What Didn't You Like About ROTS?
Time

The scene where Obi-wan just takes the lightsaber and leaves Anakin on the shore is particularly stupid. It’s one of many stupid scenes of course, but it stands out as being a case of the ‘whatever just get to the Vader suit’ mentality. The whole thing is written this way.

Random story - I walked out of the theatre with my brother after seeing Tom Cruise’s War of the Worlds. His reaction was ‘well it was still better than ROTS’.

Did you notice that each major character got the death they deserved?

This is to all the people who say R1 is just nostalgia-exploitation and “ayteeaytees”.

You mean they deserved to die? I don’t follow you. Characters that actually feel alive and then die in emotional and truly dramatic ways would have been better. To me they were stock archetypes who weren’t developed and then just got killed off to avoid sequel inconsistencies.

people here do not know jack shit about business…this is not even close to a legal monopoly. They wont own a majority share of the market because universal and warners along with others wont let them.

they will never buy DC comics or warner bros or universal or even the inevitable newcomers

Woah calm down there Bob

You become Lucas' advisor post-1999

What was Jar Jar’s character though? That he stepped in the poopie? What was Qui-Gon’s? He was a cheater and made terrible choices? They’re written as flat, simplistic stereotypes without any further development. You could leave them both on the cutting room floor without impacting the plot. Fabulous what now? There’s only so much you can discuss without sounding like a joke account.

Anakin appears as himself as he should have been by that point in his life. His redemption carries through to the Force-afterlife. When he was redeemed and lay dying in Luke’s arms, he was Anakin again, and Vader was no more.

In way, Vader is the mask itself. Once it came off, he was human again. So Shaw’s face is integral to the scene and the ending.
