Mace sensed darkness in Anakin, that's why he continually did not trust him, and did not make him a Jedi Master.

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

Its still good through a second viewing if any of you were interested.

I saw it twice on the first day, and I agree... Although some of it's flaws, such as the dialogue and such stuck out a bit more the second time through...

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

I just saw it today, and I have to say I liked it.


*SPOILERS*





I admit, I would have liked it more if it showed him actually killing the children, but I guess implying is good enough.


I am happy that Jar-Jar Binks had no lines, and only 2 appearances. That made me pleased.

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

Since the topic has a spoiler marking on it now, I'm not going to bother with another :p

I think not showing it was part of what made that scene as powerful as it was... I mean, you see that one kid kick some ass and then get blasted when Bail Organa arrives... And you do see Anakin kill a couple kids on the security hologram thing...

But neither of them were as powerful as when Anakin waltzed in the room, the kids asked him for help, he just stares and turns on his lightsaber... End of scene...

Both times I went, a few people (within earshot), as soon as the lightsaber came on, either gasped or muttered (in a shocked sorta way) something to the extent of "Is he gonna kill the kids!?"... I think actually showing it would've taken away a bit of it's effect...

Some things are better left implied or indirect-ish... Like love... "I'M SO IN LOVE!!!", "NO, IT IS I WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!"...

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

It works like the whole Tusken Raider thing in Episode II. When you just see Anakin kill those two or three and then only hear about the rest, you get some prety grisly images in your head. The same works with the Younglings.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I begin to think that III might replace IV as the #2 Star Wars movie. While ANH is certainly a better made film than RotS, the third prequel is much better it terms of what it adds to the entire saga and, well, the emotions of seeing it happen. Know what I mean? The lightsaber battle in ANH didn't mean anything in 1977, but now that we know the true extent of Vader's betrayal...

Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
Episode IV - A New Hope
Episode II - Attack of the Clones
Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Saw it on Friday and loved it, enough to get the Star Wars Trilogy, to continue the story (since I've never really seen them).

The only wrong for me, was the whole movie experience...

There was a guy sitting with his girlfriend that just loved the movie so much that he felt it necessary to ruin it for me and most of the crowd by going to sleep DURING THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!!! not only that but SNORING, very loudly I might add. His girl just sat there like a f*cking dumbass while he was in Dreamland, collecting Z's on the ground. Sony(Kyuzo) and I were contemplating on throwing my drink to his ass after the movie was over, but he woke up when the movie ended. When we were getting up, I heard him saying "Oh what did I miss?"

I'm thinking "THE WHOLE F*CKING MOVIE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!" [/endrant]

Back to the movie...

I loved how Yoda kicked ass just walking in the room...

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

I was going to throw my funnel cake at his ass.

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

Saw it. Few comments.

*EXTREME SPOILERS*












R2D2 managed to be totally badass. Like, come on. That droid took it to the hoop in the first part of the movie.

I love all the little bits that tie into the next few episodes. Like the immortality thing. That made me happy. I got a chuckle over how they decided to wipe C3P0's memory.

I thought Chewbacca's presence was completely and utterly pointless.

Some of the scenes with Anakin's turning seemed a little rushed. His inner struggle was never properly displayed because I believe Hayden Cristensen didn't do a good enough job of getting his character's emotions across in his lines. But his performance in this beats his performance in Episode II by leaps and bounds.

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

Yeah, I laughed when they wiped C3P0's memory, too. haha.

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

Why did they?

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

He's talkative. They didn't want him sharing some information that could potentially prove damaging to the soon-to-be rebellion. Or whatever.


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

So does that mean he won't remember any of his adventures and his relationship with Anakin in episodes 1-3?

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
 

exactly, thats why he beats on R2 throughout ANH muttering that he doesn't know who the hell obi wan is and that R2 is a crazy.
