Originally posted by: sunday256Imagine if Luke discovers the burning homestead, John Williams music is swelling, the audience is being moved, we get the wonderful John Ford wideshot with the smoke billowing out....and then Luke drops to his knees and screams "NOOOooooo" before the scene irises out. Yeah. Thats the key difference between Star Wars and the PT. Analyse it for whatever factors you may find let to this type of stylistic difference but whatever they are, one of the films is touching and sweeping and the other is plagued with cheese and awkwardness that prevents it from truely being successful.
My only problem with the scene of Darth Vader screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! is that is not something Vader would do. Now had that been Anikan and not Vader standing there screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I would have had less of a problem with it. But when you add the suit, the mechanical voice, and the awkward limp you get Frankenstien and that is not something I imagined. Now take this for instance,
Back on Coruscant before Anikan leaves for Mustafar he goes to Padme's apartment like in the film, but instead of just telling her of the Jedi's betrayel he also confesses about his slaughtering of the Order and the younglings.
Anikan reaches out to her with his arm looking for acceptance and forgiveness for what he has done. He expects her to say " You did what was right by the law, and punishment for betrayel is death" but instead she recoils in disgust, exclaiming " What have you done! You are a Jedi, an upholder of peace not an executioner!"
Anikan then pleads: " Don't look at me like I am a monster. I am still your Ani."
Padem: "YOU ARE A MONSTER!!" "The man I married would never have done what you have done this night!" "Ani is dead to me and my husband along with him?
Suddenly something changes in Anikan's eyes. They glaze over and a fire errupts in them. A fire from the pits of hell itself. Anikan is no longer looking at Padme instead there is only rage and hate. Uncontrolible hatred. Padme attempts to turn and run and call for security. Anikan jumps her and slams her to the ground. He says in an unnaturally calm and loving voice " I am your little Ani don't you love me?"
Padme attempts to scream for security, but is unnable to speak for it seems an invisble hand has clasped itself about her throat. All she can muster is a faint sigh as air escapes her mouth. As Padme slips to unconciousness she mouths silently " come back to me". And all in her mind fades to blackness.
Realizing what he has just done, all the rage he was venting on Padme turns on himself and he lets out a scream to shake the universe itself. Glass explodes, computer panels burst to flame, tile cracks, the very foundation of the building shakes, the floors and walls begin to fly apart and all the wreckage begins to whirl about him and Padme creating a show of force power never witnessed by either Jedi or Sith. As quickly as it begins it stops. All the wreckage falls about himself and Padme.
He slumps and leans over Padme and kisses her on the lips. " I am sorry, I have failed you."
Standing, he turns and heads for his starfighter. With one last look he turns looks at the lifeless body of his beloved wife and a stray tear escapes his eye. " Goodbye, my love."
Then after all this Obi-wan finds Padme's body, and fleas Coruscant on the Tantive IV with Bail Organa and Yoda. While on the Tantive IV, the babies are removed from Padme by C-Section, and she would regain consciousness long enough for Obi-Wan to ask one question
"Where has Anikan gone? I must stop him."
She replies weakly "The Mustafar system." "Please Obi-Wan, save him." And then she would die.
I can expand this if anyone wants me to, becasue I have a lot more but didn't want to make this post too long.

I wish I would have had that shot a few years ago when I started it. I had to make the text off of the Richard Edlund pic. Serious headache.

Something interesting I found on StarWars.com's new analysis feature of Star Wars, is that originally the Star Wars title card and the actual crawl were together like the Episode title and the crawl are now. And that the Star Wars tittle came up from the bottom of the screen just like the rest of the crawl. That would have looked different.

"At one point, George Lucas briefly toyed with the notion that the story of Star Wars should be introduced by a family of Wookiees. In this version the film opens with a father Wookiee telling his son about "Uncle Chewbacca." The father then produced a leather-bound journal revealed to be Chewbacca's diary. Evidently Chewbacca left the book for his nephew shortly before his death. After the father Wookiee reads the journal to his son, the film begins and the audience is transported to the opening scene we're now familiar with."
That would have been different.

P.S. If you don't mind, I would suggest uploading your clips to megaupload. It is free , and you can upload any size file. I suggest this ,because a lot of people have trouble with rapidshare.

Don't worry AWE is nothing like the fiasco that was The Matrix Revolutions.
And about which film I consider to be worse ROTS or The Matrix Revolutions, both. They were both letdowns.
