Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
I thought the movie was ok. Hell, I'm not a Star Wars fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I was expecting this one to blow me away. Maybe my lack of experience in watching these films (Last time I watched the first trilogy was like 8 years ago and I never saw Clone Wars) set me up for something else.
I reeaaaallly dislike Lucas' segways or transitions or whatever you call them. 3 Parallel bars coming up from the bottom of the screen and fading into the next scene just got me out of the movie. The acting wasnt too great either, but that's nothing new to talk about. I never really got into the movies style.
But, I liked a lot of it. I couldnt keep up with the battles or anything, but it was enjoyable. I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
Oh and:
"AlamDV is a pretty old program, but it's great for adding lightsaber effects to videos and pictures. If you and your friends have ever made "duel" videos, or you have a picture of yourself holding a sword or stick, this is for you. If not, take a short video of you swinging something around and make yourself look neat with this program. In photoshop, adding a saber to each video frame would be a huge pain in the ass. This makes it easier. It's also good for other video special effects, in case you're an amateur filmmaker."

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
Mace sensed darkness in Anakin, that's why he continually did not trust him, and did not make him a Jedi Master.

I saw it twice on the first day, and I agree... Although some of it's flaws, such as the dialogue and such stuck out a bit more the second time through...

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
I just saw it today, and I have to say I liked it.
*SPOILERS*
I admit, I would have liked it more if it showed him actually killing the children, but I guess implying is good enough.
I am happy that Jar-Jar Binks had no lines, and only 2 appearances. That made me pleased.

Since the topic has a spoiler marking on it now, I'm not going to bother with another
I think not showing it was part of what made that scene as powerful as it was... I mean, you see that one kid kick some ass and then get blasted when Bail Organa arrives... And you do see Anakin kill a couple kids on the security hologram thing...
But neither of them were as powerful as when Anakin waltzed in the room, the kids asked him for help, he just stares and turns on his lightsaber... End of scene...
Both times I went, a few people (within earshot), as soon as the lightsaber came on, either gasped or muttered (in a shocked sorta way) something to the extent of "Is he gonna kill the kids!?"... I think actually showing it would've taken away a bit of it's effect...
Some things are better left implied or indirect-ish... Like love... "I'M SO IN LOVE!!!", "NO, IT IS I WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!"...

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
It works like the whole Tusken Raider thing in Episode II. When you just see Anakin kill those two or three and then only hear about the rest, you get some prety grisly images in your head. The same works with the Younglings.
You know, the more I think about it, the more I begin to think that III might replace IV as the #2 Star Wars movie. While ANH is certainly a better made film than RotS, the third prequel is much better it terms of what it adds to the entire saga and, well, the emotions of seeing it happen. Know what I mean? The lightsaber battle in ANH didn't mean anything in 1977, but now that we know the true extent of Vader's betrayal...
Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
Episode IV - A New Hope
Episode II - Attack of the Clones
Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
Saw it on Friday and loved it, enough to get the Star Wars Trilogy, to continue the story (since I've never really seen them).
The only wrong for me, was the whole movie experience...
There was a guy sitting with his girlfriend that just loved the movie so much that he felt it necessary to ruin it for me and most of the crowd by going to sleep DURING THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!!! not only that but SNORING, very loudly I might add. His girl just sat there like a f*cking dumbass while he was in Dreamland, collecting Z's on the ground. Sony(Kyuzo) and I were contemplating on throwing my drink to his ass after the movie was over, but he woke up when the movie ended. When we were getting up, I heard him saying "Oh what did I miss?"
I'm thinking "THE WHOLE F*CKING MOVIE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!" [/endrant]
Back to the movie...
I loved how Yoda kicked ass just walking in the room...

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
You know what? I've been doing some thinking. I saw this with Dylflon and Typhoid, by the way.
The only reason this movie is so much better than the others is the fact that Yoda fights more than once. Seeing episode II in theatres, people just laughed at Yoda fighting. Also, seeing Darth Sidious fighting with a lightsaber was an happy surprise.
The ending went by too quick. And it didn't really explain why Anakin got a quasi-british accent all of a sudden. But the voice actor for Vader did a great job of copying Christensen's manner of speech when he spoke for the first time through the machine. It was a nice touch.
Oh, and that "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" was great. One of the greatest in cinematic history, definitely!

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
Yeah, he was only credited in Return of the Jedi, right?
At first I thought they just brought in really good voice mixers, hahah. But then it was obvious they brought him back. Too bad he went uncredited.

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
Yeah. Heard that he felt that voice work wasn't enough to warrant a credit mention and asked to be uncredited for the other movies.

Re: Star Wars *Spoilers*
I'm surprised Hayden's name wasn't in the credits for Episode VI return of the jedi..
I got the newer 2004 trilogy release and they changed Anakin in the end of Episode VI to Hayden instead of the old guy.... makes the story connect better.
