No wonder Ep. III was so good.

oh, god, spielberg is the freaking man. I can't wait until war of the worlds.... spielberg has only ever let me down on the lost world....




funny fact: (spoiler for sith)














Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu) said he knew that he must die in this film, so he told George Lucas he would only do the film if Mace Windu goes out in a blaze of glory and not "like some sucka". On an American late-night talk show, he confirmed that he did indeed have a meaningful death scene; and he does not go out like "some punk".

Now all he needs to do is have someone write the dialogue for him.

[Jonbo298]

hmm, you are correct

[Dyne]

Actually, during my second time through watching, I was actually wanting more from the battle between Vader and Obi-wan. It really didn't seem as epic as it could be. I wouldn't have minded if Spielberg's idea's panned out more.

That was almost exactly what I was going to say.

Well, if Lucas did allow someone to write the dialogue for him, it wouldn't have been the first time. Empire and ROTJ were both written by the very capable Lawrence Kasdan.

I think we'll all agree that Mr. Kasdan should have returned to write Episodes 1-3.

Certianly 2 and 3.


William Shakespeare couldn't have saved EP 1.

(Honestly as bad as the dialog is, it's compounded by the fact that Hayden Christensen can't act)

Edit: And please let's not get into a discussion about wheather or not shakespeare was actually a good writer.

I'm willing to bet that that is a very ignorant statement produced from an opinion based on seeing Christensen only in the Star Wars prequels. Have you ever seen Shattered Glass? Christensen portrays Stephen Glass very very well in that movie. Enough to get me to buy the film on DVD. I've heard the same about Life As a House, although I haven't seen it myself.

I'm fairly certain it is Lucas' directing and writing that caused Christensen to be less than stellar in the Star Wars movies. I mean, look at Natalie Portman. She got an Oscar nomination for her role in Closer, but she causes me physical pain every time she opens her mouth in RotS.

I think Hayden Christensen can act, he just wasn't given the chance in the Star Wars movies.

Unfortunately, I think the prequels have pretty much killed his reputation...


/me shrugs and walks away

I actually thought that Hayden did an excellent job portraying Anakin, considering what he was given to work with. Take the Ep. 2 dialogue when he's describing killing the Tuscan Raiders. The dealogue is sophomorish to say the least, and Hayden actually pulled off a nice little bit of characterization from it.

I'm an actor myself, and anyone who says that there are no bad plays, only bad actors, doesn't act. Its impossible to make gold from a pile of ****. Hayden did as best as one could expect.

[Canyarion]

Yeah, that's just what Link said.

[Canyarion]

Spielberg? Cool. If it's true.
