How can Padme fall in love/lust with Obi-Wan? I know that Obi-Wan is a real man and all (unlike Anakin) but Padme had like no interaction with him in TPM (yet he is still listed as an "old friend" of hers by Palpatine in AOTC) and exchanges like two or three sentences with him in AOTC.

Then again, Star Wars is George Lucas land so I suppose we shouldn't be surprised at all by something this dumb and late in development.

I remember right after the Craptom Menance it was rumoured (along with that damn N Sync guest appearance) there would be a love triangle between Obi Wan, Anakin and Padme in episode two. As cliched as that would've been, I think that could've worked. It would've given Obi Wan a true character flaw instead of going around training Anakin despite the fact he tells everyone and their mother the boy was too old to train. And maybe actually give Anakin a real reason to be jealous of his master if he discovers he has the hots for the girl he likes, and start the deterioration between the two

But to do it in Episode 3. Pure nonsense.

Nice List, Hannibal!

1.Baron Papanoida. George Lucas is insane.

Well, seeing that the name is crappy and Lucas in character looks downright moronic, I vote that we start calling Lucas and his character, Baron Crapanoida.

5.Return of Quigon's ghost...just poopy

The spoilers I have heard for this one are bone chilling. Apparently, Yoda is no longer the top Jedi, QGJ is, supposedly, in a league of his own. Yoda and Ben are not in that class, according to Lucas' revised ways of thinking.

21.Jar Jar Binks. Well...he's in it isn't he?

Yes, he's in it, but what's worse is that I have heard that he lives.

Baron Paranoida... Baron Adenoidal... Baron Haemorrhoid- oh, this is is too easy.

[The Other]

I second that! All in favour?


22) The hairbuns... no just no that's Leia's hairstyle no one elses.
23) CGI anything... I don't want shiny ships and droids with cloaks I want the shoe back!
24) Some variation of Padme dying in childbirth, Padme not knowing it's twins until the birth or Padme saying how much Luke looks like his father. Come on you all know it's going to happen.

[J m HofMarN]

25: Palpatine's teeth suddenly turn from white to yellow, but turn back again in time for his OT appearance.

Also, on the subject of robots using lightsabers Hannibal brought up something very interesting. Not only is it just plain stupid, but its stupid by Lucas' own writing.

Grievous is a cyborg. That means he has very few if any midichlorians
Midichlorians determine ability to use the force
Ability to use the force allows one to use a lightsaber.

(note I'm not accepting this tripe, just using Lucas' idiocy against him)

So, we have a Jedi who has trained all their life to wield a lightsaber and has the ability to use the force, and then we have a cyborg with no force abilities, who can somehow wield four... Riiight....

Also, on the subject, isn't it funny how he just suddenly popped up? Does anyone remember when, to introduce a villain, you had to mention him and actually acknowledge him in the previous movies? Where was Grievous during ep 1 and 2? Are we to believe that in that tiny amount of time he killed a fuckton of Jedi, became a general, learned to use four lightsabers, etc etc? What the hell? If he was going to replace count Dooku than why is it that he was never mentioned? Why wasn't he at the seperatist meeting?

And why kill off count Dooku for no reason? Much less do it just a few minutes into the movie. Is Lucas out to break every single rule of good cinema?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yep. Would you believe Obi-wan kills it with a blaster?


Lucas will be three for three, introducing new bad-guy, Associate Villians. If anything, he's consistent.

And why kill off count Dooku for no reason? Much less do it just a few minutes into the movie. Is Lucas out to break every single rule of good cinema?

Good cinema? He always maintained just wanted to offer Saturday Morning Serial quality entertainment.

Lauding him with praise (and cash) while granting the man credence was our fault and his demise.

*cough* KOTOR 2 *cough*

Sorry, back on topic... you're right, of course. Why couldn't Lucas just have introduced Dooku in the first movie and kept him up until the end of Episode III? Not only would this have helped maintain consistency, it would also have allowed time to develop his character and make him seem like a real threat. We could have seen Anakin battle Dooku in order to replace him as Palapatine's apprentice, which is exactly how the Sith are supposed to do things... oh, Lucas, you're such a moron.

[Michel Orla]

Everyone's absolutely right about how Lucas has handled his villians in the PT. The Emperor was done right (even moreso in the novels then the movies) We knew all along he was the man in charge of the Empire, even though we never saw him in person until ROTJ. Grevious was never mentioned in either Episode 1 or 2, in either the movies or the novels (which I have unfortunately read) You think something going around killing Jedi would merrit some attention. Maybe mention him in Episode 2 instead of wasting dialogue for a crappy throwback to the OT with "spice miners"

Ewan McGregor continues to anger nerds around the world by stating the obvious about the "Star Wars" series, insisting "Attack Of The Clones" was "unsatisfactory" and "The Phantom Menace was "disappointing." But McGregor, who plays Obi Wan Kenobe, is pleased with the final movie, "Revenge Of The Sith," which premieres in May. McGregor told Total Film, "We fight our a---s off in that film." Just tell us that Jar Jar Binks dies ...
