Ah. Here is one.

How does Luke know that Han and Leia are on Bespin? All he sees in his vision is them suffering, and when the story was written, Cloud city had no windows.

Come on. He is good for a laugh. And truthfully I've never even seen the non SE version of the OT.

It isn't like *everyone* here hates the SE.

Jimbo. The Empire was a threat to the rebellion in RotJ. The entire rebel command fleet was in one place and couldn't leave because of Stardestroyers. And a Death Star was right there picking the rebel ships of one at a time. And If the second deathstar was finished, I'm sure they would have compensated for the weakness exploited in the first movie... Like maybe a curved exhaust shaft.

Hey. I just thought of something. Is Jimbo for real, or is he trying to be funny?.. you know. Demonstraiting absurdity by being absurd.

Yeah. That's right. Speaking of Mandalorians, there is a Mandalorinan in Knights of the Old Republic who knew Mandalore personally.

Go buy KoToR now.

How about I point out some of AotC's flaws?

1. The dialogue in the Ani/Padme romance is freaking awful.
2. The actors collectively give bad performances even though they aren't bad actors
3. Natalie Portman's monotone speach is only slightly less annoying/ then it was in TMP but thankfully less frequent
4. Why am I numbering them?
5. CG is used in nearly every shot, including many in which it isn't needed.
6. The CG army at the end looks incredibly fake.
7. Nearly every one liner is painfully unfunny
8. Haden Christiansen is topless in bed and screaming in a bad acting mode *cringes*
9. Jar Jar Binks isn't as funny as he was in TMP, and that says a lot.

Over all I really enjoyed Attack of the Clones but... this crap is hard to ignore.

No. What we have is extreme stupidity. A plot hole is something that can't happen because another facet of the story makes it impossible or a character knows something they can't possibly know. Nothing says Palpatine can't build a second Death Star; he (or Lucas) just isn't that bright.

But this logic seems to have been abandon in the PT.

Heavy? A lightsaber blade is freaking made of energy! It has no mass. It has no weight. A small child could swing a Lightsaber

(0r, where did Boba get his fancy suit?)

It doesn't. People do plenty of things that don't make sense and history is full of repeated mistakes.

If you insist on making an idiot of yourself go right a head. I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Let's get back to

George Lucas's definiteve vision *chuckles* of RETURN OF THE JEDI.

BTW. I know plenty of curses and swears Jimbo. It's more of a test of maturity if you can argue without using them. You failed.

But twenty-seven one-man-fighters got blown to peices trying to get there. And he only sucseeded because he was strong in the Force and because Solo intervened.

Also, It isn't like the first Death Star was destroyed easily. The Rebels sent out 30 ships to attack the station and three plus the Falcon returned. Luke, Wedge, and one Y-wing.

Jimbo. Why do you continue to make people think that 16-year-olds are idiots?

Aside from Padme mysteriously knowing about the hangar, I really can't think of any plot holes. And I don't think all the Stormtroopers are clones. If their age was accellerated they would be too old by the time of the OT. And Obi-wan does know Luke before ANH. Remember he addresses Luke by name after Luke gets up in the Wastes of Junland.

Yes. My second go'round (rodeo jargon. dern garth brooks songs) took me 21 hours.

Now. What did you all think of *the plot twist*
That's got to be the "Luke-I am your father" of the videogame generation.

1.Actually, I heard the PC version had some technical glitches from a reliable source <www.gamespot.com>

2.There is no way it will take you multiple 24 hour sessions. I completed the game first-time-through without a walkthrough in app. 27 hours.

3.Manaan, the water world can be pretty monotonous, especially if you get yourself involved in Sunry's trial, but the rest of the game isn't.

4.No comment. My crappy excuse for a PC will never see KoToR. Another Bioware game (Neverwinter Nights) is what I am playing now.

The Empire didn't surrender. The EU deals with the rest of the crap that happened after RotJ. But the death of Palpatine and Vader was a devastating blow to the Empire. And if you want to get technical, the trilogy ended after RotJ because a trilogy can't have four movies.

About the Ewoks... I find them sort of annoying... but they are fighters. They carry spears and hunt prey.

Also, the clones have had their age accelerated, so the Storm Troopers on Endor may have "old" worn-out bodies. Just a thought.
And Boba Fett doesn't die... he escapes the Sarlaac pit. I don't like his sissyfied scream, though.

I constantly here RotJ described as a "weak" movie on these boards, but I have never understood why it was so hated. It used to be my favorite. Of couse now that I am... older... I have seen the light and realized ESB is the best.

And my scores for the Movies:

ESB: 9.3
ANH: 9.0
RotJ: 8.9
AotC: 8.5
TMP: 8.1

UHG... I can't belive I used to think Han stepping on his tail was hilarious....

The Jabba scene is pointless. Just remove it.
