I'll agree with that, it was the best of the 3...Kinda sad though, cause now you know Darth Vader, and how he came to be...Makes him not as menacing or something...

Or it makes you think how could someone turn that bad? You see his life and how he was before and it makes you sad that he turned evil

I thought that it was pretty good from the beginning M8..! Right into the starfight...Though, they did harp on the little fucking robots too long...But you're right, Obi Wan is like...The baddest Jedi ever...

And they definitely did a better job this go round showing Anakin's skills...Kid dealt with Count Dooku (I want that light saber) with the quickness...

The lightsaber battles were the most impressive in any of the movies.

Ewan MacGrgor is the only person in the whole damn movie playing his character. Obi wan is the only character to watch.

The death of mace windu was crap, as was the conversion of Anakin.

The. dialogue. is. atrocious.

The boy playing anakin is quoted as saying he is leaving hollywood to pursue his dream of being an architect, which is a way of saying "I realize I will never get work in film again."

NOW - I am glad that the sith sitch angel wasn't played the way I read it in the plot pitch, but I have the biggest complaint of ALL... WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH QUI GON JINN STEALING BEN KENOBI's FIRE? Obi wan kenobi is the jedi who became immortal by sacrifice.. Yoda telling Obi Wan that Qui Gon Jinn has figured out how to become pure Force is the worst discredit to Obi Wan Kenobi, and Star Wars.

I was ready to take back most of what I said bad about this movie, until that moment Yoda gave him his "homework." Fuck, qui gon Jinn isn't even there at the end of Return of the Jedi.

5 of the worst elements of the movie (in no certain order):

1. War! the dialogue is atrocious.

2. Qui Gon Jinn Stealing Obi Wan's fire. (My personal #1)

3. Darth Vader's "emergence" where he screams NOOOOO! cause Padme is dead was the cheesiest thing I have seen in a while.

4. Mace Windu's entire character

5. the term "younglings"

One thing that makes it all better:

Cassia Riley

I agree...The movie was good, but there were so many sore spots...You're right, Obi Wan is the Jedi wrecking shit, be he was consistently given the sucker move, as in him being unconscious when Anakin killed Dooku, but I guess that was a play off the Phantom Menace...

Some of the shit Anakin was saying at the end was so off beat...He was like, we can rule the galaxy and all that shit...But he wasn't talking like that earlier...Anakin's character wasn't cocky enough or some shit...He should have been a badass, yet I was left kind of feeling sorry for him...In the pit when he caught on fire, I was thinking, "Damn, that's fucked up," instead of "That's what his ass gets...!"

But, I definitely enjoyed the movie, I can't lie about that...I wasn't expecting much after the first one, but it is still the best in its genre, and I can not think of a sci fi movie to place above Star Wars as a whole...

Yeah, saw the movie last night. Impressive, but I have to share your comments. Dialogue is bad, Obi Kicked ass.

Now the sad part is that it is over, Nothing to look forward to anymore

Do you think they are going to make 7-9?

I am hoping they do...But I hope that they do it animated, like the first part of the Animatrix, or the Pixar films...That will REALLY be great, and give us the creative edge we expect from Star Wars stuff...They should first decided on a story, second, let Lucas do anything except direct and write, and three do it fast...We should be seeing episode 7 by mid to late 2007...They really need to complete teh story, and tell teh story and legacy of the Jedi in the last three...
