everyone says they hate the Tarzan... but deep down everyone loves it :lol:

The OT DVD & the prequels

That whole fucking piece of shit homage to "The Sound of Music" scene in AOTC.

Worst part of the saga.

"You know how sometimes when you make a copy of a copy it doesn't come out quite as...sharp?"

One thing thats always bugged me is that when Anakin tells Padme about his slaughter of the Tuskens she doesnt freak out. I know If I came home one day and told my g/f i just slaughtered a tribe she wouldnt be best pleased

another fucking post deleted? you guys are no fun. I thought mf.com was drama friendly. superfriends.

Seeing Obi-Wan get 'OWNED' so easily by Count Dooku after we've all seen how amazing he is at dueling in TPM is also a low point.

Many of these complaints I can understand or sympathize with, but what was wrong with the confession scene on Hayden's part? That was his strongest scene in the movie, I felt.

From the OT: 1. Lando, Han- "Good luck." "You too" Fuck off. 2. Tarzan... ugh.. 3. "But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters.." Wah wah.... 4. Almost every time a stormtrooper got hit with a rock. 5. Nien Numb.. Mushmouth of the galaxy? 6. Too many shots of Luke getting into the speeder and getting out of the speeder. 7. Stormtroopers are just so gaddamn stupid! 8. Officers arent much brighter! 9. Why doesnt anyone stop Luke, Han, and Leia while they are traipsing around the Death Star. Don't even get me started on the seven foot Wookie.... 10. Everything in ROTJ after Jabba and up to Luke/Vader/Emperor From the PT: 1. Anaking in TPM 2. Jar Jar in TPM. 3. 2 Jedi against 1 Sith and they get whooped? I'm all for creative license but... 4. 3PO in the last half hour or so of the movie. Is it really necessary to work him in everywhere? 5. Obi-Wan can destroy hundreds of droids all shooting at him, but he gets a whoopin from one bounty hunter... 6. Anakin tells Padme about the Tuskan slaughter and she doesn't freak out? My girlfrind doesnt even like to hear stories about bugs I've stepped on... 7. Padme in AOTC's final battle. Everyones got a lightsaber and shes gotta gun. Jedi are dropping like marshmellow fluff on William Atherton but she stays standing? 8. The green dude that's jumps up to confront Dooku in the area and gets whacked by Fett. Jedi reflexes hunh? This is the "spur of the moment" list by the way. I said I loved the movies, I never said they were perfect.

Original Trilogy Rubbish CGI Stormtroopers Crappy 'cute' CGI antics in Mos Eisley The severed arm has claws, when the guy who lost it doesn't. Luke's lightsaber is knackered. Greedo shooting first. Need I say more? CGI Jabba - <comicbookguy>Worst CGI ever</comicbookguy> A hanger full of Stormtroopers suddenly appearing at the end of a corridor. Fucking Jedi Rocks... New Sarlaac beak looks rubbish. Prequel Trilogy Jar Jar Mannequin Skywalker The podrace announcers CGI Jabba Fart jokes Jar Jar C-3P0 in the droid factory - what a little bitch R2 can now fly? 'Roger roger' 'Uh oh, blast them' 'I can't feel my legs, I must need maintenance'. All of the love story dialogue The ‘American Graffiti’ scene Those are just the ones that are immediately apparent.

Hmmm, I'll go with Tarzan here too. I cringe during that bit. Much of RotJ fits into this post for me actually, but only in comparison with what was great about the first too. Jedi Rocks sucks bad. That kermit run to camera is painful. Again, the Sarlacc lost any hint of cool when it went 'little shop of horrors'. And now HC at the end just tops it all off nicely. If the Luke/Vader/Emperor confrontation wasn't so fantastic, I might not rate the film at all. Especially post-changes. Aside from that - 'Yipee', any C3PO AotC line, Jar Jar, Chewie not getting a medal, the attempt to 'rescue' Han, the '97 Wampa shots. Dogg.

What's the "jedi rocks" you guys are talking about? Mine are: 1) Chewie Tarzan 2) Fart and Scat jokes in PT 3) Stormtroopers getting knocked flat by Ewok rocks and wooden spears.

Jedi Rocks is the muppet song sequence added to SE RotJ. There are far better muppet routines they could have added... Dogg.

Author:	TheSessler [ October 8th 2004 8:45 pm ]
Post subject:
...or not added at all. Jedi Rocks is one of those awkward moments when you're watching ROTJ with a friend that you just have nothing to say. I despise it. I know there is a bloated technologically advanced military being beaten by primitive teddy-bear with a lot of spirit thing going on in ROTJ, but I wouldn't even miss a step if someone threw a rock at me when I was wearing a plastic bucket on my head. And the beak wouldn't be as bad if they didn't add that retarded sound effect, something more menacing would have made even a crappy scene tolerable once in a while.

OT: John Williams' almost mickey moused music for the Jawas; followed by the hammy first instance of the Skywalker theme. Anytime Luke whines. "You old rascal" dialogues between Han and Lando, especially before the Death Star attack in ROTJ. Ewoks Interminable speeder bike chase. PT: Jar Jar Opening wooden dialogue between Obi and Qui. ILM's disregard for logical evolution when designing characters: Wato, the race commentator, that freaking big headed pod racer guy who can't get his pod started.

What is this Sound of Music deal you speak of?

Author:	TiniTinyTony [ October 9th 2004 5:03 pm ]
Post subject:
The "Sound of Music" deal, I believe, is the Anakin/Padme picnic scene. --- The only I don't like are the bloopers. Like when Anakin looks like he is still saying something to Tarkin, because his hand is out and his body is moving. They could have editted that better. Also when Luke's lightsaber makes the shut off sound when he's running out of the wampa cave, but it's still on. In ROTJ, no 1138 reference! Booo!

Yeah, the long shots of rolling hills. It's a slow section of the movie. But I honestly do believe that it lends SOME kind of credibility to the notion of Padme falling in love with this doofus of a whiney, clearly unstable padawan.

Author:	Dogg Thang [ October 10th 2004 6:34 am ]
Post subject:
Yeah, I agree with you. It's the only scene in the movie where they actually seem to be having a bit of fun and Anakin takes a step back from his crazy, whiny, stalker psycho mode. Sure, it's a bit cheesy looking, but it has a point in my opinion. Having said that, if the romance had been handled a bit differently, scenes like that would not have been needed. Dogg.

Jar Jar - we all know why. The whole medal ceremony in ANH - cringe! Mon Mothma - I want to slap that woman, she is so full of herself. Luke getting beaten down by Vader in ESB. I wish Hamill could act in that scene. The matte boxes they left in around the TIE fighters in one of the space battle scenes in the remastered trilogy. The over-saturated colours of the new version of ANH.

Jar Jar stepping in shit, the creature that farts in Jar Jar's face, and Jar Jar acting like a complete twat in TPM in general. C-3P0 is a good example from AOTC, especially the droid factory sequences. He was always prissy in the original trilogy, but he camps it up something terrible in Clones. There are more examples, but I can't be arsed to put too much thought into it. I guess it would depend on the context. Chewie's Tarzan thing doesn't bother me because it fits in well with his usual howls and growls. If it had been Han or Luke doing it I agree, it would have sucked. Another reason I like it isbecause it's not overdone. I could almost fogive the This is such a drag' pun in AOTC, if they hadn't immediately followed it up with 'I'm quite beside myself'...

My least favorite bits include... From TPM: When Ani's little friends drop by for a few useless lines as he's fixing his pod... "Come on, let's go play ball..." From ROTJ: I never liked the "Jabba Disco" song in the 1983 release, and while I personally think "Jabba Rocks" or whatever from 97 is a little better, I still think it is completely unnecessary. Why not just cut from the band finishing the song, before Jabba says, "Play it again," and cut straight to Jabba sending the chick down the trap door. An easy 3 minutes would be cut, and nothing would be lost. The "Yub Yub" song at the end of ROTJ really pissed me off back in 83 when I was a smartass kid. I like the replacement music much more, but could still do without a few of the prancing ewoks shots...

Am I the only one who gets up and dances along to Jedi Rocks? I am? O. K. I like Jedi Rocks. I like the Sound of Music scene. I like little Anakin. I love the Ewoks. The Gungans I can bear and Jar Jar I can, too. I understand why they are there. The only truly lame thing in Star Wars, and it's actually starting to grow on me (which scares me) is: the two-headed announcer alien at the podrace in The Phantom Menace. It just looks way cartoonish to be real. : (

I hate the fact that CloneTroopers in the PT are total badasses while the StormTroopers in the OT can't hit the broadside of a barn and get their asses handed to them by mutant koalas.

I'm amazed at how much stuff I would have posted has already been said. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the utter discontinuity in look and feel between OT and PT. For me it makes the prequels that much more unwatchable simply because they don't feel like Star Wars movies. I know there's lightsabers and jedi robes and stuff, but the spaceships, actors, costume design, and sets just don't match the original. It's way too different to chalk up to thirty or forty years of progress in a thousands-of-years-old galactic republic. The shit would look the same! It's an extreme stretch to imagine Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker evolving into Darth Vader. I expected to see Darth Vader's personality emerge as the films went on, but as we all know we have a bratty kid throwing tantrums- it just doesn't flow, no matter how much I try to rationalize it. There's something cold, hard and mature about Jones/Prowse that's completely missing from Christensen. That's a huge fault with this series.

There are a lot of things I could list from ROTJ but I'll name just one thing that really chaps my ass..... -Vader's helmet suddenly becomes dull an scuffed halfway through ROTJ. One scene it's all shiny and gleaming then the next scene it looks a Voc-Tech student painted it with Krylon and then dabbed it dry with his biology homework. Just plain bad.

Probably when Anakin told Padme that she had 'grown' more beautiful. That scene makes me cringe everytime. One thing thats always bugged me is that when Anakin tells Padme about his slaughter of the Tuskens she doesnt freak out. I know If I came home one day and told my g/f i just slaughtered a tribe she wouldnt be best pleased

she's all hot for anakin, she wants a piece of ass, she doesn't care. I think she's ok with it because she thinks it was just an overreaction to a terrible incident. Now if she knew it will happen again, thats a different story.
