Dislike: Boba ruins his character because he's so poorly acted. The acting is terrible. The romance is terrible. The plot is boring. And the action is mostly uninteresting.

ROTS:
Like: Seeing Vader get the suit. Most of the Vader/Obi battle. The opening section featuring Dooku. And the actor who plays Palps/Sidious.
Dislike: NOOOOOOO. Any other instance of bad acting, which is almost everybody everywhere. Grievous. The pathetic scene where Sidious takes out two "Jedi Masters" without them breaking a sweat.

ANH:
Like: OBI-EFFING-WAN.
Dislike: ..............

ESB:
Like: Everything about the Empire. They're awesome. Seriously. They should have pwned Luke and his friends. Go Empire!
Dislike: Lando. Honestly, ever since I was a kid, I always thought he was scum. And the pacing on most of Cloud City just feels off to me.

ROTJ:
Like: The "bike chase" through the forest of Endor, and the Ewoks (while admittedly stupid) are downright hilarious.
Dislike: The too-happy-for-this-series ending.

I agree with you, 99.9 percent.

[Gaius Marius]

Here it goes:

TPM

Like: Darth Maul/Obi Wan/Qui-Gonn fight. I love this whole sequence from the moment Duel of the Fates begins (awesome track by the way!). "We'll handle this"

Dislike: Jar-Jar was annoying.

AtoC

Like: The final 30 minutes or so with the arena fight and the arrival of the Clones.

Dislike: All scenes with Anakin and Padme. Wooden romance brought down the whole movie.

RotS

Like: The rise of the Empire (Order 66, Palps taking power), and the fall of Anakin/rise of Darth Vader (except for the "NOOOOOO")

Dislike: Plot holes and inconsistencies with the OT. "She died of a broken heart"

ANH

Like: The Death Star trench run. I always liked how tense the scene was with the Death Star closing on Yavin.

Dislike: Really, nothing. I guess Luke's whining is the only thing with the OOT. However, with the SE: Greedo shooting frickin' first! Worst. Shot. Ever. He makes the stormtroopers look like snipers.

ESB

Like: Battle of Hoth. An epic battle. I love the music, snowspeeders, AT-ATs. Plus, Vader has some good moments in there. "He is as clumsy as he is stupid" I love this movie, and there are more things I like about it, but I have always loved the Battle of Hoth.

Dislike: Nothing. Really. I love every part of this movie Even the SE changes I like!

RotJ

Like: Battle of Endor (Space). Most epic battle in all six movies. Luke/Vader duel a close second, with the Sarlacc Pit fight third.

Dislike: Some of the Han/Leia scenes on Endor are a little painful. Don't like Sarlacc's beak and the new dance number in the SE.

[chip75]

A New Hope
Like: The Millennium Falcon
Dislike: 3/4 of an hour before Han Solo turns up...

The Empire Strike Back
Like: Star Wars in the snow.
Dislike: It's one of a kind.

Return of the Jedi
Like: The final duel between Luke and Darth Vader.
Dislike: It wasn't The Empire Strikes Back.

The Phantom Menace
Like: It's Star Wars and it's back!
Dislike: It's Star Wars and it's back....

Attack of the Clones
Like: Lightsabers in the rain.
Dislike: Anakin moans, complains and murders his way into Padmes heart.

Revenge of the Sith
Like: Yoda crawing through the vent to meet Bail Organa.
Dislike: 23 years to find why Anakin becomes Vader only for Anakin to hissy fit his way to the Dark Side....

[SilverFireshot]

A New Hope
Like: Damn near everything
Dislike: No bikini Leia

The Empire Strike Back
Like: Everything.
Dislike: Nothing.

Return of the Jedi
Like: The speeder bikes and the final duel.
Dislike: Ewoks and Hayden Christensen in the Special Editions

The Phantom Menace
Like: The podrace and the Obi Wan/Qui-Gon/Darth Maul fight is the best in the saga.
Dislike: I didn't hate Jar Jar, but his goofiness should have been toned down a lot.

Attack of the Clones
Like: The beginning of the Clone Wars. The shot of Yoda engaging his lightsaber.
Dislike: Yoda's fight, looked awkward. I think it was the height difference. Giving Boba Fett a back story. I wanted him to remain mysterious and maybe have a cameo.

Revenge of the Sith
Like: Darker tone and the Obi-Wan/Anakin fight.
Dislike: NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Wow! That's terribly original! Way to go, mate!

[QUOTE=Jay444;4469390][QUOTE=Blu-Runner;4469352]
Dislike - Forced romance between Anakin/Padme. A "dart" that leads Obi-Wan to Kamino? Weak.

I actually liked the scene with Obi Wan with the Cook and the delivery of the line "Depends on how....deep your pockets are..." was really well done. But you are right, Jango using a dart to kill Zam (a useless character anyway) that leads the Jedi RIGHT to the cloning facility was really weak (and stupid of the character). If you are an bounty hunter involved in a intergalatic political assassination conspiracy, you might want to just use a blaster to kill your fellow conspiractor...lol. Can't trace a blaster shot...

Well, first of all, the symbol on the side of the dart had been removed, so Obi Wan had to ask his friend for help, who was the ultimate specialist in that field. After that Obi Wan couldn't even locate the planet, as it had been erased from the Jedi archives. I don't call that too easy. How would you have had it play out?

I'll try to play fair here, and only state ONE THING EACH.

Ok, sorry I can't!!!!!

EP.1: Everything but
Dislike: The White beeches in the forest of Naboo. I mean, come on! IT such a rich world, and then Naboo has a European forest.
I know it's not a deal for most people, but for me as a hobby botanist, this just sucks.

EP.II: Everything but
Dislike: Some of C3PO's dialogue and action is a bit much and doesn't make sense.

EP.III: Everything but
Dislike: One CG shot of Ob Wan in the cockpit in the opening battle. It looks like a computer game render, or previz. I hope they have corrected this shot.

EP.IV: Luke with the twin sunset and John William's glorious score!
Dislike: The dated visuals (Cantina, Garbage disposal monster...)
I know I am cheating here!

EP.V: Luke and Yoda on Dagobah
Dislike: Chewbacca is darn annoying with his constant howling.

EP.VI: The Showdown
Dislike: Harrison Ford!!!!!

Totally forgot about that.

I guess any woman after giving birth to two healthy babies and believing her Sith husband is still a good person would be so heartbroken and sad that she'd actually die. Right.

That doesn't even make sense to me.

That had me crack up hard! Thanks, man!

Well thank you, good sir.

I mean, to use a dart that is easily traceable to the very planet you go to hide out on... I mean c'mon....lol I don't think Sideous or Tyranus told him to use the dart. I just think he was stupid and escalated things ahead of Sideous' timing is all.

Don't forget that all trace of Kamino has been erased from the Jedi archives, and the Jedi's analysis droids don't recognise the dart either (that scene was deleted but it's still mentioned by Dex in the film, if you care to listen). Even if Jango left a giant sign saying "I'M OFF TO KAMINO, MOTHER****ERS!" no Jedi would know where he was talking about! It's just dumb luck that Obi-Wan's old pal recognises the dart and tells him where the system is. (It fits in very well with Lucas' thematic penchant for characters triumphing over advanced technology though.)

Could I do better? I don't know, but I think George should've seen a script doctor and found out a better way to get Kenobi onto Kamino. And if Sidious wanted the Jedi to find the clones and use them, I wonder why it was on Kamino (not a well known system) and the fact that the Kamino was erased from the Jedi archive itself makes me even more confused. I just think the whole issue should've been re-written. A lot of things in the prequels should've been re-written.

If you're gonna create an entire army IN SECRET, best to do it away from prying eyes. And why not erase the location from the archives for good measure? Sure, the point is that the clones are for the Republic's use, but they'll be made available as & when Sidious chooses to start the war. Obi-Wan following Jango's trail unveils the whole show, so the Clone Wars start in earnest.

Why is this stuff so difficult for people to understand? I'm not having a go at anyone specific, but I must have some sort of faulty brainwave that enables me to keep up with Lucas-Logic™. Boo-yah!

[shelldweller]

Do you think a 3D-Trailer of "the Phantom Menace" will be featured on the blu-rays? Or maybe a 3D-Trailer of the entire Saga?

Even though I don´t own a 3D-TV I think it would be a great way to glimpse what we will see in cinemas in the coming years... well, for those who own a 3D-TV.

Even with a single clip, wouldn't it mean they'd need separate discs? Or would they make due on their promise that Blu-ray could handle 2D and 3D on the same disc?

You made my day.

As for me:

The Phantom Menace
Like: The scene with Sidious and Maul on the balcony.
Dislike: The scene where Maul forgets how to block.

Attack of the Clones
Like: The scene with Sidious and Tyranus on Coruscant.
Dislike: "Dellow Fellagates"

Revenge of the Sith
Like: The scene where Sidious orders himself up some dead Jedi.
Dislike: The scene where Sidious realizes that Anakin is really, really stupid.

A New Hope
Like: The scene where Luke stares at the Suns.
Dislike: The scene where Vader stands in front of his daughter while orbiting the planet where he was miraculously conceived and where his old Master and Son currently reside. Without picking up on it through the Force.

The Empire Strikes Back
Like: The scene where Vader is reintroduced.
Dislike: The scene where Luke and Leia kiss.

Return of the Jedi
Like: The scene where Anakin wants to see his son for the first time.
Dislike: "So what I told you was true... from a certain point of view."

[shelldweller]

I think it´s possible to have 2D and 3D content on the same Disc... I´m not sure though. I´m not that big of a 3D fan by now... nevertheless I´d really like to see what "Phantom Menace" will look like.

Don't forget that you also dislike the "sleep-inducing pacing" of Episode V

The pacing of Episode V is fine. I don't fall asleep watching that one. It does drag a bit in the middle though.

Oh, I could have swore I remembered you saying you fell asleep during V. My bad.

Nope. It's A New Hope that puts me to sleep most of the time. It's the hardest one to sit through for me.

It is possible to have both on the same disc. Some 3D movie discs have the option of watching the movie in 2D using the same disc. In other cases, they just package a separate 2D Blu-Ray disc in with the 3D one (or sometimes they package both together, like in the case of Despicable Me... a regular 2D disc, and a 3D disc with 2D capability).

That being said, I think the 3D discs are still specially formatted, and I doubt that they would go through the trouble of doing that with the discs on this set just to simply include a 3D trailer for the upcoming theatrical re-releases. It would probably be a bit more pricey to do so, not to mention that even though many 3D disc can work in regular Blu-Ray players, many older regular Blu-Ray players still require a firmware update in order to read them properly at all, as I understand the case to be. With that being the case, it would seem silly to me to give the discs this special formatting just for a trailer.

I can see them putting a trailer on this set to promote the upcoming Episode I (and eventual rest of the series) 3D theatrical releases, but I doubt that the trailer, itself, would be in 3D on these discs.
