What I find ironic is that the star wars saga has enough potential to be made into 3-hour installments (like LOTR), but since GL is a cut-happy guy who wants to make sure the movies are short enough for people to get in and out of the theater and earn him more money he's going to sum up 4 hours of story into a 2 hour movie. So, dont count on learning anything more about the Count!

Here's what GL has to cover in Ep3.

1. Anakin's cross-over to the darkside
2. Anakin's seperation from obi-wan
3. Anakin's married-life with Padme
4. Padme's pregnancy
5. The twins
6. The Darth Sidious/Palpatine connection
7. Slaughter of the Jedi
8. Palpatine's dictatorship over the republic
9. Boba Fett
10. Mace Windu and his death
11. The Sifo-Dyas storyline
12. Anakin's transformation into Vader
13. Padme's death
14. Tidbits with Grand Moff Tarkin, and cameos from other future characters
15. Yoda's exile to Dagabah and Obi-wan's exile to Tatooine
16. Mindless action scenes and saber duels
17. Military might of the empire
18. Jar Jar Binks
19. Organa
20. And Count Dooku's death

As you can see there isn't enough room to explain everything. If only Lucas wasn't so tight about running time.

I find your immature-maturity disturbing. You still are a kid, so shut the hell up.

Oh God. Listen to the commentary. He was very clear about all the original trilogy stormtroopers being clones. You oviously have never heard the commentary or you wouldn't have typed that.

Or maybe its because I havent listened to the commentary for a long time, unlike you, my sad little friend.

Han wakes up in Return of the Jedi with different clothes then when he went into carbonite

In all movies you hear big sounds in space battles. There is no sound in space

In the Special Edition how does Greedo miss a shot at point blank range and why doesn't it make a mark on the wall

Obi wans lightsaber loses color in a couple shots (this will be fixed on the DVD)

Why don't many of the cantina aliens move there mouths

Those aren't plot holes. Plot holes are mistakes in the story that completely change the whole movie. That's why they're called "plot holes" because the plot falls into a hole.

Believe me when I say it sucks doggy dick!

One of the corniest installments of the series, and the movie is irritatingly overwhelmed by too many nods to the rest of the movies, including the plot which is just a remake of Diamonds are Forever. And if you thought the other movies were farfetched, well this one features gene therapy,an electric suit, and disappearing cars!

None of those are plot holes. There are some plot holes in Star Wars. As there are in all movies.

One the actress who plays Beru in Attack of the Clones has brown eyes the actress who plays were in A New Hope has blue eyes.

In A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, the Clone Wars cartoons, and Attack of the Clones the clones are shown as very efficient warriors but in Return of the Jedi they can't kill more then a few ewoks.

Why would the Empire build another Death Star after how easily the last was destroyed.

Padme tells a clone after she falls out of the ship "we got to get to that hanger" how did she know about the hanger

In the Clone Wars cartoons Mace wipes out droids without his lightsaber he couldn't fight this well in Attack of the Clones

In The Phantom Menace when Darth Maul appears in front of them why doesn't Padme order her men to fire. Even he could not block that many shots. Instead the Jedi handle it resulting in Qui-Gons death

In The Phantom Menace when the Jedi coucil arrives on Naboo a bald black man comes out who is suppose to be Mace Windu but is clearly not Samual L Jackson.

In Attack of the Clones Padme gets scratched across the back rips off her entire midriff and sleeve. No way that scratch could do this. It did give excellent visual benefit.

1. Maybe she got contact lenses because her sight isn't as good as it used to be. Why the hell would you even notice her eye color anyway?
2. How do you know they're clones? Are all storm troopers clones?
3. Maybe it was going to be a better Death Star. After all the first one didn't have a shield generator to keep enemy space ships away, and the second one had the main source on the inside rather than on the side.
4. Maybe she saw the hangar right before she fell out of the ship. I think you can see a long way when you're aboard an aircraft, right? And where did they think Dooku was going? To camp out in the rocks somewhere?
5. I dont watch cartoons, sorry.
6. Because only jedi can handle other jedi/sith knights.
7. I guess GL didn't mean for people to zoom in on the bald black guy with their dvd player. It was obviously a stand in since Jackson wasn't available. That happens in movies sometimes.
8. Of course it could happen.

Coz Vader does'nt ever want to go back to Tatooine after his mother dying and all that shit!!! (Where better to hide someone that doesn't want to be found, than a place where the person looking will never go to)...Make sense...no

After 20 years they look the same to me.

This is a huge plot hole, there is no explanation to it. The only explanation is that Lucas needed a way to bring all the characters together without wasting story and budget by having the characters drive across the galaxy just to pick up C-3PO. You can go on about your damn memory swipe theory, but I'm going to be laughing in your face when Lucas doesn't even aknowledge this in Ep3.

What are some major plot holes in Star Wars.

I'll go ahead and mention the one that drives me crazy the most.

Why is it that C-3PO is made on Tatooine but doesn't know where he is in ANH? And how come Uncle Owen doesnt recognize C-3PO or R2-D2 when the Jawas sell them to him? Didn't he and his family take care of C-3PO for 10 years and meet R2-D2 in AOTC? Sure many droids look alike but surely they dont all have the same names, and surely they can recognize their former owners when they see them, just like C-3PO remembered the "Maker".

Oh yeah, and why doesnt Vader look for Obi-wan and his son on Tatooine or on the Lar's farm before/or during ANH?

I think Anakin is going to kill Count Dooku in Ep3 as a test to complete his tranformation to the dark side. Just like how Palpatine wanted Luke to kill his own father and turn to the darkside.

I really did like Count Dooku in AOTC, but I hated that lightsaber duel with Yoda. That was just stupid! The choreography doesnt even make any sense when Yoda is jumping around like a monkey and Count Dooku is just swinging his saber over his head like he's fighting an imaginary character. There's one instance that makes me cringe, and that's when Yoda jumps on a rock behind and above count dooku's head. Why didn't Yoda just cut his head off while he was up there instead of jumping around? Poor work on behalf of the animators.

Sean Conery is the best bond. And Moore is 2nd and Peirce is 3rd. Was it realy nessasary to cut off Felix Leiter's legs? To me License To Kill was just too dark.

Edit: Is that better Montcalm?

That may be your opinion, but I think Licence To Kill ranks up there as one of the best Bond flicks. And I think Dalton was the best Bond. Dalton had the cold edge that the literary James Bond had. That was the way Bond was supposed to be. Sean Connery only mildly pulled it off. Connery had the edge but his movies were too borderline-corny. Dalton's movies hit the mark right on the nose. Even though he only did 2 movies in the franchise, they are still 2 of the most darkest of the series. I used to enjoy the corny bond flicks with the super villains trying to take over the world with an army of uniformed henchmen and a plot too farfetched to be real, but I'm tired of corny and would rather see more dark Bond. Roger Moore was too comical, but he had the charm. And I like watching a Moore movie when I get tired of edge. His movies give me a good laugh, and they also had the best gadgets and super villains. Lazenby certainly wasn't the worst Bond but he wasn't cut out that much either. His one installment in the series tends to be one of the best among fans. Pierce Brosnan suffers mostly because of the ridiculus movies he's in. Now that the producers have run out of Fleming material they cant figure out how to make a good Bond movie.

My favorite Bond movies are 1. The Man With the Golden Gun (because of Christopher Lee, the plot, and because it was the first Bond movie I saw. 2. Goldfinger (for obvious reasons). 3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (for its uniqueness), and 4. Licence To Kill (for its edge)

Much like how GL told Tartakofsky (sp?) that they needed to include his character Asajj Ventress in the animated Clone Wars series. The CL creators did not create Asajj, they just introduced her.

But they had Bobba Fett all planned by 1978?

Boba Fett was planned out by 1977. He was supposed to be in ANH, but the footage was cut. Remember the 'Irish Jabba'?

The footage was later restored and modified for the SE release.

Starkiller I hope that was a joke because Boba Fett wasn't added till the special edition re-release. That's why he looks at the screen, as a nod to fans.
