My Thoughts During RotS [SPOILERS]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that he runs away *a lot*!

Mace Windu commented to Palpatine about General Grievous' nack for running away, so it's an intentional part of the character.

Natalie Portman has never looked hotter!

Dude, there were 4 good things about Attack of the Clones:
- Yoda's fight
- Clone troopers in space Hueys smelling napalm in the morning
- Padme in her white outfit
- Padme in her TORN white outfit

Much hotter in 2 was she . . . but always pretty hot, yes, yes.

And one more thing . . .

My thought at the end of my second viewing:

Hehe, Jar-Jar survived. Lucas gave us all back-seat-driver nerds the finger by not giving him a gorey death scene. Good for Lucas!

 

[Agamon]

Losing the will to live is a perfectly acceptable event in Star Wars melodrama. What bugs me is that Lucas hits us over the head with it by having the droid say it!. A simple "she'd fading" would have said exactly the same thing, in a much more dramatic and unstilted way. "Show, don't tell", Lucas, "Show don't tell."

Yeah, the same could be said for Padme's "You're braking my heart!" statement. Duh! They made the movie PG13, but a lot of the dialogue was written for 5-year olds.

Awesome movie, despite that and a few other things.

True, but I guess my surprise comes not from the fact that he lives up to his character as described by Windu, but that anyone would willingly follow such a complete coward into battle, knowing he won't be there to see the thing through when it gets sticky.

So your surprised that droids would follow him into battle...?

He had NO living troops. And if you pay attention, you'll see the Separatist leaders weren't exactly happy with him running away all the time.

Waiting for someone to bring that up.

I guess, but it seems to me they could have found someone else, then. They are the Trade Federation, after all- you'd think they would have some fundage to hire a new general.

Anyway, it doesn't really bother me all that much. I really liked the movie. I just was having fun pointing out some quirky little bits that struck me funny.

Well, with Grievous the Banking Guild MADE him. At least sort of. After forcing him into an 'accidental' shuttle crash, they made the droid body for him. Of course, they ALSO made him a bit more controllable.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Does anyone out there play Star Wars Galaxies? Because I'm really curious if there's a cybernetics profession in that game? After this movie, I think that would be the perfect niche market to make a fortune in...

I thought Vader's "Noooo" was kinda silly, made me laugh inside.

I would think that the Empire still used clones, but maybe they tried a new model (err donor) and the technique wasn't as good (did anything happen to Kamino? But the 'hero' shield is just as good an explanation) ... supplemented with normal human recruits (I like the idea of both being around) ...

The clones turning on everyone was kinda creepy, that's serious brainwashing/programming there (I also like the idea of some rogue clones too)

I did like how changing the signal at the Jedi temple left things open for any remaining Jedi to flee and head to ground until things improve (all sorts of open plots there for SW RPG ... don't want to many Jedi to gather lest they draw the attention of Vader/Empire).


I was distracted for a moment when Bail Organa arrived at the temple, was that Jedi with him or did he come from behind the troopers trying to escape?

all in all, a good time.
