I guess I'll continue with Revenge of the Sith.They aren't great, but aren't as bad as I remember. The greenscreening and CGI, though, has dated terribly.Anyway, questions. Well, some questions and some observations.1. Queen Padme Amidala has Kiera Knightly pretend to be her, while she disguises herself as a handmaiden called.... Padme? She's as bad at subterfuge as Bond, James Bond!2. What IS that giant room next to the hangar where they fight Darth Maul? Is it the spare walkway storage area for excess walkways? It's in the stone palace/hangar complex, just through a door, and it's this cavernous metal room, clearly bigger on the inside, filled with precarious walkways and some random laser doors which turn on and off sequentially for... reasons? And then a room with a giant hole in it because why wouldn't you have a room with a giant hole in it? Seriously, what IS this room?3. I still to this day don't really understand Palpatine's plan. If you own both a giant clone army and a giant robot army, instead of making them fight each other in a giant fake war, why not just use them both to just say "hey, I'm in charge now". Seems like a lot of effort to get to the same goal. Also why does Jango Fett leave the clone army planet and fly to the robot army planet? Just so Obi Wan can follow him because plot? I assume this means he's in on the whole thing and knows all about the fake war and the two armies and stuff, since he hangs out at both places.4. Why do the Gungans and the droids fight on the Windows XP desktop background?5. Oh my god that endless droid building factory video game level sequence in Clones hurts my eyes and my brain and my very soul.6. Why can't jedi actually use swords? They just wave them round ineffectually most of the time. I mean, I know it's all fake laser sword nonsense, but at least make it look strong! The main characters are generally OK, Mace Windu isn't great, and all the jedi in that arena just look awful like they've just been handed a plastic sword and told "try to look cool". Which they fail to do.7. Talking of which, there's one jedi with a really long 3-foot neck which seems like a massive disadvantage when your primary method of combat is swordfighting (and there's no way he's fitting in a starfighter).I'm sure I'll have more questions later after I've rewatched Return of the Revenge of the Sith: Electric Boogaloo. As I recall, that's the best of the three.</blockquote>
