Chefelf.com Night Life: Azrael23 - Viewing Profile

The sad thing is that its the honest truth. Rabid fanboys ceased expecting more of Lucas
and this series to the point that they will literally accept anything as long as there is a Star
Wars logo on it. Its actually pathetic now.

Good point

I especially liked the part about the blue screen and making their bodies blue to cgi the clothes was hilarious as well.



You can bet, I will do just that

Thats exactly how I felt about ROTS, I mean its good eye candy and it has alot more action
than the previous two films had. Alot of deluted fanboys automatically thought that just
because this film had more action, Lucas was redeemed, but that was far from the case,
because at a point were the audience is suppose to care for the characters, they simply don't because they have zero depth and are for the main part very boring.



I find it strange that Lucas would make the entire Saga soley about Anakin, I mean he would
like people to think it was his story and while the PT makes it clear that it was Anakin's story
that is not the case regarding the OT, Vader is seen as a pretty straight forward villian, there
is no conflict within him. Lucas claims that the OT is suppose to be about Anakin's redemption
but he isn't redeemed until the final moments of ROTJ.



It was strange that Anakin was hesitant to kill Dooku, he did have a motive and it would have
been a great way to show is fall by the fact he wanted revenge and was out for blood. I just
find it strange that he is hesitant on the people he should kill but doesn't flinch with the
people he has no reason to kill at all.

Lucas did a fine job in showing us how much of a hyprocrite Anakin was. Anakin always
comments on what is and what's not the Jedi way, yet he goes on random killing sprees
gets married and lives an entire lie, so its not as if he is the ideal Jedi. He feels that
Palpatine should stand trial despite the fact that he beheaded Dooku without trial.
Palpatine was afterall behind all the events in the prequels.

Many things in ROTS made no sense and everything was rushed. Lucas had
to force things that didn't fit and now there are many inconsistencies.

I don't mind the grey areas either, but Lucas never depicted Anakin as a "good man" Sure he
was a helpful kid, but he grew into an arrogant emotionally unstable young man and then into a murderous traitor. In AOTC Padme marries this man despite not having a reason to even love him and the audience apparently doesn't connect to him either. So throughout the Prequels we don't see how a good man turns over to the darkside, we see an arrogant selfish jerk side with someone else all for selfish reasons, so Anakin turning to the darkside should have been expected from the start. There is nothing admirable about Anakin's character whatsoever nor his turning to the DS.




Now that would have been an alternative, but since Padme isn't related to Palpatine then we
should have been given more a better reason for Anakin's turn. Infact I had hoped that
Anakins descent towards the darkside had nothing to do with a woman, but more of a politcal
and social reason. I had the impression that Anakin/Vader would have been to driven in other
aspects of his life rather than be tied down by a wife. I would have preferred if Vader's
children was the result of a one night stand or perhaps a former lover he parted ways with
because he wanted to pursue more politcal power.



That and the Yoda and Sidious duel Judging by how rushed ROTS was I would
say that is pretty accurate. From the birth and naming of the twins, from Vader being placed
in the suit still raw and the Leia/Padme plot-hole.
