- Stupid battle droid humor and voices.
- Palpatine cheering during the Dooku duel.
Oh yeah those were real bad. I was not quite as young as you but still in my youth, and I didn’t get why there were so many attempts at childish and slapstick humour in the film that was supposed to see the demise of the jedi and the fall of Anakin Skywaltzer
“Skywaltzer” ha I’ll have to remember that one. Yeah the humor was poor and stood out to me in large part because the droids were so much different in ROTS than in the previous two films. Weird that not only was there droid slapstick in the dark ROTS but it was only in that and not TPM and AOTC.
- Palpatine transforms into wrinkly face rather than slowly aging into it.
This was important to me though because I am not capable of comprehending the fact that people age over time. If he hadn’t have turned into a wrinkly old man in ROTS I would’ve sat there perplexed staring at the screen thinking, “why does he look older in Return of the Jedi than in this movie?”
I had always assumed as a kid that the Emperor was just super old in ROTJ. Palpatine’s appearance in AOTC looks like it’s actually working towards Emperor. Then he de-ages in ROTS? I could buy Palpatine turning wrinkly face as if it was his true visage but the film makes it sort of unclear why and implies that the force lightning use caused it. Anyway the big issue is that the make up doesn’t match AT ALL.
