"And, as you should have noticed, I was making a comparison. What the fuck is wrong with that? I praise Kubrick for making nearly every element of 2001 ambiguous. That is the sign of a master filmmaker. I posed my libne about Kubrick as a question to you, of how you feel about him, not as a statement of my own personal feelings. What on earth gave you the idea that I have anything against Kubrick?"

You really, really need to work on your reading comprehension. Your comparison was based on two completely different films. 2001 was supposed to be ambiguous - the aliens are completely unlike us, with motivations that may have little or no semblance to human motivations, whereas SW is a fantasy drama, with human emotions and character interactions that could take place in this galaxy, current day. The fact that it shares so many scenes and scenarios with "Hidden Fortress" isn't a coincidence.

Not to mention the fact that I've never heard Kurbrick make the same claim as Lucas, so again, your comparison is sorely lacking.

"I think you were a little too quick to jump to conclusions there, buddy."

Says the guys who asked me if Kubrick failed. It's a poor question, because how you framed your question is faulty. Whatever "fault" you think I committed is but a fraction of yours.

"Dooku ordered the clones....as Syfo Dyas....Listen the the SIth commentary...Lucas says so himself!!"

The novelization says otherwise.

"Oh. Just cause of that, you don't understand the movie?!? It's really hard to believe, especially from the one who tells he has understood 2001..."

Talk about poor conclusions. Point out to me where I said I didn't understand the film. It is Adam who said the novelization helped him understand the film, so your mischaracterization applies to him, not I. As I clearly stated, "I, like Lucas, have dropped it as unimportant." Perhaps your monitor is set at too high a resolution to read that?

"its a lame redherring which utlilizes a character we've never seen or heard of before, and is so vague that there isn't even agreement within Lucas' own people whether it was Dooku or sidious who ordered the clones."

Thank you.

"the LOA explanation is lame and doesn;'t make a lick of sense under scrutiny. It presupposes that sifodyas with good intentions and no cohersing ordered the clones, to be used for good. so what was sidious' grand plan then? if this random event had not happened how would he have formed the empire and wiped out the jedi? the entire galactic war erupts because of a random jedi we never saw who died before TPM? thats lame
and contrary to what was the plan up until LOA was published."

Thank you again. [Han] "That's two you owe me" [/Han]

"she's just one of many weird looking extras in the film."

But she was also supposed to be used in AOTC, hence the cameo. More dropped concepts.
