Star Wars - One Year Later

[sf49erfan]

Okay, so it has been a year since the release of Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Now that you have had time to reflect on it, are you satisified with the way George Lucas finished his story?

 

[Lithium Hobo]

Well, I can honestly say it could have been better. Episode I did not push the Darth Maul ticket enough, Episode II I have disowned, and Episode III had some pretty weak lines...

Obi-Wan: "Can't you see? The Sith are evil!"
Anakin: "In my opinon the Jedi are evil..."

...that's just sad. So easy he could say something like "The Sith are the only truth!" or something dark like that, corrupted. No, he has to go and say opinon like he's fine if Obi-Wan disagrees. Blech. However, the fight scenes, space battles, and Palpatine were all very very awesome. Not to mention Mace Windu. I heart Windu, lol. Also...they gave the Federation's droids too much personality. Not needed for comic relief. That's what a Han Solo character is for...which was not present sadly. But, what can you do?

So in conclusion, it could have been alot better, but I couldn't imagine life without them.

This pretty much sums it up for me.

 

[american_eggroll]

the movie could have done better, but i think that it did a good job of tying the two trilogies together

I enjoyed each of them as they came out. But now that I watch them back to back with the OT....I wish the new ones had never been made. Lucas is a horrible director. Should have passed the torch as he did with ESB and ROTJ. I hated the way that Anakin turned into Vader. I hated the fact that the greatest villain in film history did nothing more than chop up little youngling Jedi while glorified stormtroopers blew away entire legions of Jedi masters. And what was to be the most epic fight in the whole saga was ruined by one of the worst and most poorly delivered lines in the history of film. "But from MY perspective the JEDI are evil!"

Yes! Ugh, that line was horrible. >.< Sounds so weak, blech. As for the killing younglings, well it was just to show that Anakin was weak of mind and Palpatine easily manipulated him to do what he wanted, cause you could tell Anakin didn't want to hurt them, but he did without hestitation. Why does this suck? Because Vader is from then on so different to me! When I grew up, he was this dark evil man that cast a shadow over the entire galaxy. Then, as more movies came out, and I grew older, he became more of a puppet, and a poor one at that. Heck, Grand Moth Tarkin was more evil than Vader, way more. Give me Malak or Revan anyday.

 

[SteelDisciple]

Phantom Menace was OK..too kiddy thought.

I LOVED Attack of the Clones...it was the first of the prequels to actually be LIKE the original trilogy in that it's all adventure and action. Very well done.

Loved Sith just as much, maybe even better. So much action and adventure.

 

[SpaceMan]

As for the killing younglings, well it was just to show that Anakin was weak of mind and Palpatine easily manipulated him to do what he wanted...

And perhaps to show—symbolically—Anakin ‘killing’ the innocent child that he himself had once been…?

Anyway: Yeah, I’m satisfied with Revenge of the Sith. I think it is probably one of my favorite Star Wars films, actually…

 

[MaddiesDad]

Heck no. What a way to end things by going backwards---

 

[Sword-In-Hand]

Reflecting back on Episode III I can say that I'm satisfied. I didn't think Hayden Christensen made a good Vader. And I didn't like lines like, "I believe in democracy!" and "I hate you!" Vader sounded like a spoiled kid who didn't get a bike for Christmas, which maybe that's what he was supposed to be. In the earlier versions, Vader was the epitome of evil, but before his suit he was the epitome of weak fear. Again something that he may have supposed to have been. But I like the entire series. What made the earlier ones so good was that they were before their time and in this age that's hard to do. Like creating a miracle twice.

oh, oh! Guess it's time for me to go rent it so I can coment in here

*geek mode initiated*

I would go nuts if they'd make a KOTOR movie about Revan.

 

[Victory of the Cross]

Well to be honest one of the only lines i did like was
"From my point of view the Jedi are Evil"

 

[Ryder]

I found them dense.

Palpatine says good and evil are points of view -nice relativistic position, ok.

Obi wan says only the sith deal in absolutes -they do? Which sith? Obviously not Palpatine.

And they all say that the light and dark sides are sides of the same thing -makes me wonder what the worry is about the dark side then...

All in all, it was more entertaining watching Lucas' worldview crumble onscreen than anything else in the movies.

Of course, the dialogue was atrocious.

You're looking at it too much on a surface level. Palpatine was trying to confuse Anakin and make him question the Jedi. The Sith and Jedi are very similar, their difference is the key that Jedi use their power to help others and the Sith see it as a way to bring themselves about the rest. Oddly enough, the Jedi indirectly do the same, so that's where they are one in the same.

That thing about only Sith dealing in absolutes though...that one threw me for a bit. Sith don't deal in absolutes, Jedi do.

I would go nuts if they'd make a KOTOR movie about Revan.

Oh man, if they did that, and did it as well as KOTOR did, I'd weap for joy. That'd be awesome.

 

[BeachBlonde]

Has it been a year already? I'm pkay with how they did things but it didn't go down as a great Star Wars film like some of the others.
