiny...

On a personal point of view, I have appreciated that movie very much, especially all the small details concerning the transition such as clothes, ship design, innuendos concernign the episodes IV to VI, and especially music. I feared to be disappointed once again, as I was with the Episode II soundtrack, but John Williams has done a great job on this one.

Besides, I still consider The Return of the Jedi as my favourite one, though the 2nd best might be Episode III... I think need to watch it one more time, some months later, to decide :D

[pikatsu]

A fun detail in the end, was the appearance of Governor Tarkin in the construction of you know what. (Anyone who's watched Farscape might recognise the guy playing Tarkin...)


I hear they are planning a TV series set after ROTS. I'd assume Vader tracks down the few jedi's, who were warned by the beacon in the temple... Forming of the Empire, and the birth of the Alliance.

I watched it the other day. Although I preferred it to the Episode 1 & 2 debacles, I sttill felt it wasnt enough. My honest opinion is that New Hope and Empire Strikes Back are the best two films. Return of the Jedi would have ruled if they had stuck with the Wookie homeworld and not changed it to the Ewoks :(.

Pikatsu there is going to be a live tv series, but not using the main characters, sort of side stories with unknown characters from the SW universe.

[SeymourGuado]

Lucas says ewoks used because he wanted more primitive animals to fight against the advanced army of the republic. He did not want another laser battle ;) Jedi was still great though

i am honestly surprized all my freinds and i likes Return of the jedi more then the empire strikes back, the ewoks arekick ass, that and they look like my dogs, but the fact that they showed that primitives can and will defend there homes at all costs, mindyou i loved the empire i just wish that they where not so anti alien

I finally saw this last night. I thought it was average. Of course, I never felt this set of three evern needed to be made. [and are they going to make three more, albeit sans Lucas? Two words: over kill!] I thought the three originals had a wonderful story, which left the past and future to the mind's wonder.

Within this movie, I had emotional contact [slightly] to Obi-Wan and Padme. Anakin came off as nothing more than a whiney bitch. "Boo-woo, I never get what I want, I'll pout and kill everyone." What a loser. I can understand his fear of losing Padme, but that justifies the killing of many, many more? What a dipwad!

I will give that Palpatine was extremely shrewd in what he does [and was the best character of the prequel three, along with Yoda, until he gets deformed, and then he goes over the top], but it's as if Anakin can throw all his Jedi training out the window at the drop of a hat [because, at least to me, his struggles were not believeable], which makes me think he never really appreciated it in the first place, which makes me think the Jedi council had no clue about this guy, which leads me to question the validity fo the Jedi council. Whew....

Obi-Wan was believeable as a person caught in the middle, with his loyalty to the Jedi and also to Anakin extremely twisted and pulled apart.

Was this movie entertaining from a graphics and action standpoint? Yes, very much so. Did it tie up loose ends? Yes, to a point [the Padme thing, Qui-Gon alive?], but I didn't think they needed to be tied up. The story and acting [save Obi-Won, Palpatine, and Yoda] were horrible. I'm sure some will skewer me for this opinion, but whatever. To each their own, I guess.

Fear is path to the Dark Side. Works with rollercoasters, too.

Wow, I couldn't have said it better myself. That's the same way I thought about them. Although I would say that I just thought all 3 of the latest releases were crap, the third was more watchable IMO, although two of my housemates who were at the theatre with me fell asleep. :zzz: . It was a bit slow.

[Twisted727]

As a Star Wars movie, I thought it was alright. I just couldn't believe how quickly Anakin turned to the dark side, that and the dialogue between hima and Padme seemed really...weird.....it's as if they just took the first take of that scene and kept it.

Fights were great, in that aspect it didn't disappoint. Although, I do wish Sidious would have fought much better with all those light sabers.
