Even back in Phantom Menace the whole thing about Anakin was, "He wants to help people, he gives without thought of reward," etc.

shout. shout. let it all out.

Anakin in ROTS: Buddy buddy jokes n laughs with obi wan - conflicting emotions but sceptical of Palpatine - conflicted talk with Palpatine - slaughters doe eyed little children with rage to spare.

I've been hurt before so I'm keeping my distance
But could someone confirm, racist internet dudes are mad at this movie simply because that one main character is black??

Yeah, that goes back to the first trailer almost a year ago, but I think the stink that was raised this week about the "white genocide" thing was only a dumb joke that the media took seriously.

Anakin screaming "no" when he wakes up in the Vader suit wasn't about the loss of his wife or his mutilated body -- it was his realization that he could have created a sand-proof suit of armor long ago and it never occurred to him

i prefer the idea of them having like 400 Vader apparatuses at their disposal for these such situations....after Vader dies they're onto the next burnt Empire saviour

Anakin screaming "no"
this moment btw is the perfect example of something that by rights should have been really intense... just our accumulated knowledge of who anakin was and what he is shortly to become should have made that moment deeply emotional. but lucas just botched it in the execution... the framing, editing, everything (as i recall) was just so limp.

the worst prequel scene I can remember is anakin and padre romantically running around in a field. maybe in the second film? mumbled to my friend "jesus christ what is this shit, god damn it george lucas"

I was about to say that he hasn't been in a long-term relationship since the 80s but I guess he got married in 2013 and they had baby via surrogate. For some reason, having a kid via a surrogate seems really apt.
― μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 23 October 2015 04:03 (nine years ago) link
all of the "romantic" scenes were utterly atrocious
the thing is, you can see all of lucas's ambitions in those films, there are all kinds of motifs woven through the films (mise-en-scene, dialogue, etc.; e.g. the "sand" motif) -- it would be impressive if it wasn't all so pointless and ineffectual.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 23 October 2015 04:03 (nine years ago) link
best part of lucas's directing style has to be actors admitting that some lines that fall flat or are delivered in a weird way are because george told them to deliver it that way

and look at those thomas kinkade CGI environments

Made it 50 seconds into that before I couldn't even hate-watch it any more.
― schwantz, Friday, 23 October 2015 04:31 (nine years ago) link
I really was expecting one of those romantic scenes to go...
Padme: I love you.Anakin: Why?Padme: (speechless, frozen for remainder of film)
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Friday, 23 October 2015 05:19 (nine years ago) link
McDiarmid in the opera scene is probably the most defensible piece of the entire prequel trilogy, and they put all the good lines from it in the trailer, so really you can save yourself nearly seven hours of viewing time if you just watch that.
Still not clear why he chooses this gauche, ignorant, petulant, and irritating teen to groom for his second in command. He's easily manipulated and bursting with midichlorians but hardly seems qualified for running the largest most evil empire in the galaxy, also would be a giant pain in the arse to have hanging around all the time.
― ledge, Friday, 23 October 2015 08:10 (nine years ago) link
cuz he is easily manipulated?
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 23 October 2015 10:42 (nine years ago) link
he looks cute in purple lipstick?
He's a powerful Jedi with wonky morals. You probably don't get too many of those.

I like how Palpatine goads Anakin into killing Count Dooku, then later in his office is like, "Well, I know you have a problem controlling your temper . . ."
― Resting Bushface (Phil D.), Friday, 23 October 2015 12:35 (nine years ago) link
I don't know how I never noticed before seeing the gif upthread, but melted Palpatine totally looks like he has a penis for a head.

tbh I've always had a fondness for Jedi. It was the first one I saw in the theater & I was the perfect age to be sold on Ewoks & it has held up to rewatching. yeah it seems more obviously kid friendly watching now but it doesn't upset me. Plus Muir Woods!!! i think ppl / nerds get way more bunched up over Jedi than they need to

The best thing about ROTJ is how Luke's suddenly a badass jedi when he shows up at Jabba's
― too young for seapunk (Moodles), Saturday, 24 October 2015 01:31 (nine years ago) link
^^^ this. And I still laugh when Threepio gets insulted in some guttural droid language by the eyeball-thing at Jabba's door. Though the belch from that toad monster right before that prefigures the poop n' fart "jokes" Lucas put in Phantom Menace. Bad Sign #1.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 24 October 2015 01:46 (nine years ago) link
Jabba being all "gtfo bitchass Jedi" to Luke's mindtricks only to be hoist by his own petard and die anyway is classic.
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Saturday, 24 October 2015 01:47 (nine years ago) link
Hope they laid off the poop jokes in this new one.

― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 24 October 2015 02:06 (nine years ago) link
The whole Jabbas palace sequence of ROTJ is one of the best things in the whole trilogy. I'm also in the camp that its good fun and measures up reasonably well to the other two. Also the ewoks give us the great sequence of c3po telling the Star Wars story in ewok
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Saturday, 24 October 2015 02:12 (nine years ago) link
i mean the Ewok bullshit kinda brings proceedings to a grinding halt but the opening 30 mins or so are really fucking exciting.
but I imagine anybody would be let down after Empire - esp when they bring back another Death Star for round 2
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Saturday, 24 October 2015 02:15 (nine years ago) link
Vader saving Luke and then demasking for his son in his final moments = always makes me misty tho

Going back to TFA -- I have to admit being a little sad when I saw Chewie with a bandaged arm in the new trailer. Would prefer my fave character remain beyond harm :)
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 24 October 2015 02:21 (nine years ago) link
Also : Star Wars Rebels is knocking it out of the park three episodes in. The third episode of this new season is some of the best edited and directed animated TV I've seen in ages.

yeah and it wasn't that impressive, it didn't blow up a planet just a couple starships. Lando and wedge when you really think about it just blew up some scaffolding, considering how it was half finished.
Ackbar took down that super star destroyer hardcore though damn

There are at least three belch jokes/beats in Jedi: the ILM/Henson crew-looking frog thing, Jabba himselft after space frog consumption, and the Sarlacc after Boba Fett goes in.

I thought the Sarlacc belch was added in a "special edition" later. And Jabba's is at least in character.
