Same here, it just looked silly with little wizened old Yoda leaping about the place.
Exactly!Squiffy said:In fact its when he walks around leaning on a stick that I find it somewhat unrealistic.
Brogan said:Exactly!
If he can do that during a fight then why does he appear so old and feeble normally and requires a stick and assistance to get up out of chairs?

How does one persons dislike of a particular film or scene spoil it for everyone else?syfodyas said:always a few naysayers who want to spoil starwars for everyone else.

This is a forum; a place where people are allowed to post their opinions on something.
Surely the same applies to you?syfodyas said:I meant starwars - this is a hate thread and the prequels, although not perfect do not deserve such hate.
Of course people can post their opinions but this negativity concerning the prequels and Lucas' changes to the original trilogy irritates me and does spoil the excitement of the DVDs and anticipating episode 3 for true starwars fans.
I'll raise my point again, if you hate the prequels so much, dont pay to see them or buy the dvds, but I'd bet my house that you will all be first in line come may 19th 2005.
bjd said:Interesting quotes from Anthony Daniels:
"The first film spoke to everyone on the planet. It still works as a funny, bright movie. It still has legs," he said of the films by U.S. director George Lucas.
When Lucas returned to the pre-quels, Daniels was not so sure.
"George's devotion to digital effects over-balanced the films. Too many digital funky characters become a little bit wearing. The storytelling always gets subsumed."

John-D said:Only problem i have with the slave stuff, is that he had so much time on his hands. He built Pod-Racers, Robots, wood carvings, working on a scanner, to find the boobie traps in the rest of the slaves, being nice and helping people.
Come on, slave my rump!
But the biggest rubbish was him flying a Starfighter...gimme a break!
only good thing was Darth Maul.
Lucas should of fitted in the P.T with the O.T. not the other way around.

I wonder how much planning go .
See my comments about a video game.syfodyas said:Can you then elaborate on why exactly you do not find the clone war batte
I dont know if you've done any fencing or weapon-style martial arts, but when someone attacks it has to be percieved and then reacted against and then defended. All too often hollywood fights have the defender moving to block unrealistically early - hence you can tell its obviously choreographed. Then there is keeping a decent flow and variety of traded blows, plus cinematography/style/etc the actual filming of a scene can be done different ways. In my mind the fight failed on so many levels it was almost laughable, well at the least its so non-descript my brain hasnt bothered to record the details. But when you compare it to a really well scripted and well-fought movie fight scene it really pales totally.and the battle between Anakin/Dooku exciting?
Yes, run and hide. Trolling on forums (re: you vs Brogan was it?) is always sad; i'm glad you are enthusiatic about Star Wars in general, and apparently Ep 3 and the two othrer prequels, but others should be allowed to share an opinion that differs. Such is what forums are made up of, one doesnt have to keep posting till a thread is beaten to death or people agree with a certain point of view.Way more exciting than something like the battle of hoth or even the death star trench run (runs for cover!)

No you appear to be trolling because i reply reasonibly and with comprehensive statements (see above) and all you can reply with is attacks on myself. Also i was particularly referencing a bout of exchanges between yourself and Brogan on another thread. Sure looked less like discussion and more like inflamatary comments posted needlessly. It would be better if you responded to peoples statements in, like, a conversation. For example you could have replied: "I see that you think X about this battle, however i like the artistic merit... etc" Thats called a discussion.syfodyas said:Im trolling because I enjoyed the prequels? Go figure.. I really cant stand people like you, yes you are entitled to your opinion but you cant accuse those whose differ of trolling.
Ahh so two posts and you can anaylse me completely. I obviously do like Star Wars, have watched them (and therefore paid money), since i've bothered to post on a Star Wars Forum in a Star Wars discussion. I think you're over confident in you ability to judge people- as you are largely wrong.[ranty bits deleted] if you hate it so much you really have no place being there. [more ranty bits deleted] People like you are largely upset just because [psycho-anaylsis deleted] you are ****** that [ditto]-you arent even willing to give any of the new characters a chance.
Unlike you i have never said not to express yourself.You are entitled to your opinion but so am I.
beecee said:well it all started to go wrong when George decided to direct them himself.....and write the screenplay, oh and let ILM go nuts with CGI.
to improve it!
remove Jar Jar and all the gungans, any reference to mediclorians (spelling!!!) calm down on the CGI and use men in suits, i mean EVERY clone trooper was CG....for the close up scenes they could have had at least them with real actors.

iZed said:If you wish to discuss the technical merits, quality of dialogue, themes behind the movies and so on please respond - i'd be especially interested if you want to reply to my comments on why i thought the light-sabre battles in ep 1, 2 and 3 are worse than 4, 5 and 6. I shall not bother to reply to more attacks, or judgemental views about myself.
syfodyas said:Nonsense.
Jar Jar is no more anooying than Chewie and kids love Jar Jar..
Have to disagree with you there.syfodyas said:Jar Jar is no more anooying than Chewie
And that's the problem.and kids love Jar Jar..
