They never actually act like friends. Instead Anakin goes on about saving Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan denies it. They have the absolute worst on-screen chemistry of all time. ANH at least makes it seem like Vader and Obi-Wan really were good friends but the PT fails at actually showing it. It doesn’t help that the lightsaber fight is so long that it gets boring and many of the camera angles are too close to even see what’s going on in the over-choreographed battle. The climax of ROTS fails in many respects, there’s no point in even arguing that it’s good. I suggest looking up “Plinkett” on google Scott.
In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin says he saved Obi-Wan’s life ten times. Obi-Wan says it was only nine times and that the instance on Cato Neimoidia did not count. That is not the same thing as Obi-Wan denying that Anakin saved his life multiple times.
Over-choreographed? How is that possible? I actually prefer the lightsaber duels in the prequels to the lightsaber duels in the original trilogy. At least in the prequels the characters actually look like trained warriors and not like little boys playing with toy swords. The only lightsaber duel in the original trilogy that even had any real choreography was the duel on Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back.
I find it extremely irritating when characters constantly pause in the middle of sword fights in order to speak. When characters focus more on speaking than on actually fighting, the duel becomes unrealistic. Anyone in a life-or-death duel who focuses more on speaking than on fighting frankly deserves to die.
Plinkett is not intelligent enough to review any film. He seems not to understand irony, sarcasm, or comic relief. For example, he criticized Obi-Wan’s tongue-in-cheek line “Another happy landing” in Revenge of the Sith because it was not a happy landing. No kidding. That was the entire point of the line. Anybody who is not intelligent enough to understand irony is not intelligent enough to review a film.
