Episode III

  • If anger and hatred are the path to the dark side, and Yoda is good, why he does look so pissed off when he fights? And if he can jump, twirl, flip, and spin when he fights, why does he walk with a cane?
  • Apparently, despite all of the technical marvels of the Star Wars universe, nobody ever invented railings. Numerous fight scenes take place on platforms hundreds of feet up in the air, and inevitably someone ends up hanging over a ledge. I guess there were no lawsuits in the Republic.
  • Any scene where two people converse has to take place in front a giant window with hundreds of flying cars whizzing by. At times it felt like the actors were positioned practically out of frame to avoid blocking the window. OK, George, the cars fly, we get it.
  • What's with the R2-D2 Inspector Gadget upgrades? Jetpack? Oil slick? Apparently he actually gets downgraded in the future.
  • Why did Padme have to turn from a scrappy fighter in Episode II to a weepy nothing in Episode III?

Easily the best movie of the second series. It had its slow spots, and I had some issues with the way "the big switch" was done, but the last half hour was very good. It had some nice connections to the original series at the end, and actually made me want to go back and watch Episodes 4,5, and 6 again.

    Obviously you've never had a pregnant wife. ;)

  • Oh, I'm not even going to touch that. ;)

  • 1. Because any fighting is bad... He walks with a cane because any use of the force for selfish reasons would take him to the dark side, thus he must only use it for defence.

    2. Yes, they're more advanced than we are, if you fall off a ledge, its your own damn fault.

    4. The droids were obviously altered after they were given to Capt. Antillies. 3PO's memory was wiped and R2 was working on rebel ships for the entire time luke was growing up on Tattoine. The rebellion isn't exactly rich so they prolly couldn't afford to fix everything that broke on R2. Who knows how many times he's build completely rebuilt.

    4. -> Who knows how many times he's build completely rebuilt.

    George Lucas?
