Compilation Thread- EP3 thing that were...

Author
Time
made to invoke memories of the original trilogy.

1. Obvious: The shot on Tatooine of Owen looking out at the suns.

2. Grevious re-entering his ship to get to the escape pod. This one is a bit more obscure, and maybe it was just me, but that hatch looked virtually identical to the one that Lando used in the end of ESB.

3. Leia's Theme during the short time on Alderaan.

4. (Invoking TPM) Duel of the Fates during the Mustafar duel.

5. R2 started hooking into computers again.

I saw more, I know I did, but I cannot seem to think of them right now.

Theres a bit where a star destroyer goes over the camera like the opening shot of ANH but reversed.

The "Wilhelm" scream was used during the trip to the observation deck.

Holy shite-- I didn't even notice Obi Wan pick up Anakin's lightsaber... Guess I'll have to go see the movie again!

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

And, consider this, he then gives that lightsaber to Luke. . . who then carries around a lightsaber used to slaughter perhaps hundreds of children.

Could there have been any more hand (and other parts) chopping? It was like France in the 1700s during this movie.

The obvious throwback to the OT was the Tantive IV and Captain Antilles. My personal fave was Tarkin. I had no IDEA that a single shot of an actor with no lines or closeups could convince you about who he was and what he was doing just by his look and his posture. The guy should get an Oscar for Best Walk-On.

Other throwbacks in no particular order:
"S-foils" line in the opening battle
Yoda clutching his heart, sensing a great disturbance in the Force
The mere use of escape pods
And the throwback that should have been: A Jedi ghost

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird and completely random that Yoda and Chewbacca were friends before the Empire enslaved the wookies?

Also, I noticed that this episode tied in with the EU better than any of the others.

One more thing ... the Wookiee Tarzan yell. We now have actually had to hear that awful thing in both trilogies. *sigh*
