Star Wars

[Asteroid-Man]

The character's look a little better. They still need to work on the hair, and I thought Ashoka was out of continuity, and now they have Obi-Wan fight Grievous BEFORE their supposed first meeting in ROTS?

Don't worry, I'm sure Lucas will fix that in the next edition of Revenge of the Sith on DVD.

The characters will all have hard surfaced hair. They are supposed to have the appearance of wooden (Thunderbirds) puppets. It's a style you either like or you don't. Which I do. BTW rendering hair takes alot of time and is very expensive, especially for TV.

Much prefer the animation of the show. Far more polished, with some real life to the characters.

As to the continuity problems. The only problem you would have with a Grievous/Obi-Wan is if he uses his extra arms. It doesn't take some special Jedi art to swing a lightsaber.

In EP 3 it seems like Grievous and Obi-Wan know each other when they meet on the Bridge of the Invisible Hand,so i don´t see a continuity problem.

And yes the Show looks great.

Several of my favorite moments:

When Vader's mask slowly comes down and seals in ROTS. I remember the first time I saw that I involuntarily held my breath and realized I breathed out at exactly the same time he did.

I agree with you on this one. I got chills when i first saw this scene in ROTS, and i still watch it now and think it's amazing. That first breath was just a powerful moment t:

 

[SuperBatman]

So is it probably a good idea to see this movie before the New Series starts?

Incidentally, another is when the mask finally comes off. Father and son truly look at each other for the first time.

I LOVE when Luke pauses during the end celebration in ROTJ and steps over to the side, and Anakin appears alongside Yoda and Obi.

personally i got chills right before Anakin vs. Obi-Wan. watching Anakin's world come crashing down (with Hayden actually giving a good performance) and hearing Obi-Wan shout his ideals gives me goosebumps every time i watch it.

 

[The Navigator]

A beautiful scene, RUINED by Lucas's meddling!

The real version, with the late and great British thespian Sebastian Shaw:

And then, the evil, CG doctored up version that Lucas farted out with his laptop:

There are are two places in the special edition trilogy where I will actually say Lucas RUINED something with his digital "retouches": making Greedo shoot first, dubbing Boba's voice over with Jango's voice, and THIS. Just look at Hayden's face: it's like he's saying "What, you thought some things were sacred? Guess again, muhahahah!"

Watching that, I figured Luke would be wondering who that hippy was standing next to Yoda.

The EU novels seemed to imply that lightsabers were "tricky" to swing, probably because the blade has no weight. But I think it's a mistake to have a droid weild a lightsaber anyway.

Grievious isn´t a Droid,his Brain,Eyes,Heart and Nervsystem is Alien......he´s some kind of cyborg like Vader.

Oh, that's right. Sorry, it's been awhile since I saw Ep. 3.

 

[GhostPoet]

I'm convinced Lucas isn't even real...he's 100% CGI with some sort of crazed artificial intelligence.

 

[Astrø]

Millenium Falcon > Walking

I do like LOTR too, though.

Jedi > Elves

LOTR was a great story line better than episodes 1-3 of Star Wars to me, but no were close to New Hope and 5 and 6.

I watched Episode I for the first time in a while tonight. It reaffirmed 2 things-- 1) it is the weakest link in the saga, and 2) most of my frustration in the film was fixated around Jar Jar and his "Jar Jar-isms." I wish that on the Blu-Ray release, Lucas would give us the option to watch a re-cut version without the Jar-Jar-isms, like the Phantom Edit. But alas, he's no where near cool enough to do that, nor does he have a sense of humor when it comes to his mistakes.

My ultimate "special edition" of Episode 1 would contain the scene below.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Thats hilarious. I want that to be in the movie. *sighs*

Would you mean A.I contained on a commodore 64? His scripts and character dialog indicate to me he would need no more processor power than that.

New images from the show. I remember reading Dave Filoni saying their biggest challenge was the lighting. Well it looks like they suceeded, way the heck better than the 3 episode pilot that was on the big screen.

Holy crap that was great. Did he really die in that scene or was it edited?

Wow. Those pics looked great. Kinda weird that some screens from a tv show would look so much better then the film version that came out only a month earlier. I may check this out and hope that I just get used to the hair.

Just an edited scene

Gasp! Trying to establish continuity! The fiends!

Another piece of messed-up continuity. In the 1977 original, Lucas told the actors the lightsabers were very heavy, "like Excalibur." And you can see this in the movie, and in Empire as well. As the movies have gone on, they've gotten progressively lighter and faster, to the point where the gimmicks (Maul's double-blader saber, Grevious using four at light speed) have come in to replace great choreography and the give-and-take drama of a great sword fight.

It's not, 'trying to establish continuity', it's messing up a superior, earlier work in order to force it inline with a lesser modern one.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Plus it doesn't really make any sense.
