Since Darth Sith isn't capable of putting into words what problems he has I'll do it for 'im (or her)...
BTW- I think Chefelf's list is overall great. LOTS of problems he caught but I do see flaws in his list.
Here's just a take from Epi. I
#8-Your complaint is that you don’t like the silly modern phrases like ‘exqueeze’ me. That’s cool, and I agree with you, but first you say that you do like it in Xena?
That doesn’t makes sense to me.
I can’t call you ‘wrong’ but it seems inconsistent and you don’t mention why it’s not. Both are action fantasy.
Thought you shoulda’ mentioned how that 2-headed announcer did that funky, ‘Go Annie, Go Annie’ move. That was much sadder to me.
#13-I think a big monster fish could go after their ship. Wouldn’t you consider their ship like a shiny metal fishing lure? I would.
#14- Yeah technically the line "there’s always a bigger fish" is false but he was just using it as a saying.
You could have hit this scene by noting how it was dumb that Qui-Gon seemed to ‘expect’ that ‘bigger fish’ for no reason at all.
#19- Just personally I think Maul (while yes a cartoon name) looked cool. The actor’s real martial art ability was great IMO -though it spotlighted the fact that Ewan and Liam can’t do moves like that at all so made Jedi Knights look retarded.
The two Jedi on one Sith IMO should have been avoided too by altering the story so Obi-Wan was doing something else while QuiGon took on Maul and got whacked.
#22- Watto was a crude annoying cartoon character. It fit that he’d mis-pronounce the word Nabooian.
Your point that it’s wrong in the script too is a point but doesn’t flaw the movie so irrelevant.
#24- force-proof heads IS dumb but if you didn’t complain when we saw Jabba in RotJ block Luke’s powers then I’d say your complaint is unfair.
I don’t think many people did have a problem with Jabba blocking Luke’s mind tricks.
Just made the Jedi look extra dumb again by Qui-Gon trying to con this dude into fixing his car for free 'cuz he forgot his checkbook when his ride broke down in the ghetto. CHEAP.
#30- I think IF you have slaves in SW (which is ridiculous on it’s own after 1000 years of peace with the Jedi watching over the galaxy) then I think them having chips in their heads to keep them from running away does make sense. They can’t remove them like a bracelet or anything extrenal.
The whole slave Annie and mom was awful though.
#39- You just say you don’t like the two-headed announcer. Add an explanation like my comment from #8 above and you’d save this point.
#42-“-“Any Star Wars fan worth their weight knows that "poodoo" is Huttese for "fodder".
I didn’t. Where is this translated in any of the films?
I thought it meant ‘shit’. It seems that’s actually what it means in this and your same point in Epi II’s list.
You’d fix this point if you just said it sound childish ‘cuz that’s perfectly true.
#44- Is a valid point but it shouldn’t count as it’s the same point as #39.
You mention Jar Jar’s problems several times too. Debatable, but I think it’s not quite fair to count them as multiple points.
#48-You don’t list anything you don’t like so it doesn’t count. There’s an asterisk there but I couldn’t find anywhere that said what that asterisk meant. I appears that it’s ‘stuff you like’ so you know they’re not problems.
#51- Again it’s something you say you like so not a valid problem. Another asterisk.
#62- You complain about Palpatine being the Sith is not a mystery ‘cuz you already know. Kinda valid, but then it’s not for someone seeing these from the beginning.
But seeing them from the beginning ruins the shock in V that Vader says he’s Luke’s father.
And am I the only kid who DIDN’T BELIEVE VADER in V and waited for VI to see if it was really true!?
#66- Mobile Holograms.
R2-D2 was in a sense the same thing in IV taking Leia’s message to Crazy ‘Ol Ben. These rich trade dorks having a mobile droid that was like a hands-free cell phone seemed ‘ok’ to me. Plenty of other crap to complain about though.
#67- Droids with binoculars. Dumb looking droids. Silly, but I wouldn’t expect all droids (and they were all mass porduced identical) to have more costly zoom vision so you just give some programed to lead groups binoculars so the have those ‘upgraded’ optics. Yeah... still awful.
#69-again another positive not negative point so it doesn’t count as a reason to hate. No idea at all why you have these in there.
