Star Wars - Poorly Directed?
Time

Well, they showed three people screen testing total. They had to have tested more people than that, or should have. Jake was the best of those three, but that's not saying much. They could easily have found a better actor for the role.

Weren't those three the finalists?  I seem to remember the casting director talking about all the kids they interviewed and tested before narrowing it down to those three.  I'm sure they could have found someone better, but the dialogue has to be blamed just as much.  What can you do with a line like "oops?" (as TheBoost said)

There is a deleted scene where Yoda, Mace and Obi are talking about taking control and putting Palpatine under arrest or something like that.

There is a similar scene in the main movie where Mace is at a briefing holo-table with Yoda and a couple others in holo-form.  Anakin has just left to inform Palpatine that Grievous is destroyed.  The Jedi discuss how Palpatine needs to step down now, and they may have to remove him if he will not do it himself.

New forum look
Time

So the forum look has been updated again, and am I alone in thinking it's a step back?

The big issue for me is ease of navigation.  You should be able to glance at things and very quickly tell what state they are in.  For instance, users who were online used to have a lightbulb next to their name - very easy to tell right away who is online and who isn't.  Now it either says "user is online" or "user is offline."  Yes, it's easy to read, but at a quick glance, not so obvious, since the two phrases are so similar.  I have the same feelings about the disappearance of the new post icon and sticky icon - a lot more reading is required now to see what is new and what isn't.

A link to *all* new posts since last visit, regardless of forum, would render a lot of this moot for me.

Thoughts?

They are aware of Anakin's attraction to Padme.

When? Not even Obi Wan has any knowledge of it until it has happened. The odd glance or comment here and there doesn't explicitly state anything.

There is a deleted scene in EP 2 between Mace and Obi Wan where Obi Wan talks of Anakin's "connection" to Padme and how he is distracted by her.  Yes, it wasn't in the movie proper, but the fact that Lucas filmed a scene like that indicates that he was at least thinking about it a little.  Perhaps he cut it for that reason.  At any rate, several faneditors have used that scene to replace the similar one between Mace, Obi, and Yoda, and using the deleted scene does make the Jedi seem a little more to blame.

A bigger issue for me is the EP 3 scene between Anakin and Yoda, where Anakin goes to Yoda for advice.  Anakin basically comes out and tells Yoda he's in love with *someone*, and Yoda's advice is to forget about her.  At that point, shouldn't they be keeping a closer eye on him?

It's just a comment copied from post #6 of this thread.

I'm starting to get suspicious about this account - it has the hallmarks of a Russian spambot, but hasn't actually tried promoting anything (yet).

Based on some of the other posts, I thought maybe it was a Fortune Cookie Message Generator gone bad.  For instance:

Hey all.

I just finished downloading this edit through the .dlc file here using JDownloader. However, I cannot get the .rar file to extract because it prompts be for a password that I do not know. 

It should be mentioned that JDownloader can be configured to do the extraction automatically, which saves you from entering the password.  Some people have reported occasional failures with burning after a JDownloader extraction, however...

I really cannot give a shit at this moment sabout baseball since the red sox or is that red sux blew it again, and so did the new england patriots in football.  Sucks to be a Massachusetts or New England sports fan at the moment.

You're not going to get any sympathy from a Chicago fan.  It's been really tough for you lately...

 

Pats - Champions in 2001, 2003, 2004, plus runner-up in 2007 and 1996

Bears - since 1985 (ok, blowout of Pats, but still...) exactly one Super Bowl appearance, and a loss at that

 

Red Sox - World Series Champs 2004 and 2007

Cubs - World Series Champs in 1907 and 1908!  Last World Series 1945!

(and I don't want to hear about the White Sox - you can't be a Cubs and Sox fan, and I hate the White Sox almost as much as I hate hearing complaints about how "rough" it has been for New England/Boston fans lately)

 

Celtics - won title in 2007-2008 season

Bulls - ok, won 6 titles in 8 years in the 90's.  But sqaut since.  Couldn't even beat the run-down Garnett-less Celts in the playoffs last year.

 

Hockey - never mind.  Neither team has done anything in decades.

 

Sorry, but New England fans complaining about the Red Sox or Pats really sticks in my craw.

Oh yes, the dealer at the nightclub. He has such a great name: Elan Sleazzbagganno.

Not making that up.

I can confirm that.  I discovered that awful fact when I first started working on EP 2 cutlists.  The "anno" at the end makes him sound kind of alien-y, I guess.  I read a review of AOTC somewhere that accused Lucas of letting his kids name the aliens, based on Dexter Jetser or whatever the hell his name was.
