  1. In Topic: 91 Reasons to Hate Episode III

    Posted 28 Jun 2005

    Hey, Chefelf. I felt the weirdest sense of deja-vu when I read the internet spoilers about the infamous "Opera scene," and heard that Palpatine insinuated that he created Anakin via midichlorians. Finally I reread your Reasons to Hate Ep. I, and I realized you predicted it from the beginning! Palpatine created Anakin without using intercourse at all! I hope you made a bet with someone that you can collect ....


    BTW, I agree with Roger Ebert, I think it was he who said that the opera looked more like a giant sex education video. I was excited by the description because I love actual earth opera, but I don't know what that was.

    Best: "The Empire Strikes Back," no contest.

    Though "Empire" has plenty of problems, it also has Hoth, Yoda, Dagobah, the Force philosophy, "I love you" "I know," 6 million forms of communication, Lando Calrissian, NO DEATH STARS, the back of Vader's Head, Cloud City, the astroids ... I mean, so much of what we think of as "Star Wars" comes from "Empire." Unlike ANH, the effects, acting, scope, and drama were all up to par.

    There is some bad stuff, though. Droid antics. Stupid romantic lines, like, "You want me to stay because of the way you feel about me!" Yoda. Lando Calrissian. 6 million forms of communication. And don't get me started about that silly continuity error of Darth Vader being Luke's father. George Lucas would have to make about four more movies to explain that one ...

    The second best is "Star Wars," aka "A New Hope." Not really for its own merits, but because the others were worst. This is sort of the opposite of the prequels--crudely made, but full of spirit.

    The third best is probably "Return of the Jedi." I mean, Ewoks. Jabba's Palace. Luke transforming from a callow, innocent, annoying whiny farmboy to an annoying, smug Obi-Wan Kenobi impersonator. (Shut up, Luke.) The Death Star, once again. Pussification of Han, Lando, and Vader. On the plus side, it has the Emperor in it, Force lightning that actually hurts, the FRONT of Vader's head, and no Hayden Christensen.

    "Revenge of the Sith," I'm not so sure about. I think I like it the best of the prequels. On the other hand, it has Hayden Christensen in it. After three movies of Padme, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Yoda, and Mace, I've lost sympathy for everyone. But overall, I think it's better than "Attack of the Clones" or "Phantom Menace."

    "AotC" and "PM" are tied. "Phantom Menace" has Jar-Jar Binks in it, that asshole Qui-Gon Jinn, Jake Lloyd wooden as Anakin, and is unspeakably dull from beginning to end. More important, it represents a huge letdown to fans after years of anticipation.

    By that measure, AotC should be better, and it has some moments--like the battle stuff at the end--that I really enjoy, beyond anything in PM. But it has Hayden Christensen, as the dull-eyed, creepy psycho, Anakin. *Shudder.* "I don't like sand. It's rough, and course, and irritating, and it gets everywhere!" Run, Padme, run! I can't honestly say that PM is "worse" than that! sick.gif
  3. In Topic: That old Hermit

    Posted 6 Jun 2005

    I re-watched "A New Hope" after ROTS (and it is gold in comparison), and I noticed that too ... however, I'm going to let it slide. Obi-Wan has a good reason to be vague, and if he said, "I changed my name to Ben shortly after you were born," it would bring up one question he doesn't want to answer, namely, how he knows when Luke was born.

    And he's been sitting in the desert for twenty years. I think it affected his head somehow. I mean, he calls Darth Vader "Darth," which is like calling someone "Mister." (Or Grand Moff Tarkin "Grand." Just "Grand.") He's forgotten all his lightsaber tricks.


    I thought the line was, "I haven't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since, oh, before you were born."

      Why didn't Obi-Wan cross reference Jango's battle-suit?  If the council computer couldn't figure out the origins of the saber-dart, at least it could identify some armor.


    I' ve always assumed that the analysis droids couldn't identify the dart because all information about Kamino had been erased from the Jedi computers. (You'd think the Kaminoans would start to wonder what was up. "We haven't had a visitor in ten years. And we stopped getting our 'Reader's Digests'.") So, if Obi-Wan did look up Jango's armor, he wouldn't've found anything in the archives. Anyway, if it was me, I much rather call up everyone who owed me a favor and tell them, "Look at this dart and tell me where it's from!" than look at three billion mugshots of bounty hunters.
