Personally, I find an old man entering the room in such a way rather intimidating. I thought it was cool. Some directors might have him walk down the stairs, others might have him flip off the walls with sparklers in his hands. GL made him flip down to the floor. Is it really that important?The original trilogy would have been just as fx-heavy if Lucas had the time, money, and technology back in 77. Agreed. Wasn't as bad as the previous films tho, so it wasn't a deal-breaker for me.There was a debate earlier in the thread (or was it another thread entirely?) that Palps was indeed doing just that: playing the victim. Nice move, I would say. At this point, I think Anakin was more interested in preserving Palpatine's knowledge  (the power to save Padme)  rather than who was more evil. I guess this kind of stuff doesn't bother me anymore. The fx and makeup seemed fine to me- I only notice it when fx are horrible. *shrug*.This is one of my few gripes with the movie. Even though it was a long time coming, his final flip to the darkside was a bit abrupt. But as for sparing the children to be raised as guards or sith trainees or whatever, I figure the Emperor would have been annoyed. "What is this? I told you to not hesitate and to show no mercy. Kill them." Then again, I didn't help write the script. None of us did.Hmm. I suppose your right. But even though Jedi are quite skilled, they aren't infallible. They make mistakes, especially if they lack the experience of a Jedi Master. I think that was one of the points of that scene, even if it wasn't executed the way a more experienced director would have done it. At any rate, I like the scene; its one of the many scenes that I can't seem to get out of my head.Meh.  Voice sounded as low as a squeaky young man could go. If he went too low, it would almost sound like parody. I got the impression that Vaders menacing voice is mostly generated by his mask.Agreed, i suppose. Many people have issues with this scene because it doesn't jive with the scene with Luke and Leia in RotJ. It would have been nice if she had lived for a little while,  went to live on Alderan, then maybe the TV series could have shown her ultimate fate. However, if she had turned up alive later, it would expose Palps false assertion of her death and would undermine his control over Vader. Also, If she had lived a bit longer, the twins existance may have been discovered by Vader, who doesn't seem to know of them until later in the series. That might have caused bigger continuity problems than we have now. Anyway, GL decided to off her at the end if Ep III, so there isn't much we can do about it now, unless he decides to fiddle with the scene in the DVD release.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I liked the "NOOO". Totally worked for me. And if I had brand new cybernetic legs, It would take me a few moments to get used to them as well. I think pounding the floor into scrap would be a bit over-the-top; he's Darth Vader, not The Hulk. But like I said, we didn't make the film. Maybe we ENworlders should make our own Star Wars flik? What say you guys?Mine: V, IV, III, VI, II, I.</blockquote>
