Yeah. But I still don't think Maul really works as a Sith Lord. The double bladed Saber was keen though.

Agreed.

Flaws like Darth Vader's red lightsaber always bothered me, as did Luke's staying one consistent color throughout the first film. Also the lack of really out-of-place and poorly done CGI creatures occasionally blocking the frame used to rub me the wrong way but we can color that problem fixed. I wish Hayden was in the OT more often. Talk about PRESENCE man!

Presence.

Ok, now I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Especially with the Anakin part.

Agreed bro! :rock:

No. Sebastian Shaw's Anakin has always had a nickname in fandom of "Humpty Dumpty".

Plus him appearing in that form never made any sense. The altered version works much better.

It fits the mythology of the films better. And as Yoda said, "Luminous Beings are we, not this crude matter".

Anakin doesn't appear bald, scarred, and missing limbs. Obi-Wan isn't cut in half. So why would Anakin choose to appear as a man he doesn't recognize. Plus it fits Obi-Wan's "point of view" that Anakin did die when he became Darth Vader. He was nothing more than a walking corpse kept alive by machines. Hence why when fireed of the shell he was trapped in, he manifested in the force as the man he once was. Makes perfect sense. If the force ghost isn't restricted by what the shape the body was in life, why would Anakin be constrained by the crude matter of his corpse.

Don't talk about Beast that way here, he's a celebrity here now :D

Well I should say you have a point. But if it's the OT alone, Shaw works better IMO

ide take Darth Maul over Jar Jar anyday...

Agreed. Phantom Menace is boring. Obi-Wan doesn't do anything. Qui-Gon makes terrible decisions. The jedi are either super-powered or not powered at all depending on the scene. And Kenobi defeats Maul using the same move that apparently was so easy to take down Anakin in Sith. Whaaaaa?

I'm done arguing. I'm not a huge OT only guy. I just realize that there are problems with the PT. Having Anakin be the center of the universe was a big mistake. He's not Jesus. He's a dude who made some bad decisions and ended up sacrificing all of his morals for power.

That's Anakin Skywalker as told by Obi-Wan Kenobi in IV. That's the Anakin Skywalker I wanted to see in I-III. Now that scene in IV just comes across as truly false. Why would Anakin be a good friend if the last time you saw him he choked his wife and screamed "I HATE YOU!" while taking a lava bath. I would have PTSD if anyone asked me to talk about Anakin. I'd be on more drugs than the Homeless Man with the Golden Voice.

I also realize that there's bad dialogue in the OT. Luke gets irritating in the early section of IV and a bit too authoritative around the rebels when he's supposed to be the new guy. The attack on Endor is a big mess and I don't believe that the Teddy Bear Vietcong could so easily take down a single AT-ST let alone several. Especially if this is supposed to be the same army that decimated the Jedi. :rolleyes:

So, in summary. The series has some big faults. It's still fun to watch, so let's enjoy September 2011.

Also, Beast, you really don't need to be jumping down the throats of everybody that calmly says they would like the OOT in HD. It's very rude. Just keep those comments to yourself. We all get the idea that any edit other than the most recent one is "that which we don't speak of."

:D

Are we sharing the same brain?

WorkShed,

They are shown as good friends in spots of Episode II and the first half of Episode III. We can tell that they are...

Except it setup the wrong universe: midichlorians anyone?:dizzy2:

Yes. We're starring in the upcoming remake of All Of Me. :D

Indeed, completely destroyed what makes the force special. Then again they continued to do that through out the other newer movies, having hundreds of Jedi that all got their asses kicked.

Say what? Midichlorians was just a fancy way of saying the "Force is strong in your family..." Correlation is not causation.

I am done with arguing, so I am asking an actual question since you bring up the first part of III... what the hell is a ray shield? I was always confused by that moment in III where they get trapped. It only showed up in that one scene and nowhere else in the entire series.

You should read the rather interesting thesis out there on them.

But people seem to be confused and think they are the force. Which seems to be what causes the issues.

It explains how the force can be strong in Anakin's family for instance. Among other things.

Plus it is a metaphor for the symbiotic relatationships present in the film. Such as with the Naboo and Gungans.

I don't think he's trolling, I think he's just giving his opinion. I for one think the change of Boba Fett's voice in the OT was pretty cool. Others feel differently.

To Wookieeepedia!
Also don't you remember A New Hope? Re: The Exhaust Port - Gen. Jan Dodonna: "The shaft is ray shielded, so you'll have to use Proton Torpedos."

Hahaha I guess you have never seen ROTJ harrison ford phoned it in because he really did not want to do the movie thats why he was frozen in carbonite in Empire.
