Chefelf.com Night Life: A Concerned Jawa in Brussels - Viewing Profile

I knew the whole Mustafar scene was going to be pointless before it even started. Earlier on, doesn't Grievous say something completely dumb and illogical to the trade federation guys like "go wait on Mustafar, it is a volcanic planet, so you'll be safe there" (safe? what the hell is safe about a volcanic planet?) ???

The PTs, esp. ROTS, all remind me of entire movie scripts written via that old kiddies fun n' games book, "Mad-Libs", where there's a silly story with blanks in it, you ask a friend for goofy words to write in the blanks ("give me the name of a color, a zoo animal, a place, and a type of food!") You write what your friend says in the blanks and then read the "zany" story back to them in its entirety, with the words they've chosen in it, so you end up with something like : "The purple elephant went to the bank and ate a key lime pie!" and everyone laughs (well, if you're 8 years old)

I'm sure Lucas spent most of his time writing ROTS sitting by the pool with his assistant in situations like this:

assistant:
" OK, Mr. Lucas, I need an animal, the name of something commonly found in a room or office, and a geographical feature!"

lucas:
"Ummm, let me think a sec: 'lizard', 'a window', and 'a volcano'. How's that?"

assistant (writing):
"Fine, let me just fill in the blanks and read it all back to you...'Once Obi-wan wins the battle he began while riding his giant lizard, triumph is short-lived because not long afterwards Mace is killed by a window, leading eventually to a show-down on a planet that is one huge volcano!"

lucas:
"Wow--sounds great to me! Call 20th Century Fox and tell them we're certain to have this all ready for May 2005 at the rate we're going! Oh, and bring me another burrito, OK? I'm gonna need some brain food if we're gonna work at this rate."
