Darth Maul was Ray Park! I don't even need IMDB for that one, because he was also Toad in X-Men.

-edit-
Never mind. After checking IMDB, it turns out that Ray Park was just the body and Peter Serafinowicz provided the voice.

Heh, that's funny. That's what my friend said when he first saw that scene.

Of course, with no indication from Lucas, it *could* only have meant that Palps just really admired Plagueous' apprentice for what he did. It is just a matter of interpretaion though.

I never thought of it that way... That could clear up a few debates. If Palpatine didn't know how to create life, then that makes the argument of Palpatine creating Anakin completely bunk.

I've wondered if Lucas knew they were brother/sister all along. And if so, WHY would he have them kiss? That's a little curious, don't you think?

Well, Yoda says the line "No... there is another", so that means he must have at least had the idea. Maybe he had them kiss so people would be more surprised when they found out or something?

If you watch the scene again, check out Palpatine's face when he's telling the story and the way he says the lines.

I didn't catch it the first time either, but if you pay attention you can see the way Ian McDiarmid and Lucas meant for it to be taken.

You guys are forgetting Maul. The OT is awesome, but without the PT, we'd never have gotten Maul.

-edit-
Oh yeah, Watto was played by Andrew Secombe. (Heh... IMDB)

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. </sarcasm>

I don't care if he liked or disliked the movie, I was just looking forward to actually reading his reasons for disliking the movie, and not why he doesn't like GL. I've heard the same rant about 100 times. I was thinking maybe he would bring up some new points about Episode 3 and talk about something we hadn't talked about, but instead it's not even about Episode 3.

Qui-gon was his master, but Yoda taught all the younglings.

Yeah, but that was one of the things the fans complained about a lot back when it came out.

I just watched this weeks Best Week Ever on VH1. It had a whole segment about Star Wars, and it was pretty funny. I didn't record it though, and I don't know when or if it'll be replayed.

It was so quick, subtle and well executed that every person who has been shown it, on first viewing, asks me what was changed. Even his lips synch up.
It's not until a little more thought is put in that they go "Wait... Oh!"

Was it the line about Yoda being his instructor, but then in Episode 1 it's Qui-Gon?

I need to somehow work my way into Lucasfilm and become a close friend to GL, so that when he dies, he'll pass it all on to me. Man... that would be so awesome.

The first time I saw Episode 1, I liked it. Of course, I was 8 at the time... But yeah, I actually thought it was good. So it was more like the reverse order of what you said.

Episode 2 I thought was dumb the first time I saw it, and I still haven't changed my mind about it... For me, Stage five never happened for Episode 2.

Episode 3 I've seen 3 times now, and I have really liked it each time. The bad things weren't as bad this time around, and they were mostly over shadowed by all the cool things going on.

Indeed. Though, I dislike Jabba being in ANH more than Boba Fett... If he found some other way to work him in, I probably wouldn't of cared.

But then again, I'm a Boba Fett fanboy. The thing that pissed me off about Episode 2 was that he changed his background story and made him into a moronic little kid with really annoying lines.

I don't see what changing Grievous to Maul would've done... I mean, if Maul hadn't been in TPM, then it would've been cool to see him as a new character in RotS... but it would've been dumb to bring him back to life or something after TPM. It would've been even cornier than Grievous, and fans would just complain about Lucas putting Maul in because he's so popular, like what he did with Boba Fett in AotC.

Whoa, that would be so cool! The battles would be twice as good.

So what if the acting is a little lame or weak, NEWS FLASH....the acting has been weak in all the movies. Lucas uses little known actors save one or two. These actors have little experiance taking on leading roles. What makes these movies great is that despite the acting, the action makes up for it. In my opinion, it wouldn't be Star Wars with out the bad dialogue, or acting.

Ewan McGregor had the lead roll in Trainspotting, and that movie was amazing. His acting was fantastic. And Samuel L. Jackson is one of my favorite actors, yet for some reason, he doesn't do a great job in the PT...

Um... Sorry for the double post. I clicked edit, but it posted a new message for some reason.

The scene would have to be reshot to do that. There's no way it would work...

But as Hardcore Legend said, Darth Vader probably won't be in MagnoliaFan's edit.

I don't like bringing politics into things like this either, but it was just a question. I've read several articles saying it's against Bush, but I didn't notice anything... Just wondering what people thought about that and how exactly it was against Bush, that's all.

I've been reading some news paper articles and watching some shows on TV that are saying RotS is very anti-Bush.

I don't care if it is, since I'm not Republican or Democrat, but I just didn't notice it... Could somebody point out how RotS is anti-Bush? I didn't notice anything that related to that or referenced that... So, I dunno. Maybe it's just the media turning it into something it's not?
