My favourite Padmé costume ever. The ROTS DVD had a feature (web-documentary) about Trisha Biggar and her work and this was one of its highlights.

Yeah, it's one of my favorites also. It's just so beautiful, and i love how it shifts colors depending on the light.

Awesome pictures of the Fetts.

I've always wanted a Jango or ESB Boba costume... I took some pictures of the former myself at a Paris exhibit back in 2005. I love the amount of details that goes into these costumes, even those only worn by background extras.

[Punisher Rising]

I'm pretty sure they are different extras.


Thanks for the information. Sounds like I'll have to get them on DVD as well to get every special feature.

[Hunter Rider]

You are spoiling us Bim! :D The Senate costumes must have taken an age to make and design, I wonder if they were the most expensive in the movie.

Yeah, I thought I'd be able to make some room until I found out the extras from the 2 disc DVD's I own were not on the Blu Ray.

Support the "Machete Order" of watching the Star Wars saga.

The link to the, long but totally worth it, article is below; but here's the argument in a nutshell:

1) The saga should be watched in the following order: IV, V, II, III, VI
2) Ep I should be left out because: a) its awful, b) it adds nothing to the overall story, c) the continuity is better without it
3) The above order actually serves to maximize the Luke/Annakin dynamic, leading up to VI.
4) All main secrets (Luke/Vader, Luke/Leia, and Palpatine/Sidious) are maintained and revealed in a more epic fashion because of this order.
5) This order allows for two stories about Luke, then two about Annakin as a character foil, and then finally VI is the culmination of BOTH storylines. This order actually improves JEDI. It also makes Luke's drift towards the dark side seem possible.

I really can't recommend that you read this enough. If you're a fan it's well worth your time as IMHO, it really gives some much needed new credibility after 13 rather dark years.

The best order to watch the films is the original trilogy first, then the prequels (which are optional :cwink:).

Papanoida was in the PT?






Papanoida is seen briefly when Anakin runs into the opera house to talk to Palpatine

[Marvolo]

Does anyone actually watch these in any specific order? I mean people get worked up when a new order is proposed, but what's the big deal? I just watch whichever movie I want to watch regardless of the "proper" order. I'll do movie marathons once in a while, but no way am I watching these 6 movies back to back. On occassion I will watch 4 then 5 or 2 then 3, but I never watch 1-6 or 4-6,1-3. Matter of fact I never watch 1 or 6 even if I'm doing a a marathon. I've seen them enough to remember the good parts without having to go through the less than stellar parts.

Just curious if the people on here against proposed non official orders of watching the films actually watch them enough in order to warrant even caring what order they are watched in.

[antsman41]

You could Radiohead the films...

4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3.

[Hunter Rider]

I think it's a case of each to their own, personally I always watch them in order of the story.

[Punisher Rising]

I still can't believe I haven't seen the prequels since their theatrical releases. When I get them on DVD or in the Blu-ray set I'll finally see them again.

[Marvolo]

Well, ROTS didn't click for me until yesterday. I **** you not. I watched this movie opening day, and have watched it many times since then, and never could get past the fact that Anikan's turn seems so random and quick and down right foolish. Well, it finally hit me. I was watching Mace fight Sidious, and I couldn't help but think that had Anikan not done what he did the whole thing could have went different. How easily all of it was avoidable. Immediately when Anikan cut off Mace's hand I yelled out "You damn fool!"

Lol, I've never done that before. For the first time, I actually felt something about his decision. After I did that, I enjoyed the movie more than I ever have. It's like everything fell into place for me. Anikan was a fool, and it led to a lot of senseless death and destruction. Here for years I've been struggling with this movie, and fussing over how Anikan's decision made no sense, but it does. I couldn't understand how anyone would make the choice he did, but they would if they were in his boots. He was so manipulated, and so desperate to believe anything to save his wife that he made a decision that any normal person knows was wrong but he just couldn't risk it. He was so afraid that he might regret not saving Sidious that he had to. In that moment he had to bet on the Jedi or Sith and he chose the wrong horse. We the viewer want him to not make that mistake, but all we can do is watch as he knocks down a dominoe that will spiral the galaxy into darkness and war. Its ****ing sad. Especially when you consider she died from stress and greef anyways.

Acting is still bad at times, and the movie could use some polishing, but Anikan's betrayal and turn made sense to me more than it ever has.

[Hunter Rider]

That Mace moment is definitely key, he was so conflicted but once he kills Mace there's no way back and he gives in to that side of himself he'd kept repressed as best as possible, all those years of manipulation from palpatine finally paying off.

It was nice being able to emotionally invest in the movie for once. I get invested in the OT quite easily, but always struggle with the PT. There was just a lot of stuff getting in the way of that. ROTS has always been my third favorite, but now it may move up some. It's got a lot of technical problems and flaws, but the story itself resonates deep. I mean how many movies have an ending that depressing. Thousands killed, a republic destroyed, heroes in exile, main character turns bad and causes wife's death, etc. It's a tragedy on a huge scale. If the movie had been polished up a bit I have no doubt it could have been a classic.

I've always been a big advocate of preserving the "I am your Father" moment by watching the OT first, but I'd love to see someones reaction to ROTS not knowing what is coming next. I imagine its a big blow, and has to be depressing.

Having a trilogy end, as you say with the hero falling and the tragically magnificent Order 66/Vader's march on the Jedi temple is certainly unusual, and for any younger fans who watched without watching the OT or knowing where it was all heading, it must have been a gut punch, waiting for Anakin to realize his mistake, only that moment never comes.

It's summed up with one of Yoda's best lines, after Obi Wan sees the video of Anakin kneeling before Palpatine; "The boy you trained, gone he is, consumed by Darth Vader." One of my favourite lines in the whole saga, but I think the final scene of Obi Wan handing Luke to Owen and Beru was the perfect choice emotionally and that it shows the new hope.

It's summed up with one of Yoda's best lines, after Obi Wan sees the video of Anakin kneeling before Palpatine; "The boy you trained, gone he is, consumed by Darth Vader." One of my favourite lines in the whole saga, but I think the final scene of Obi Wan handing Luke to Owen and Beru was the perfect choice emotionally and that it shows the new hope.

That is one of the best lines in the saga, and the ending shot of Beru and Owen staring off into the distance as the twin suns sets is one of my favorite shots in the trilogy. Its beautiful in so many ways.

That theme is also perhaps my favourite piece of Star Wars music, just raises the hairs on the back of my neck.

[OptimusPrime114]

I can't wait for tomorrow's TCW episode!

[Bim]

What is the Han/Zam connection?

I honestly dont remember the text there *blush*. I'll have to read it and let you know lol.

Natalie Portman was so incredibly beautiful as Padme.

That shot on the left when they were on Tatooine is Padme looking her most natural and beautiful in the whole PT I'd say.
Yeah; i have to agree, that's one of her most beautiful moments.

Well, ROTS didn't click for me until yesterday. I **** you not. I watched this movie opening day, and have watched it many times since then, and never could get past the fact that Anikan's turn seems so random and quick and down right foolish. Well, it finally hit me. I was watching Mace fight Sidious, and I couldn't help but think that had Anikan not done what he did the whole thing could have went different. How easily all of it was avoidable. Immediately when Anikan cut off Mace's hand I yelled out "You damn fool!"

lol well you should see me when i'm watching that movie, i keep mumbling at trying to talk some sense into Anakin, but he just wont listen to me :-P. When Palpatine says he shouldnt let the jedi use him i keep yelling "Dont let Palpatine use you as well!". It's hilarious, i admit lol. This doesnt happen to me with any other movie.

Does anyone actually watch these in any specific order? I mean people get worked up when a new order is proposed, but what's the big deal? I just watch whichever movie I want to watch regardless of the "proper" order. I'll do movie marathons once in a while, but no way am I watching these 6 movies back to back. On occassion I will watch 4 then 5 or 2 then 3, but I never watch 1-6 or 4-6,1-3. Matter of fact I never watch 1 or 6 even if I'm doing a a marathon. I've seen them enough to remember the good parts without having to go through the less than stellar parts.

Just curious if the people on here against proposed non official orders of watching the films actually watch them enough in order to warrant even caring what order they are watched in.
I tend to go chronological when doing a marathon. Of course, if i want to watch a certain movie, i just go for it. I'm not opposed to watching them in another order, i just havent really found one that makes more sense.

Some more pics from Dressing a Galaxy:

[Llama_Shepherd]

In terms of order, when I watch them, if it is to tell the story it goes; A New Hope, to introduce the world and characters, The Phantom Menace, to introduce Anakin and Obi-Wan, The Empire Strikes Back so Vader reveals the secret to Luke, Revenge of the Sith to show Anakin's descent and Return of the Jedi to show his redemption.

You know what I just found out?

Simon Pegg is either ironic or a hypocrite. He's been taking crap about the prequels for 13 years and yet he's lending his voice to the character of Dengar on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is set in that era!

People usually backpedal on anything when it comes to a paycheck. Alec Guinness from the original trilogy never liked the Star Wars movies, but was happy enough with his check.

Who would've thought Duros were cool beyond what we only saw of them in the Mos Eisley's cantina scene. Great bounty hunter, by the way.

[CapedCrusader14]

Here's what Simon Pegg has to say about all the comments of him being on TCW (copied and pasted off Twitter).

"@simonpegg: A number people within the SW fan community are mad because I'm voicing Dengar but dislike the prequels. Come on guys, it's Dengar! :-)"

He also said this:

"@simonpegg: One thing's for sure, I sure as heck didn't do it for the credits."

[The_Raganork]

Yeah, from the voice, to the look, to the attitude it all works out. I love seeing him on Clone Wars.

I wish they'd let him be a little more successful though. Other than that they've really set up a great character.

Why is it hypocritical? just because you don't like the movies, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the era itself.

I don't have much respect for the prequels as films, but the universe that they exist in is pretty awesome. And whenever there's been legitimately good things based in that era (books, the Clone Wars, etc.), I've enjoyed them. Does that make me a hypocrite?

He's taking part in a critically acclaimed series based on one of the most popular fictional entities ever. There's no downside to that.

To be honest, i dont care who Simon is or what he has or hasnt said. I obviously dont share his views regarding the PT, but whatever lol, he can say what he pleases. If his voice works for the character, that's good enough for me :yay:.

I share the Cad Bane love btw, he's just a badass bounty hunter.

[CapedCrusader14]

I agree with Simon though, why wouldn't you want to play Dengar? :D

Shouldn't Dengar be a little more chubby like he does in ESP? Also, according to the back stories, Dengar got scarred & everything during his early years in a scuffle with Solo, so shouldn't he be not battle scarred yet?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2110383/Anakin-Skywalker-actor-Jake-Lloyd-Star-Wars-fame-turned-life-living-hell.html
I didnt read any quotes where he said he blames Lucas for 'ruining his life'. He hates the cameras, the movie (cant even watch it). He blames Lucas for not being able to watch the movie: Lloyd felt so much anger towards the George Lucas directed film that he destroyed all of his Star Wars memorabilia, and only reprised his role as Anakin for five video games.

Jake, whose mother is an entertainment agent, admitted in an interview Scifitv.com that he doesn't like wacthing the film anymore and he blames George for that. He said: 'When you have something like that there's a lot of expectations for it to meet the standards of the public and I don't think George did that. 'For me to go back and watch it now would be kind of creepy.'

I personally think the fanboys are to blame for his trauma with how they picked on a little boy and how the media hounded him too. He was treated way unfairly by many. People forgot he was a KID.

[Mr. Wooden Alligator]

I do agree, critiquing his acting is fine but some of the vitriol you see expressed toward Lloyd is ridiculous. To turn a phrase, the neckbeards raped Lloyd's childhood.

That middle picture of Sidious is my favorite.

People have been, are, and always will be WAAAAY too hard on him. He was an 8 year old kid. Not every child actor is going to be Haley Joel Osment.

As for Darth Maul, how did he survive being sliced in two and falling down a large duct, exactly?

The same way Vader kept the lava on Mustafar from totally killing him: anger and hate. In this case with Maul, anger, hate and cybernetic legs.

[Hunter Rider]

@ DCW, I love that saga wallpaper. :up:

Cool pics Bim, I didn't think Obi Wand and Maul would come face to face until part 2.

It was interesting what Ventress said at the end of last weeks ep, I wonder if she's going to become a bounty hunter and maybe get a partner........

[roach]

I keep saying it and people don't believe...they couldn't use Durge so they created Cad

So are they going to explain his survival or is it just gonna be one of those things that they don't explain?

[OptimusPrime114]

Read The Wrath of Darth Maul. It explains everything.

I looked that up, Filoni said they can use Durge but back at the start they decided to invent Cad Bane rather than retcon the prior series from the get go, but that Durge may appear in the future.

I think they're going to explain it, although if he's going to make it into next season maybe that's something we'll learn as the episodes roll on, and it will be a gradual reveal? i dunno, i just hope they do tell us lol.

Is that considered canon? More importantly, if they explain this, I'm pretty sure this will be canon.

Witwer said that Maul starts as kind of going to try and get revenge on Obi-Wan but decides that he could do something bigger and still get revenge at the same time. Sounds like its going to get pretty personal with Darth Maul

[Doctor Jones]

Sounds very cool to me. I can't to see Maul confront Obi-Wan for the first time in over a decade.

[Bim]

Sounds very cool to me. I can't to see Maul confront Obi-Wan for the first time in over a decade.
That makes two of us. I get the feeling it will be a brutal confrontation.

Yeah, he is, when fighting Darth Maul in Menace he was focusing his rage on him for killing Qui-Gon, but Maul is obviously more experienced in the dark side and beat him. Dangling over that abyss gave Obi-Wan a chance to recollect himself and he defeated Maul.

I can see why he's angry but there are kids who went through hell growing up that didn't star in any movies. George Lucas didn't invent bullying. I hope he can just let go of the anger and come to terms with it.

R.I.P Ralph McQuarrie, truly an incredible visionary artist.

Absolutely , his work will always be appreciated.

Some claim this. I personally never saw Obi-Wan using the darkside or bordering on using it during the duel in TPM. I saw him determined to stop the killer of his master, yes, but nothing that would make me think he was on the verge of the darkside, but that's just me. That's one of those endless debates that the saga provides, although not as popular as oh, was Palps faking it when fighting Mace... talk about heated exchanges. That one was brutal :hehe:

Well he was certainly using anger from his attachment to Qui-Gon to fight Maul.

This fight was always the basis of my "Balance is Both" argument. In short a little bit of the Dark Side is needed to be the perfect Jedi, the films show us this again and again. Emotional attachment is ultimately what does the greatest good and the greatest damage.

Obi-Wan was successful against an agent of rage by using his rage but keeping his head. This wouldn't be repeated with Dooku both times, in which he did not combat Dooku with a balance of the force but rather just a his Jedi 'goodness'

However whenever someone is defeated in Star Wars it's with a balance of those emotions. It is the key to success.

See that's the thing. For me there isnt such thing as a "perfect jedi". In my opinion a great jedi is someone who uses his abilities for the greater good and does the best he can with what he has, living up to his or her potential. A jedi feels (obviously, he must) but finds a way to keep a balance and not let his emotions overwhelm or control him. I dont see the jedi any differently than i see people in real life. I actually think anger, while can be a great catalyst in rare occasions, for the most part leads nowhere. I personally dont walk around angry in order to get things done lol, that would be emotionally draining and not healthy imo. I always agreed with Anakin in AOTC when he said jedi are encouraged to love; they just frown upon emotional attachments, especially romantic ones lol. Whether this is right or not is a different monster that i wont get into or i wont be done with this post today :cwink:

I saw this scene as Obi-Wan going through shock, outrage and then determination to stop Maul, knowing he had to take the initiative, since he was facing a more than worthy opponent.

As far as the duels with Dooku goes, Dooku was just that good imo, i dont need a deeper reason than that. He was one of the jedi's best swordsmen, very few could outdo him imo. Either that or it just had to be Anakin to kill him off so Obi was kinda in the way :oldrazz:

Again, i stress this is just my perception and this is what i like about Star Wars: margin for interpretation of certain scenes. It's all true, "from a certain point of view" :cwink:

Hope the post made sense, cause as usual they interrupted me tons, bah!

Had to edit to add these babies. Who's excited for friday's CW episode? *raises hands and feet*

He, of all people should've known that becoming a celebrity of any kind puts you constantly under scrutiny & under a "microscope". Personally, I never liked him in TPM & in my opinion was one of the low points in the film . To blame Lucas for the bullying & other hardships he had to endure is laughable.

[Marx]

Lloyd still looks like annoying little "Ani".

[Mr. Wooden Alligator]

He looks a tad pudgier though.

[CConn]

I'll pass. I like my films to have stories.Um, there's still a story there. It's just a different kind of story.

Personally, I do agree that Lucas' attempt at having a complex political backdrop to Anakin's story is, actually, one of my favorite things about the prequels...however, I do see the merit in having a story focused solely on Anakin.

Only being 85 minutes seems a bit extreme, though. :o

[AnneFan]

Heh, and after all Lloyd said he's signing something in that photo, even if it was taken 2 years ago.

[CConn]

He, of all people should've known that becoming a celebrity of any kind puts you constantly under scrutiny & under a "microscope"....he was like 8 when he was cast.

He hadn't even developed an intellect large enough to grasp the longterm ramifications of becoming a celebrity.

That said, if he should blame anyone, it kinda should be his own parents. :o

[weezerspider]

I've heard unbelievably positive reviews of Grace's edit. I would love to see it. Too bad that probably will never happen.

[CConn]

The only problem I see with it for me would be the simple fact that Lucas' plotting and overall story for the prequels wasn't bad at all - I actually enjoy it a lot - what ruined those movies for me was the atrocious dialogue and even more atrocious acting on the part of Christensen, Portman, etc. And, unfortunately, you can't edit that out.

The one thing he did that I actually do think would improve the prequels, is how he cut a lot of scenes short - like never revealing that Vader finds out that Padme has died - I think little things like that would give the movies a subtlety and downright maturity that they currently lack.

[The_Raganork]

Did you read any of those descriptions of that cut? It was MORE story focused, or at least more focused on a specific story.
It's more story based. It has a story but several descriptions pointed out it's more action based. The story has to be told by Topher and is loosely kept within the film.

Um, there's still a story there. It's just a different kind of story.

Personally, I do agree that Lucas' attempt at having a complex political backdrop to Anakin's story is, actually, one of my favorite things about the prequels...however, I do see the merit in having a story focused solely on Anakin.

Only being 85 minutes seems a bit extreme, though. :o

That's pretty much what I meant, the political backdrop of the prequels may not be favorable to some people but it is the unique factor to those three films and I think if people got off their high horse (no one here) they'd see that a nice complex political story was actually told in the three movies. what messes it up is Episode III's sudden abandonment of the political element. Leaving out Palpatine's kidnapping probably saved a lot of time and money but to the story that being shown would have been invaluable.

Topher's 85 minute cut sounds superficial and treats Star Wars as a common action movie (from how I read it) and that's not what interest me. I'm not a huge fan of the prequels but they are Star Wars and there's a merit to those films, even the worse one, that a lot of films don't have. That Merit has always been that it attempts to keep the stories first and have the action supplement that story.

That Merit has always been that it attempts to keep the stories first and have the action supplement that story.But see, that's not how I read it at all.

I read it as being a love story and a personal introspection of Anakin as a character. Sure with how the description reads, there's a lot of action in it, but the focus seems very much to be centered on Anakin's fall.

Which, I think, is a perfectly acceptable approach to the story. It also is pretty much exactly what people wanted and expected from the prequels. As much as I liked the political element, I don't think many casual viewers even notice it until ROTS. And even then, they just assumed it's all a bunch of Bush analogies. But that's a separate conversation all together. :o

There was a great edit of Phantom Menace by someone named Magnoliafan who make the movie actually work. He redid the voice of Jar Jar completely and made him sound like a car salesman type, and it actually makes the character enjoyable and funny. The feud between the Naboo and the Gungas actually makes since because the backstory explains that when Jar Jar fell asleep, a Naboo stole a kaibur crystal guarded in the underwater city and has not since been returned until the end of the movie.

I was able to watch it years back and it was quiet good. Obviously it had some rough edges due to limitations but it is a good one. It got a lot of recognition too. Prolly the most popular fan edit there is. It always amazes me at the remix culture that was born out of the star wars prequels.

Well i despise real politics myself LOL, but i found SW politics interesting, mainly because i was interested in Palpatine's arc like i said. I loved watching him manipulate to get himself into power, and then keep on manipulating in order to get even more power for himself, until it was too late for the ones who could to stop him.

Ok i just watched CW and found Maul incredibly creepy :wow:. This episode felt too short damn it, i want more :csad:. I cant wait until next week, although the feeling we're getting a cruel cliffhanger keeps getting stronger and stronger...

Did you notice how the Star Wars logo was red instead of the usual yellow tonight? :D

Well seeing the latest interesting episode of the Clone Wars has made me hate the prequels even more.


For some reason Ben Kenobi is able to sense Darth Maul by name when he had no idea of the true identity of the Sith Lord in TPM. The crazy spider Maul now seems to have as much of a character as he did in TPM and only is there to sell more toys again. A real chance to fix the mistake of this character being killed off too soon and he is just rehashed to do make the same mistakes he did before. Should have seen this coming. :doh:

You must have watched a different episode cause no way you got all that from the limited screen time he had in tonight's episode. Way to jump to conclusions.

This is really good!

I wanna see Topher's re-edit. :up:

Does he have a twitter account? Maybe if he gets enough fans messaging him for it he might put it online, or encourage him to show it at Comic Con.

He knew his name because Maul obviously had his name engraved on his lightsaber, duh. :o

Edit: Palpatine got more awesome the more the films went on. I'm so glad they used the same guy as ROTJ.one of the best decisions they made on the prequels. Ian McDiarmidis a fantastic actor and we got lucky that he got back.

[OptimusPrime114]

Speaking of which, do you think Ian McDiarmid will fill in for the late Ian Abercrombie for future episodes of TCW?

Yep, SW politics is more fun than real politics :woot:

one of the best decisions they made on the prequels. Ian McDiarmidis a fantastic actor and we got lucky that he got back.He's made The Emperor one of my favourite Star Wars characters.

[Bim]

He knew his name because Maul obviously had his name engraved on his lightsaber, duh. :o
lol. I dunno, maybe Nute Gungray said the name in one of "his trials"? That's what i assumed anyways.

I enjoyed the last 5-7 minutes of the episode tremendously, the rest of it just felt unnecessary. I kept thinking "come on, get to Maul already!" lol.

Next week's synopsis: http://www.starwars.com/explore/the-clone-wars/ep422/#!/about (http://www.starwars.com/explore/the-clone-wars/ep422/#%21/about)
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Savage and Maul, now reunited, pursue Obi-Wan Kenobi in search of revenge, and the Jedi Knight finds himself forced to unite with a surprising ally to defend against the deadly siblings.

And the preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY2xwamUuGE

I think it's safe to say Ventress will be the one helping Obi-Wan out :cwink: and looks like Savage helps Maul get better mechanical legs.

Some pics (they're big, so i put them in spoiler tags):

Wholeheartedly agree :yay:

[Hunter Rider]

It was a decent ep I thought, loved the junker planet and the way Maul was reintroduced, it was pretty creepy, the actual structure reminded me of Gollum leading Sam and Frodo to Shelob. Savage has a real presence with Clancy Brown providing the voice, which makes him more than a yellow version of Maul.

The other thing I really liked was the scenes of the key characters sensing the disturbance in the Force.

In truth though they should have aired both parts back to back IMO as this was very much the set up.

Team ObiTress is gonna be fun to see. :D I wonder who she sensed, I'm guessing Oppress as she has no connection to Maul as such, and it was interesting to see Mother Talzin was still alive.

The synopsis says they track Obi Wan but it looks like he goes to find them in the preview.

This could be your cliffhanger! :D Or it could be before Ventress arrives to even the odds.

[OptimusPrime114]

Anybody got a wish list for the fifth season of TCW?

[roach]

for the series to end on the holodeck and its Han, Leia and Luke in the jedi temple researching the origins of Anakin Skywalker

[AnneFan]

He's made The Emperor one of my favourite Star Wars characters.

He's probably my favourite character. The grand puppet master. Even though there's that uncredited older woman voiced by Clive Revill, I can't imagine any one else other than Ian in the role.

[OptimusPrime114]

for the series to end on the holodeck and Han, Leia and Luke in the Jedi Temple researching the origins of Anakin Skywalker

You mean like a Harry Potter-style epilogue?

[CConn]

He's made The Emperor one of my favourite Star Wars characters.I agree. He was really the star of the PT.

That said, as good has his performances were, I'll never quite get why he had to go SO hammy with his performance once he reveals himself to the Jedi. I mean, he's like giggling every time he swings his lightsaber. It's a bit overdone. :o

[AnneFan]

Hmm I think he handled the scene quite well. I always took it as he can't believe the time has finally come after years and years of waiting. There are a few hateful glances thrown in as well.

[CConn]

He honestly reminded me of Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face. :o

[Bim]

In truth though they should have aired both parts back to back IMO as this was very much the set up.

Agreed; shame on CN for separating the one hour finale.


Team ObiTress is gonna be fun to see. :D I wonder who she sensed, I'm guessing Oppress as she has no connection to Maul as such, and it was interesting to see Mother Talzin was still alive.

Obitress :pal:. Yeah i assume it was Savage too; she must have it in for him for betraying her.


The synopsis says they track Obi Wan but it looks like he goes to find them in the preview.

Who knows, maybe Obi-Wan was fighting in the war somewhere and they track him down.


This could be your cliffhanger! :D Or it could be before Ventress arrives to even the odds.
Oh my god, how will i survive until next season with Obi-Wan in peril? :wow: :csad: (i know he wont die, but still lol)

Hmm I think he handled the scene quite well. I always took it as he can't believe the time has finally come after years and years of waiting. There are a few hateful glances thrown in as well.
Yeah, that was my take on it too. Finally after decades of hiding from the jedi he finally makes his move and is full force high on his power. He has the momentum and he knows he's very close to taking out the ones who could have stopped him. He unleashed his darkness. A very in-your-face move; he was fighting Yoda after all, he had to gloat and show him what he had. It was his moment. He was full of himself.

[roach]

You mean like a Harry Potter-style epilogue?

no like the ending to Star Trek Voyager

[Yodaman]

^You mean Enterprise :o:o

And **** you for reminding me of that :o:o:o

[roach]

^You mean Enterprise :o:o

And **** you for reminding me of that :o:o:o

you are welcome:woot:

[GoldGoblin]

Dooku will team up with Obi to fight Maul and Savage.

[Llama_Shepherd]

He's probably my favourite character. The grand puppet master. Even though there's that uncredited older woman voiced by Clive Revill, I can't imagine any one else other than Ian in the role.

Just as a bit of trivia, the uncredited woman was Elaine Baker, make up designer Rick Baker's wife.

[Iceman]

He's probably my favourite character. The grand puppet master.He really is. That bastard completely controlled everything and everyone from the word go. Took down the whole Jedi Order with just a tiny bit of manipulation. Awesome.

I agree. He was really the star of the PT.

That said, as good has his performances were, I'll never quite get why he had to go SO hammy with his performance once he reveals himself to the Jedi. I mean, he's like giggling every time he swings his lightsaber. It's a bit overdone. :oCompletely over the top during that part lol but we can forgive him for that.

[OptimusPrime114]

Sidious did have a good run. Until he made his fatal mistake: underestimating the Skywalker family.

[CConn]

Me too.

It was probably just Lucas' direction.

"Now cackle like somebody's scary grandmother!" :o

[Hunter Rider]

Obitress :pal:. Yeah i assume it was Savage too; she must have it in for him for betraying her.

They'll be the "it" couple in Coruscant Weekly! :D She seemed kind of unerved by who she sensed so maybe she is wary of Savage.

Who knows, maybe Obi-Wan was fighting in the war somewhere and they track him down.

It's just you see him leaving his ship and seeking out Maul, I wonder if they cause destruction somewhere to lure him in, but I wonder why he goes alone.

Oh my god, how will i survive until next season with Obi-Wan in peril? :wow: :csad: (i know he wont die, but still lol)

Well you can set up your pieces of Obi Wan and pray for his safety at your shrine each day! :D

Yeah, that was my take on it too. Finally after decades of hiding from the jedi he finally makes his move and is full force high on his power. He has the momentum and he knows he's very close to taking out the ones who could have stopped him. He unleashed his darkness. A very in-your-face move; he was fighting Yoda after all, he had to gloat and show him what he had. It was his moment. He was full of himself.

Exactly how I saw it and I loved it, he was essentially unleashing a 20+ year powergasm!

He really is. That bastard completely controlled everything and everyone from the word go. Took down the whole Jedi Order with just a tiny bit of manipulation. Awesome.

His manipulation included an entire war so I'd not say tiny, but very intricate in parts. I think no matter what anyone's view of the PT is most agree it enhances The Emperor a lot and makes the ROTJ scenes work even better.

[AnneFan]

Just watched the Anikan vs Obi Wan fight at the end of ROTS on Youtube. First time I've watched it in a while. And regardless of whether or not Anakin's descent to the dark side is believable, the scene holds power for me. I think the tone and occasion was met. The setting, the music and putting yourself in Obi-Wan's shoes. It would be heartbreaking. The melancholy look on Ewan's face straight after cutting Anakin's legs is perfect. How he lays his soul bare about loving him as a brother, knowing he's not talking to that same person. Walking away with nothing but now distant memories, and the saber he'll one day give to Luke.

Nothing for this dude to break a sweat over. Intricate to any regular all powerful Jedi/Sith/cosmic ruler but childs play to the guy who could dance circles around the entire Galactic senate and the future Darth Vader in his sleep, while giggling excessively. :woot:

My view of the PT is it transitions from worthless to good over the course of 3 films leaving the overall trilogy as a bit of a disappointment in terms of supporting the original. That said there is a tonne of cool stuff, they're still Star Wars & quite rewatchable. Across all the films Anakin has the most important arc but the Emperor's is right up there. Obi Wan also enhances his ANH scenes with his activities in the PT.

ROTS as a whole is great if you take out romantic scenes and General Grievous. I think the impact of the film would have met what fans expected if it had had the support from the earlier 2 films (TPM mainly).

[craigdbfan]

I thought General Grievous was one of the highlights of the film not a downfall. :(

[Iceman]

I thought General Grievous was one of the highlights of the film not a downfall. :(Rather than 'take out' I should have said 'make as cool as should have been'. He's a 4-armed cyborg Jedi-Hunter. He really should have been as awesome as the Sith Lords Maul, Dooku etc. I was looking for a 9 or 10 & I got like a 6.8.

I wanted him to be scary & intense but some comedy elements lessened that for me. I also wanted to see some crazy multi-limbed fighting skills (like Kali from Golden Voyage of Sinbad) with 4 light sabers especially given how good Darth Maul was with a double-bladed light saber. I can see how he could be a highlight for others but I guess my expectations were too high for him before the film.

[CConn]

I've always kinda felt Lucas hurt the overall quality of all the villains by having them all only appear in one movie.

If they could've had Sidious, Maul, and Grevious in all 3 movies, it would've been awesome.

[craigdbfan]

That would have been pretty great.

[Iceman]

I've always kinda felt Lucas hurt the overall quality of all the villains by having them all only appear in one movie.

If they could've had Sidious, Maul, and Grevious in all 3 movies, it would've been awesome.Agreed. And maybe that's why Dooku is my favourite prequel-specific villain with just that little extra development.

[Angel_Faerie]

Sideous did appear in all 3 prequel movies

[CConn]

That's not what I meant. :o

I actually really like the PT but it definitely causes plenty of discussions right down to a simple one like Grievous in ROTS lol. I agree on it enhancing Obi Wan. :up:

That's not what I meant. :o

You're killing that smiley Chris. :( You mean you would have liked Sideous in his full Sithness over the three movies?

[CConn]

Hah.

I meant, it would've been cool to see all three (or four, if you count Dooku) all together for 3 movies.

I prefer Sidious's more demoir version of himself.
