******the official STARWARS thread!******

I tend to disagree with the people who say that the first 2 (PM & Clones) were terrible movie because of the bad acting. Don't get me wrong - Portman's acting is unusually bad and Hayden Christianson has the charisma of a doorknob, which did put me off a bit. But the reason I (and probably many of you) fell in love with the whole Star Wars thing to begin with was because of the special effects and creatures (most of which are now CGI), and the fantasy of it all. As long as that part continues to be great, I'm willing to overlook a bit of bad acting. I own all 5 of them on DVD and never get tired of watching them over and over and over.

That being said, I've probably never looked forward more to a movie than I am to the final chapter. It's driving me NUTS, and being overseas, it's going to be even harder to see it..

How did they do that to his hair? I've seen pictures of him in real life, he has THIN hair. In these pictures, though, his hair is full.

A wig?

 

[InnerPhyre]

It's not a wig. He just grew the hair out.

actually....i dont not like eps 1 and 2 for bad acting...nor love the last 3 for the creatures and special effects!

I love eps 4, 5 and 6 because i think its an awesome story line that develops in the coolest way possible with good background information laid out in all of the movies that draws everything together.

and actually i thought the acting in ep 1 and 2 was good, i was on with the acting...i thought..and this is true in some areas.. The backbone of what is suppose to happen is changed and i think they're taking too long to develop the storyline that needs to be there.

My sister wants to know why only some of the Jedi Knights (yoda and Obi-Wan[ben]Kenobi) disappear when they die but not others.

Me and my dad think it is because the force took the ones that disappeared, and the others were killed....against their will.

"The Force is strong with this one." I'm guessing that it talkes a moment of conscious decision to disappear like that and if you're in the middle of a lightsaber fight and don't stop to "pray" you just get cut in half like all the rest. Just a thought...
Oh, and also it may have to do with a lever of mastery of the Force. Who knows? = )

Okay thanks. I will pass it on.

Look there, there's a handful of theories there, take your pick really. Though one on the second page seems most... thought out (or using George's idea anyways)

And yes, George Lucas does have a reason for treating these Jedi deaths differently. "There is a whole issue around that and the ability to disappear," he says. "The key line to understanding this is when Ben Kenobi tells Darth Vader, 'If you strike me down...' And it'll be explained as we go along."

I believe it probably has something to do with your mastery of the force...I mean Yoda and Obi-Wan were amazingly skilled...Qui-Gon not as much...and Anakin had mad skill as well...

[cbalke]

i used to watch star wars every single night while i was going to sleep. i'm going to have to rip my copies onto 1 dvd so i can do that again. ***note that i said rip my own copies for my own personal use***

 

[InnerPhyre]

CGI has come so far.....look at how beautiful that 2nd pic looks with the proto-star destroyer below the ARC fighter.....And then compare that to the gungan-droid battle in TPM. No comparison. *CANT WAIT*

Starwars is my favorite Science fiction movie of all time, I really enjoy all the movies and i think the special effects are awesome. There are alot of people out there who are down on the recent movies that came out but I dont see anything wrong with them. The pod race in episode 1 really kept me on the edge of my seat. It is my favorite scene out of all the movies I have seen in my entire lifetime.
