[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 2812541, member: 7737"] RangerWickett, don't you think your plot synopses are a wee bit biased? Anakin does nothing useful [b]except[/b] save the day? What the heck? You can argue that his slapstick method of saving the day was lame, but he did save the day, and by definition, that's useful. If Anakin had not destroyed the droid control ship, Padme's and Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon's efforts would have been wasted. I also take issue with [b]lukewarm villains[/b]. Maul was not lukewarm. And even the Trade Federation was kind of neat, with their seemingly endless supply of droids. How about, "bad guy has complex, Machiavellian plot to take over galaxy. He subtly manipulates events to make it happen. It is a dark time for the Rebell-- er, the Republic. Meanwhile, one of the queen's knights (Obi-Wan) seeks out lost knowledge and fights a villain (Jango Fett) whose son will later resurfance as a thorn in the Rebellion's side. Meanwhile, the boy with magical powers falls in love with a princess. (Horribly written and acted, but certainly a reasonable -- even necessary -- part of the story.) It ends in a climactic battle in which many knights die, and the power shifts in favor of the bad guy. Surrounded by stressful situations which he is too immature to handle, and played upon by the conniving bad guy, the young boy reluctantly succumbs to evil. The remaining knights might have saved the boy had they not been blinded by their desire to use him against the bad guy. In a climactic battle, the young boy -- now fully turned to evil -- tragically kills the princess before being (almost) mortally wounded by the great knight. But the good guys have (temporarily) lost, and the two remaining knights -- one old, one young -- withdraw in disgrace. The bad guy cackles evilly.... [/QUOTE]
