Well, that now beats out the Vader "Noooooo!" for the worst moment in Star Wars history.


Nice try, but they're not even close. This is a throwaway quick scene that someone happened to notice. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" is hugely climactic and can't possibly be avoided if you're in Hell and actually forced to watch ROTS again. Plus, it has James Earl Jones saying "Padme," and that feels like you just made out with your own grandmother.

Thanks a lot, Mypantsareonfire! It is hotter than hell, and that particular image is making me want a nice, hot soapy shower! wink.gif

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard you say.


Boba Fett looks like he's swimming. Or Ice skating. Or discoing - its hard to tell.

That's how I always imagined Superman on weed.

It was a terrible shot, but of all the times I've seen that movie, it's the first time I've ever really noticed it. So, it doesn't bother me all that much. I'm sure I can find fifty other scenes in ROTJ that bother me a lot more.

Actually, it looks like the guy is shying back from Luke because, "Dude, you've got the most incredibly huge dog turd on your boot!"

Boba Fett is flying by like a muppet whose handler has suddenly had a seizure. And he screams like he KNOWS he is about to be thrown into a giant asshole in the middle of the desert.

The explanation is quite simple really. You guys are looking at this all wrong.

So see, Luke DELIBERATELY missed with his kick to psych the guy out. Check his exp​ression, he's laughing! The dude thinks it's so hilarious that he just tosses his gun away, throws up his hands and tips over. He can't help it, the thing is so funny, he's just called it a day. It's like "dude, if you're not even going to try, I give up!"

wink.gif

That or it's actually a force telekinesis kick! (nerds, please put this on wookieepedia, you know you want to!)


The Imperial helmet he's wearing is clearly a found item he's either salvaged or traded for. Look at the scrappy outfits of so many of the folks on Tatooine. They just cobble together whatever they want. These guys working for Jabba are pirates, mercenaries and the lowest scum of the universe anyway, you expect them to be all clean pressed, color cordinated and accessorized like Queer Eye for the Star Wars Guy? Hardly!


As for Fett's rocket pack, it's got a repulsorlift stabilizer that is functioning properly (even if the pack's rockets themselves aren't) and his suit itself is flameproof. DUH!



[insert picture of Iraqi propaganda minister wearing Imperial officer outfit here]

There are no errors in the movies of Star Wars! The bashers are committing suicide by the thousands upon the gates of Skywalker Ranch, praise be to Lucas!

So in ANH, Han feared a bunch of overweight, scrap metal enthusiast bums who do not even know how to operate their weapons and accessories properly. I guess Greedo shooting first was not the first time Lucas tried to destroy Solos character.
It seems like everyone is over the nitpicking. Too bad.

This manages to be funier than the flying sequnce from The Big Lebowski, one of the most underrated comedies IMHO.

No way this is the WORST moment in Star Wars history. For that honor, I nominate the scene where Ewok #1 tries to shake awake Ewok #2, his girlfriend or best pal, and realizes she/he is dead and lets out a groan rivaling the Vader "Nooooo!!!!"

That would make a great future addition. Just to remind the OT fans of that pathetic nostalgic moment. Living Ewok reacts and we hear the Vader "Nooooo!!!!, or as I prefer to remember it: the Vader "ugh-ehhh-nnnNNNNOOOOOoooo!!!..."

I'd like to see a best of prequel release. It could follow an underground path, like the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and all the rightful bashers and mislead others could go together and shout things at the screen and to each other. 90 minutes, tops.

More than JEDI being fake and kitschy, it wasn't satisfying. Not on the whole.

I don't know why, but ROTJ has a certain appeal to me that none of the PT movies do. Maybe its because I recall seeingt it with my dad in the theatre upon its release and rerelease about a year later, but the movie works as a whole, albeit on a different level than ANH and ESB. If the OT were instead to run a number of movies as originally intended, then ROTJ would have been like Star Trek IV, a brief respite for some laughs in between two serious missions like rescuing Han and the evenual confrontation with Vader/the Emperor. The PT served to make Jedi look like the finest arthouse flick by comparison.

Hence why Greedo is wearing a life jacket...

I can imagine, prior to filming, actors playing the palace denizens getting to simultaneously choose their accessories from a rummage pile.

Look what Jabba found at the local dump:
