Revenge Of The Sith

[Winters_Sorrow]

I don't know - in this movie all he has to do is act moody and pissed off

All ol' Hayden has to do is read his reviews from Attack of the Clones....

Now THAT's method acting!!

Yeah, I hear Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were high-brow Shakespearean stage-actors, too.

Oh come on. You can't compare the two. Luke was going to turn into his own goodie two shoes self at any rate. The pre-Vader character needed more depth than that, in my opinion.

[I, Brian]

I wouldn't normally criticise the original acting - excepting that Luke being fried by the Emperor's lightning is so awful. Luke acts more like he's got bad wind than dying from an overwhelming evil power.

[Circus Cranium]

But he was pretty good in The Simpsons episode. Maybe he's better at animation.

I just caught the latest trailer for Revenge of the Sith. WOW.

Nice.

But...the trailers for 1 & 2 were also pretty enthralling - and led to a sense of disappoint.

[Chimeco]

no doubt. it does look exciting though. I feel like a happy, expectant kid watching it.

At the moment my questions revolves around the fact that the Jedi were exterminated apart from some students and old masters.

They can't cover that in one film. In the comic books droids seem to have been used extensively to battle against Jedi.

This may happen again along with more clone troopers.

[Chimeco]

if the extermination of jedi happened over the course of years or decades, as they're each individually hunted down and killed... That'd lead to some great and tragic side stories.

i kinda think this is where Lucas went wrong. There was just too much buildup in the first two episodes and not enough concentration on the main events as we were expecting it. Now everything that we know to happen has to evolve in a 2-3 hour segment. He should have just started with Clones, and gone from there (with a different anakin actor -Hayden is aweful).

Exactly, Chimeco - and as Winters Sorrow pointed out in the above quote from ANH - it should have started with Obi Wan meeting Anakin as a young man, and gone from there. Then Anakin's descent could have been explained by his coming late to the training (as well as Obi Wan's admitted inexperience as a teacher).

And for mine the whole droid army stuff could have been left out of it. What self-respecting Jedi gets done by a droid?

Or some hilarious ones...like the green muppet they call Yoda getting totally slaughtered. Of course this would lead to some discontinutity with the earlier films but hey a great moment justifies itself

Sorry if I annoy SW fans, just that I find Yoda a very overrated and annoying character

[I, Brian]

Yoda the muppet was more interesting than Yoda the 2-D computer animation, though.

[Winters_Sorrow]

you can't go wrong with muppets

Imagine if the new Star Wars prequels had been filmed in the style of the Dark Crystal.
I'd loved to have seen Darth Muppet.....

[Chimeco]

heh. I still have the first dvd release of the dark crystal in the plastic wrapping. maybe it'll be worth something someday.
