DocCovington first of all Natalie Portman is insanely sexy. She beyond belief gorgous. Not just pretty. Beautiful. I dream of her all the time. The action bored you. You must have no addrenaline. It had everything a Star Wars action sequence can have. Clones, droids, tanks, spaceships, jedi, monsters, sith, lasers, lightsabers, and a hottie fighting at once. Its a stratagy of throwing everything at the audience that worked so well. Attack of the Clones borrows elements from Shackspeare, fall of Rome, and a little Tolkein. It weaves them together in a way that works so well. It had the same well done story and dark feel that I loved about The Empire Strikes Back but adds a level of excitement and technical marvel that beats it all. Attack of the Clones is the best of the best.

True the empire did recrut non clone troops but not Stormtroopers. There clones. They have no fear of dying and never even remotly disobey an order to the point where they seem inhuman.

Attack of the Clones is a masterpeice. Only a child can like Return of the Jedi more. Return of the Jedi was more a kids movie then any of the Star Wars movies. Attack of the Clones was so well done. I can't pinpoint anything about it that I don't like. Integration of action and story was done in a way few movies can match. Natalie Portman nuff said. The most exciting war sequence ever. Attack of the Clones has no equal or better. As for The Phantom Menace it has a lot of kiddy aspects, too much Jar Jar screen time, and too little Darth Maul screen time but a lot of things were done right. It had some great action, effects, and it set up the saga and the coming threat in a good way. The main reason I like The Phantom Menace more then Return of the Jedi is that Return of the Jedi is the last of the series. It has a lot more responsiblity ending the series then The Phantom Menace does beginning it. This makes Return of the Jedis numerour flaws less forgivable.

All storm troopers are clones. Lucas has stated this mulitple times. I didn't need lucas too. I figured it out the second I saw them standing in there stormtrooper white outfits. You really should have too. Also if droids can kill Jedi then I am sure laser fire can kill sith as well.

The Ultimate Editions are coming. I would bet my money on it. Also if you want the original versions there are alot of bootleg DVDs. They often come in anamorphic widescreen and while not up to standard of what an official DVD would look they are vastly better then what a VHS would look. You won't be stealing because Lucas says the originals don't excist. How can you steal something that doesn't excist. Me I am buying the official DVDs this fall. While I don't like every change I do overall prefer the Special Editions. There is still a possibility that Han and Greedo scene will be restored in the DVDs. Ign.com has reported this and says they have sources and I hope there right. Even if they are not I will definutly get these DVDs as soon as I can.

Heres what I have to say about your explainations ricarleite.

1. Where did you hear that from
2. Why would the Empire send incompitent Storm Troopers
3. A space station the size of a moon was destroyed by a one man fighter. Thats pretty damn easy.
4. No Padme was not told about the hanger. They blindly followed Tyrannus there.
5. The flu give me a fucking break
6. I guess that explaination does work a bit
7. But not more then one bald black man in the Jedi council
8. At least we agree on something

Amazon.com says the Star Wars trilogy box set is the most succussful DVD set of all time. I guess lack of originals is not turning to many people off is it.

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.

Why didn't the all those Star Destroyers simply wipe out the last of the rebals? I don't want an answer like because the movie needed to end. A logical reason of how the rebals survived that battle or much less won it. There were far more imperial forces then rebals at that battle. Plus you say it didn't end at Return of the Jedi. Then Return of the Jedi should not have been the last movie. Return of the Jedi should have ended it all in a way that would satisfy people over 10. Something Return of the Jedi failed at miserably.

He is releasing them now because people are damn sick and tired of waiting and he is too busy making Episode 3 to create the Ultimate Editions now. Personally he should have released Special Editions years ago and then Ultimate Editions in 2007.

Doc

I would say it was the lack of Darth Maul that was The Phantom Menaces biggest flaw. Much bigger then Jar Jar. Darth Maul was a great villian. I like how he looks like the devil.

I didn't say you can't post spoilers. Just warn people about them. Also since Grevious is in the Clone Wars cartoons he is no longer a spoiler. The Clone Wars cartoons are not spoilers. Also Han had plenty of fight scenes just not with lightsabers.

Attack of the Clones - A+
A New Hope - A
The Empire Strikes Back - A
The Phantom Menace - B
Return of the Jedi - B-

Return of the Jedi is not a bad movie. In fact it is a pretty good one. It just is low on Star Wars stadus. Plus if the empire didn't surrender then why did the trilogy end. We have hundreds of Star Destroyers that just appear to vanish. The Empire in The Empire Strikes Back was a huge threat to the rebellion. Here the Empire looses against vastly inferior enemys. It is just such a lackluster ending. A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back were done so well why couldn't Return of the Jedi have just been done the same way.

Rebel Scumb that better not have been a fucking spoiler. I am going Spoiler free for Episode 3. It is rude and nasty to drop spoilers on people without warning. Next time you have a spoiler please drop a warning.

If Grevious had a jet pack he could float and hold all four lightsabers.

He is releasing them now because he is sick of fan bitching. Plus by the time the Ultimate Editions are finished HD-DVD will be availble. These DVDs are just way of making quick cash, promoting Episode 3, and showing that the movies are still changing. Personally im glad for any version before 2007. I will be buying these DVDs and the Ultimate Edition HD-DVDs.

Lucas has stated that he plans on finishing the trilogy after Episode 3. So these 2004 DVDs will not be the final versions. The Ultimate Editions will try to connect the original trilogy with the prequals. It will add new scenes and new effects to match the story and look to that of the prequals. The 2004 DVDs are not about connecting with the prequals. They are about making changes that should have been made in 1997 but that Lucas lost time or forgot to make. Be sure that in 2007 there will be Ultimate Editions.

You don't have to worry about that. Lucas is way to preoccupied with Episode 3 to put in too many changes. In 2007 is where we will get alot more changes for the 30th anniversery Ultimate Editions.

True Jabba is a non-humaniod villian but he really is not to major. He just a lazy slug. Grevious is a awsome villian that can fight. He handed those Jedi there heads. He is one tough mother fucker.

Reasons Return of the Jedi is the worst Star Wars movie

1. The Empire couldn't think of anything better then building another death star after how easily the last was destroyed.

2. Boba went out with a burp instead of a bang

3. While Return of the Jedis Vader vs Luke battle wasn't bad the one in The Empire Strikes Back was far superior

4. The word "destiny" is used way to many times

5. A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Attack of the Clones show clones as very efficient warriors but here they couldn't kill more then a few ewoks.

6. Ending is way too happy. They should have killed off more characters.

7. The ewoks were annoying as hell. They looked like a bunch teddy bears. I dislike them more then Jar Jar.

8. Why did the Empire surrender after the death star was destroyed. They still had more then enough fire power to wipe out the last of the rebals

9. Return of the Jedi had alot more responsiblity ending the series then The Phantom Menace did beginning it.

10. Two logs coming together would not destroy a modern tank much less a futuristic walker.

11. Did I mention the ewoks? Thought so
