Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

[Nonskimmer]

Have any of you seen this movie yet? My wife and I saw it last night, and if you're a Star Wars fan like me you might love it or you might be a tiny bit disappointed with it.
Overall I thought it was great, but I felt that a few parts were wrapped up a little too quickly. Especially the last ten minutes or so.

In short, I thought it was a good movie but I was disappointed with the ending. It looked rushed.
Oh well. Back to real life.

Havent seen this new one Skim I will probably get it on DVD to complete the set but to be honest I thought the first three where by far the best the last two where commercial dross Princess Leah sitting next too Jabber in a bikini is a classic image

I'd like to see it but chances are I won't be able to until it is released on DVD.

All six of the Star Wars movies are great IMO, but now the original three look so dated when compared to the latest batch. Not surprising considering that the originals were made in the late '70's/early '80's, but if you watch them in the proper order it looks kind of funny.
Take the lightsabre duels for example. In Episodes I through III they're very fast paced and realistic looking, while in Episodes IV through VI the choreography is lousy. They look so slow, almost like dance steps.


Do I sound geeky enough yet?

Interesting.

Tastes like chicken.

[Nonskimmer]

Probably more like teddy bear. Too bad they don't really exist. I'd like to hunt them for sport.
I wouldn't eat them, 'coz they'd probably taste like ****.

Heh... It just remembered me of a joke Lucas Arts put at the end of one of the "X-Wing VS TIE Fighter" missions... It's a little hard to tell it (because it is mostly visual) but it was quite funny. For those who own the game, it's the Imperial training mission called "Warhead Interception"... or as I call it : "The Ewok Pizzas Mission".

Concerning the movies, I will probably wait and buy Episode III when it come out on video.

I watched Episode I (for the fourth time) and II (for the first time) last week-end at CBC. Nice movies.

I'm a great Star Wars fan, and I agree on a point : lightsaber duels are "hotter" in Episode I and II. But, personnally, I prefer space battles from the 1997 remake of Episode IV, V and VI. Especially the Death Star II battle at Endor in Return Of The Jedi.

A fun fact : the guy who plays Obi-Wan Kennobi in Episodes I, II & III (Ewan McGregor) is the nephew of Dennis Lawson, the guy who played Wedge Antilles in Episodes IV, V & VI.

By the way, there is a thing I don't understand of the movies... Why does Obi-Wan let Darth Vader kill him so easily in Episode IV ? Was it to allow Luke to escape faster or is there an other reason that I don't see ?

[Nonskimmer]

Beats me.

One trivial little thing that gives me a small chuckle about Episode I is that here you have Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor, an Irishman and a Scotsman respectively, both faking English accents. Oh, the irony!

[Maestro]

Yeah, that's ironic.

It's like Sean Connery, he is Scottish but he almost always played British characters.

That reminds me... This afternoon, my father asked me to call a company in Texas for him (because he doesn't speak a damned word of English). And I realized that, in spite of my hard work to lose my accent, I still speak English with the same GOD DAMNED French accent. Give me a text and I'll be able to speak with a British, American, German or (of corse) a French accent. But tell me to improvise and I can't lose my French accent... That's weird...

[Nonskimmer]

Why do you want to lose it?
