Just got back from watching Star Wars...

[Xolotl]

My favorite part was that one time, when that guy ruined the ending of the movie. Mannnnn I loved that :p

3) It seems to tie everything in nicely

I'm not a huge Star Wars fanatic but reason 3 captures my sentiments. I always wondered how Darth Vader had gotten into the condition he was in to end up in the black armor and his labored-breathing condition.

We can all die now.

All I know is James Earl Jones' voice rocks.........SIMBA

Yeah no kidding...I mean poor guy already lost half an arm, then he loses nearly the whole other arm, both legs whacked off at the knees, and is covered in third degree burns due to the molten lava. I guess the "suit" was needed. I wonder if his HMO covered all that work?

It is total crap to hear people giving this movie lots of credit for not being a big steaming pile of like the first two, but merely being mediocre.

To make an analogy: Let's say you have three loaves of bread. You leave one out for two weeks and it gets moldy. You leave the second out for a month and it grows a lot of mold. You leave the third loaf out for six weeks and it turns into a barely-recognizeable festering moldy blob. Just because the one that was left out for two weeks has the least amount of mold doesn't make it edible.

In that same vein, just because this movie didn't suck as bad as the first two isn't something Lucas should be praised for.

The cheesiest line in the movie is towards the end when the Emperor tells Vader (whose now in his suit) that Padame died at his hands and he yells out "Nooooo!" I kept waiting for him to scream out "Khannnn" or something.

When me and my daughter saw the movie, we laughed at that part, probably he most overused dramatic cliche in hollywood history.

I didn't know that Anakin became Darth Vader!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Episode I, II, and III SUCKED BIG TIME!! I mean, what's with the HORRIBLE ACTING and the CHEESY LINES!!! I really do think that Liam Neeson and Samuel L Jackson are good actors, but they did a horrible job here! I blame Lucas and his writing for the crapy performances. Hayden Christensen should be shot, plain and simple! lol He should really start looking for another profession. Natalie Portman was also horrible (acting wise) but you tend to forgive her 'cause she looks so damn goooood. I think the best acting came from Yoda and Senator Palpatine/Darth Sidious. However, I do believe that this one was more entertaining merely because it makes sense out of the whole saga. I'd give it a 5/10, and I'm being optimistic and giving Lucas credit for the wonderful special effects.

It's sad when the best performance in the prequels has come from R2D2.

[spurster]

The whole plot is pretty clumsy. It was much too easy to make Anakin switch to the Dark Side and various evil actions.

[samikeyp]

pooh, at the end of the movie antilles tells one of his people to give the droids a 'mindwipe'

Actually Senator Organa (the dude that adopted Leia) told Captain Antilles to "erase the protocol droids' memory" referring to C3P0.

If you haven't seen it yet or want to see it again, come up to Austin and see it in the DLP theater at the Highland 10 -- it's like watching an enormous plasma screen. There are only two or three DLP theaters in Texas.

[pooh]

It was funny though how in one scene Natalie Portman wasn't showing, then the next it looked like she'd swallowed a balloon, then back to nothing. But it wasn't a bad movie, it just had too many holes in it that's all. I think Anakin was drawn in too easily by the dark side in the film. I mean you had two movies to lure poor Luke down that way, why not stretch it out in this trilogy?

They didn't even explain where Yoda was heading or even show him leaving. The only thing he mentioned was "into exile I must go". , I thought he was heading to exile after leaving the wookies.

Also, having watched Episode IV once again there was another kind of hole in the story line. When Darth Vader once again confronts Obi-Wan he says to him. "When I left you, I was but the learner...now I am the master." Uh...newsflash Anakin err Darth. Obi-Wan left you, literally "half the man" there on that molten surface. I guess all that machine wires inside of you messed up your brain.

Then there's Obi-Wan...when giving Luke the light saber he took from Anakin after sawing him in half. "Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough. But your Uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow Obi-Wan on some idealistic crusade or something." Yeah I clearly remember Anakin saying while laying on a bunch of smoldering charcoal. "Oh by the way...now that you've sawed me in half, take my light saber and give it to my pregnant wifes' child." I guess I didn't hear that in between the cries of "I hate you!"
