Jimbo, you are seriously so confused.

This topic wouldn't have gone to hell if you hadn't brought your gay-bashing comments in it. Where does gay-bashing come in talking about Star Wars?

Oh, and then you have to whine about me launching a quote, "huge personal attack against me like that." Wow. See, unlike you, I can deal with homosexuals and I don't have to resort to bashing other members to fill my sad, pathetic life with some form of pleasure. No, Jimbo that would be you. Your view and respect of someone changes when you post something like you did. How can you expect anyone to take you seriously? Or for that matter, not to take offense to your post?

That's the end. Now die.

What the f*** is that supposed to mean?! You are a prick that noone likes Jimbo. I'm gonna try to get your ass banned for that.

And you don't even have the right to refer to her as "Nat."

Interpret this anyway you want, as it is just an analogy, but if 10 million people find the idea of eating feces to be absolutely disgusting, while one person thinks it's great, is that one person's opinion as valid as everyone else's?


Jimbo sure as hell has the right to feel however he wants...but the way he's backing up his argument is so stupid. All he cares about in Portman is her looks...that don't make a good actress in my eyes. And it doesn't make up for her horrible performance in both films (AOTC especially).

If I remember what Ir ead, you think the beginning of Jedi is slow? AOTC...let's see, we've got a ship blowing up and STILL it's boring, everyone sitting around again and again...boring. And of course, talking and talking before flying around and still talking. It's a blab-fest, and an un-entertaining one at that. The only scene that managed to not be a borefest in the movie was the end...but then it got boring again.

And of course, who could forget this:

Obi-Wans ghost was done wrong. The way he appeared and disappeared in The Empire Strikes Back was perfect. Here he walks around and talks to Luke like a guy off the street.


I thought it made him less creepy then he managed to be in Empire and more "human." His converation with Luke was one of my favorite scenes. If he'd been like in Empire, it would've just been odd. Do you write the laws of the spirits now?

A good movie doesn't have to have major characters die. The point of the saga as Lucas is making it now would be screwed up if someone died in ROTJ.

Jango's death was just as sucky, if not worse. How can you even say that about Boba and not about Jango? He gets off a couple shots and then he's dead. At least Boba's death was funny. Heck, Boba wasn't a major character in the OT until afterwards when he gained the fan following. And even Lucas has said that he doesn't consider him dead, or something to that effect. He was just tossed out of the battle.

The Executor: made perfect sense. Suicide ship crashes into the bridge and the ship gets screwed. I had no problem with this. Hell, look at how the At-Ats were taken down (and BOTH Death Stars for that matter). The destruction of all the major Imperial ships/vehicles/Death Stars were all kinda the same.

Well, where do I begin?

Don't diss Natalie Portman. She is as brilliant as she is gorgous. She can act with the best of them. She also really looks great.


That's right folks. That literally says, "...she is gorgous. She also looks really great."

Wow. Just, wow. Maybe you should find a real g/f. They're actually cooler because you don't look at them only through a tv screen. Just a thought.

Quote
Grevious will do most of the Jedi killing in the movie. We saw this in Clone Wars. While the scene contained no blood it did included some Jedi being wiped out in a quite shocking manner for a cartoon. I think the tone of Clone Wars will show up in Episode 3. I definutly believe we will see some shocking Jedi killing on screen. I will be quite dissipointed if we don't get such a thing. Samual Jackson stated that he will die and will go out with a bang.


George Lucas doesn't direct the Clone Wars cartoons. He doesn't have anything really to do with them. Huge difference between a cartoon and movie.

Quote
Attack of the Clones is the second darkest Star Wars movie. It includes the death of 200 Jedi and the beginning of a war that will plunge the galaxy into chaos.


Yes...the death of Jedi at the hands of cartoon-like robots and termites. That was really dark.

Quote
While Return of the Jedi ends with dancing around a fire and a time of peace and hope for the future.


Yes, it ends that way. They destroy the Emperor and Vader and pretty much free the galaxy. What would you have them do?

Quote
Return of the Jedi blew alot of opportunities to be dark. Harrison Ford begged for Han Solo to die but George wouldn't allow it. Lando was going to die but they changed there minds. Empire is overthrown by fucking teddy bears. It is not a dark movie at all.


Again, look at the scenes with the Emperor. Nothing in the prequels has been as dark as that gets, with Luke and Vader in an emotional battle and the Emperor overseeing it all and then going to kill Luke. I guess you don't see that.

And don't even trash the Ewoks when the enemies in the prequels are fucking stupid-looking robots that go, "Roger Roger!" and the heros are those stupid Gungans.

It makes perfect sense. It gets a progressily darker tone. The Phantom Menace is a time of peace. Before the Clone Wars before the Empire at a time when the galaxy was at peace. This is why it is as light hearted as it could have been. Attack of the Clones progresses to a time where the whole galaxy is at the brink of a massive war. The result is the movie has a much darker tone and is alot less of a kids movie. Its tone was much darker then Return of the Jedi and a bit darker then A New Hope. However The Empire Strikes Back is still the darkest and most adult of the series. Revenge of the Sith is the beginning of the empire and the slaughter of the Jedi Knights. This is the most dark time in the series and the movie is going to reflect.


Sigh, ROTS is not the slaughtering of the Jedi. They are not going to show the violent killing of the Jedi on-screen. Vader himself hunts down and kills them, and he only shows up for a little bit in the movie. So that part's happenning off-screen. And Attack Of The Clones was not dark...at all. Especially not darker than ROTJ. Whether you think so or not, Jedi had the darkest story arc involving the Emperor. There's no way Backstreet Boy killing some tusken raiders was darker than that.

Quote
Words from Natalie Portman "Its pretty sick" Is Natalie Portman a lier too now huh?


If by liar you mean sucky actress, then yes. Of course she's going to hype the movie. I'm sure she's done it for the last two and they weren't even good.

George Lucas himself stated he doesn't expect this movie get a PG rating.


Because he's always credible. I know this is going t shatter your hopes and dreams...but he LIES a lot.

Quote
You oviously don't understand that George Lucas made The Phantom Menace so damn light hearted because of the fact that he new Revenge of the Sith will be so dark.


You do realise that makes no sense don't you? But then again, Lucas has never made any sense in the way he makes movies.

No doubt Revenge of the Sith will rock. People often complain about cute characters like Jar Jar and ewoks and cheesy love dialog. None of that will be in Revenge of the Sith. It will be a much darker movie then The Empire Strikes Back which is currently the darkest. It will also be action packed. Want a great villian Grevious is that. Grevious rocked in Clone Wars and if he can be that cool in the movie (which he surely will) he will be the best villian ever. He is essentially a Star Wars Terminator. Seeing the rise of Vader will be something I have been wanting since I can remember. Seeing nice Anakin become such an evil phyco will be something to see. Also seeing a movie where the bad guys win and more then half of the character bite the dust will be something that will likely shock many kids. Personally I can't wait to see the Sith get theres.


First of all, the movie isn't even out yet. There's no proof it will "rock". And there is MUCH doubt. Once again, I don't know what universe you're living in, but there is no doubt that Jar Jar WILL BE IN THE MOVIE, so don't claim he won't to support your position. JAR JAR IS PRESENT. Let it be known. And I'm sure there will be cheesy love dialogue between Anakin and Padme. Just why in the hell wouldn't there be? This is the movie where they are split up by whatever's going to happen. There is no doubt going to be some major crap going on bewteen, so I'm sure there will be cheesy love dialogue. They sucked together in AOTC and I'm sure they'll suck here. If they don't, I'll be shocked.

Regarding "General Grevous" (oooh..scary), he won't be the best villain ever. How can you even say that? Vader is the best ever.

I'm pretty sure most of the killing of the Jedi happens off-screen. Lucas isn't going to catalogue the killing of the whole race in the movie. He's said again and again that he caters to his audience and they are going to be PG. Get PG-13 out of your head, he's not going to try and shock little kids like you think. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the first two, especially TPM so cutesy. Windu dies, Dooku dies, and possibly Padme dies. That's it. I'm pretty sure he's not going to show them all getting their heads cut off. The deaths in the film have all been handled so that they aren't that shocking. This will be no exception.

Trust me.

I'll still be seeing it online before you, Jimbo. But I'm sure you've already bought out the theater for the whole day The Incredibles opens up.

About that description... I don't know. I'd thought they would use the "Breathing" trailer like AOTC. Rehashing old footage is a thing I'd feared the most. I want all ROTS, not rehashed stuff.

I bet you is says "Buy The SW Trilogy On DVD Today!" at the end too. Blast it.
