STAR WARS - REVENGE OF THE SITH (GOD DAMN!!!)

[TheDarceKnight]

All dem prequels were fulla struggle.

Yep. Sith was the most watchable (the only watchable), but it still struggled from lots of wooden dialogue and emotionless lightsaber battles. That end lightsaber battles was so over choreographed. Ugh. the CGI was better in this one and I guess the PG-13 let it be a little darker. I think the biggest problem that Lucas may have is that he has a really hard time writing emotion for his characters without forcing them to say exactly what they're feeling ("NOOOOOO!!!!" "You're breaking my heart, Anakin!"

I don't know if Lucas either can't write more nuanced dialogue, or if he just doesn't think that the audience will be able to follow? Regardless, his need to write like that is what kills me the most about the prequels. Even if you're writing to kids, it's not necessary. Kids are smart.

People were talking back to Vader because they stopped believing in the force, the Jedi kind of became urban legend at that point.

Vader was weakened because Obi-Wan chopped off all of his limbs, that's why as soon as the Emperor finds out about Luke he's like and why the twins had to be hidden.

great points

I loved the fact anakin had to call Windu....master all throughout movies two and three.

But then that damn anakin had to pull some Nat Turner shyt on his master....

nikkas need Dialogue writers like closers in baseball. Write your script and pay Kevin Smith to polish the talking.

I'm not sure what alternative you wanted

The prequels to not exist haha

 

[|r|e|a|d|]

I like to watch Sith then New hope right after the two work well together in sequence

 

[Won Won]

great points

The first point isn't great though, because of what Lucas showed in the PT, THERE IS NO WAY Jedi and the force would be seen as myth or urban legend

 

[Black Magisterialness]

didn't even think of the limb thing effecting his power


you would think the emperor would make him 2nd in charge regardless.. "thinking" they were the last two in the universe with the force and he knew darth's power and legend


but if he thought he was weak too, he might have handed out that demotion

If the force is like chi then having less living parts of your body would make you substantially weaker in the force. Unless you become a Force God like Luke.

Revenge of the Sith is better than the other two prequels in every single solitary way. And MAN that last crip vs crip lightsaber battle


Man...Star Wars is just like Metal Gear...The story of one man and his legacy. The Skywalker Legacy and The Sons of Big Boss

Like..it was over-acted and perhaps the dialogue could have been better, but we'd been waiting for it so long that it didn't matter. It was just such a moment finally captured on film that it superseded any shortcomings.

this right here!!

We're talking 20 goddamn years though. Does your memory fade of Michael Jordan and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx? 100 years might be believable, but not when people are still alive and would have witnessed it.

shyt, they even put the Jedi Council building in Coruscant scenes at the end of ROTJ for the Blu Ray release

I know . I know breh... Lucas should have set it back 30 or 40 years...

Like I said people still knew of them so wiping them out while fukked up. People like han was like its mumbo jumbo bullshyt. He didn't believe in it. Even that dude that Vader had Choked was like it was bullshyt. Maybe there was so many people who just didn't believe in them.

nah lucas phucked up. the jedi were way too prevalent in the PT for them to be completely forgotten by the time of the OT. it would be different if they were portrayed as like an elusive secret society but these guys were front and center and even had their own headquarters in capitol city. these guys were the face of the WAR.

in the PT everyone knew who the jedi were. in TPM when qui gon and obi wan arrived on the trade federation ship they knew they were jedi. even anakin, a slave out in the sticks, knew about the jedi and their laser swords. there's no way they would be reduced to just an urban legend a mere 20 years later.

Assuming Anakin turned evil as a grown man, setting the prequels back 40 years means he's 60 years old in Episode IV, making him almost as old as Obi-Wan. Luke is supposed to be like 18 in Star Wars...

I'm telling y'all - this 'ancient religion' shyt, IF a flaw, is one of Star Wars. Not the prequels. Y'all are taking a few insults by IMPERIAL COMMANDERS and a SMUGGLER way too serious. It is true that there are people that don't believe in the force...But 20.000 Jedi in a universe of trillions nand them not having been around for 20 years, I think that's plausible.

Also, the Jedi were established as Generals of the Clone Wars....BY STAR WARS EPISODE IV. Not the prequels, Leia literally says "General Kenobi, you served with my father in the Clone Wars". So complaining about the Jedi being at the forefront of the Clone Wars...Your beef would be with Star Wars, not the prequels.

i was more inclined to believe that the jedi were more like a secret service.

in ANH it appears that the general public is only vaguely aware of the jedi. sure the rebellion believe in the jedi and believe in the force, but the average joe might not.

but if the prequels are canon, there's no way NOT to acknowledge them. everyone knew about the jedi in those movies.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

They were Generals of the Clone Wars, established by Leia

Tarkin calls Jedi-hood an ancient religion but we know for a fact that Obi-Wan is still around, and that Vader was once a Jedi. Tarkin also knows this.

He was just insulting the Jedi to me. As for that cac and Han not believing in Jedi powers, that seems plausible as the average citizen probably never even saw the Jedi. And when we actually saw the Jedi in public they never openly flaunted their powers.

I take Episode II as an example again, none of those people had reason to believe Obi-Wan/Anakin had powers - they were just like cops.
