Right; he hadn't perfected it; hence his body didn't disappear. I figure Anakin had a leg-up on the situation since he was the Chosen One--if we believe he was conceived by midichlorians he was half-Force to begin with, something no other Jedi could claim. That combined with being at peace for...

I agree with Paul's points for the most part, even though I still like ROTS and for the most part the whole saga. As for why "the son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi", obviously Palpy fears him, not because he's one possible Jedi, but the son of Anakin, the most powerful Jedi Palpy had...

I try not to compare BB and ROTS too much because they're so different. My father preferred BB. Initially, he seemed really blown away by ROTS, but now he says he'll never like that one because he doesn't like the way it ends. Well, there's not much that could be done about that is there? He did...

While I was working out this morning (maybe it's the posters on the wall) I was thinking about how well Ep. III patches up some of the "holes" created by the PT and even the OT to some extent. A lot of PT detractors harped on the fact that the prophecy was never mentioned in the OT. (It WAS...

Here we go. The "Better Now" lyrics: Oh I'm newly calibrated All shiny and clean I'm your recent adaptation Time to redefine me Let the word out I've got to get out Oh I'm feeling better now Break the news out I've got to get out Oh I'm feeling better now Oh I'm happy as Christmas...

I will resurrect this thread. Does anyone else think of Darth Vader when they hear Collective Soul's "Better Now"? Or am I just that crazy? I think there's a great fan music video to be made there. Listen to the song some time and imagine the newly re-born Darth Vader.

Was just thinking about how Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship goes from a father-son relationship in AOTC to a brotherly relationship in ROTS. Like the American Civil War, the galactic civil war gets to turn "brother against brother."

Yes, I appreciated the "Raiders" reference as well.

"Only a fully trained Jedi with a beard as an ally can conquer Vader and his Emperor.":)

That's why I used to point the finger at Yoda. I don't think OBW would have had a problem with the top Jedi Master training the Chosen One himself. Seems like a fitting duty to me. If the boy was to be trained no matter what, why not step up and see that the job is done right instead of tempting...

I know Ewan liked the script from the get-go, far better than the other PT films. He was great in AOTC; I think Lucas really worked on writing for his strongest character and actor when it came time for ROTS. Ewan can pull off pure junk if he has to, but if you give him something half-decent to...

Did I ever mention Arnold? Rambo was Sylvester Stallone. And he didn't look like he was pumped full of roids in First Blood. Obviously, Arnold Schwarzenegger is bigger than Anakin. IMDB lists him as 6'2" and of course he is or has been MASSIVE. I don't think anyone expected Anakin to look like...

Pfff. Don't even get me started on Tobey Maguire. Another midget. Hayden maybe looked like him AFTER Tobey put on the padded suit, provided the suit also made him half a foot taller.:) But, at least you specified Spidey 1 since Tobey looked far more pathetic in 2 thanks to Seabiscuit. I...

Yeah; my friend and I were laughing at him in ESB after having just watched ROTS. "He's no Anakin," we said. The thing about Anakin is he had a lot of power, but could also move like a much smaller person and not tire easily. He had the strength of the big guys and the speed and agility of...

I forgot all about 'ol Mace. Same thing happened in the Batman movies when they had decent-sized Batmen. They put Ed Begley Jr. next to Kilmer in BF and Liam Neeson next to Christian Bale in BB. At least it gave Bale someone challenging to fight.

Hayden is usually listed as 6'1". He was far from scrawny in ROTS which is probably why they stuck that shirt-off scene in there. He gained 25 lbs for the role. Christopher Lee is 6'4" so HE is taller. Jimmy Smits is also a BIG dude. IMDB lists him as 6'3". I think they actually list Lee as...

Just about every viewing was different for me sound-wise. On opening day I lucked out. The sound was turned up, and there was some big booming bass, quite noticeable in the opening battle. The fidelity was not excellent, though, possibly just the acoustics at that theater. For other...

It was not "added". It just "happened.":) Perhaps it was the will of the Force.

There has been a lot of time to fix-up TPM, but whether or not it's happened.... Supposedly they were testing out CGI Yoda by replacing the TMP puppet, so at least those changes to TPM should be completed. But, after the OT debacle, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything just yet. Seemed like...

On November 1st, the circle will be complete on DVD.

What would have happened if Anakin, er Vader had asked Obi-Wan to join him in destroying Palpatine? He had already decided he was going to overthrow him eventually. Obi-Wan could have double-teamed Palpy with Anakin, and then turned against him once he was destroyed. Of course, in the...

I went to see ROTS a fifth time last weekend, fearing it would be the last week it would be around. Turns out it's still out this weekend, just on one screen as it was. Was a smaller screen, but I've actually found I prefer that. Easier to take in and the picture quality is better...

He hurls Grievous, though, after the extreme-close-up "I don't think so. HYA!" So cool.

That came up in the other thread too. Cool as that might have been, I imagine Lucas wanted to keep the two fights going on at the same time as different as possible. Keep OB1 and Vader's fight mostly physical saber action, and Palpy and Yoda's about Force powers. Would have been a little odd to...

True; it's definitely Anakin's lesson. I have to tell myself that pain or pain-killers are what hold Vader back once he's in the suit. Grievous was sure pretty agile with that robotic body. I assumed the Force was not strong with him. Would Vader have been better off if just his head were...

As I pointed out in the other thread, Sidious was correct, but not the way he thought. Vader thanks to his, em, accident, may not have become more powerful, physically, than Sidious or Yoda, but he was a more powerful INFLUENCE on Luke than either one. Luke didnt listen to OB1 or Yoda when it...

I noticed the "pointy sabers" since the first viewing. Wonder if they'll become rounded in the future or all the other films will change? Gives them an excuse to fix all the lightsaber problems in the OT DVD's without admitting to them. "We had to go back and make them pointy" as opposed to "We...

Well, you know that if Lucas hadn't put that earlier shot of the droid in there, someone would have griped about how convenient it was that it appeared for Anakin to jump on later in the battle. As for droids delivering Padme's babies, medical droids have been the norm since the beginning of...
