Film & TV Star Wars: Return Of The Sith, my opinion
- Thread starter Rukas
- Start date
i just read something about this movie which must be the most "correct" opinion about this movie i have ever read:
For those don't like 1 and 2 at all, watch this movie and it will make you want to watch and appreciate ALL the films (not just 4-5-6). Again, the Star Wars story is about the life and death of Anakin Skywalker, not Luke, Leia, and Han in a weird love triangle with wacky hi-jinks. I think the video "Life Redeemed" on the Episode 3 music DVD hits this point hard. Yes, establishing politics and watching someone manipulate the system is boring, but they had to be shown eventually to explain why things are the way they are in Episode 4.

griveous was a general of the confederacy who was injured. there's a cartoon series that aired on cartoon network that tells more about griveous. someone injured him, so the confederacy took his vital organs and put them in a mechanical body. he is part creature, part machine.
well when you're a jedi fighting bad robots with an army you believe to be your ally (the clones) and they suddenly turn on you.. i don't think most jedis expected their own army to kill them heh.
he lied. sith lords can not create life as in making someone pregnant. they can create life as in keeping themselves alive, keeping someone from dying. in the "ancient times" of star wars, as told in books and comics, siths would do this to keep themselves, and eachother alive.

Remember when the light saber duels were cool. I mean the tension was not only in the fighting, but often critical tidbits of information were given to us during the fight scenes. I mean the realationship between Obi-Wan and Vader, Luke learning Vader was his father, Vader finding out Luke had a sister...all of that was given to us in the fight scenes. The dialogue was key. Now it is just about one guy taking on someone with four light sabers. It becomes a little weak at times.
And what is up with the Jedi. We see them constantly feeling a tremor in the force when eveil is abound, yet none of the Jedi sense the evil around them just before they are killed. How did they ever maintain peace in the galaxy when they didn't know someone two feet from the wass trying to kill them. I mean Anakin and Obi-Wan sensed when Padme was being attacked.
To me Lucas demonstrates selective powers for the Jedi.
OK so Ani does it because Padme is going to die. The Emperor says that if he joins the Dark Side they can save her together. Then he goes to the Dark Side and the Emperor simply tells him that his hate had killed her. Sorry, Darth, you killed all yours friends and it didn't do any good. But still swear your allegiance to me. What? Are you kidding me? If Darth had all this rage, he should have whipped out a light saber right there and went at it with the Emperor. Only five minutes earlier he told Padme he could kill him and they would rule the Universe together. LOL which is it?
Do not get me wrong its a gr8 story and graphics were outstanding but Lucas did things that seemed weird and made no sense. I mean he had 20 yrs to lay out the story and make it fit.

the reason why the jedis can't sense what's wrong is that the dark side puts a "cloud" over their "vision". and the reason why anakin/vader doesn't kill the emperor is he has respect for his master. that's why in the old movies anakin doesn't try to overthrow the emperor or kill him in his sleep lol. he's loyal. face it, even though anakin had the potential to become the most powerful jedi ever, he was so mentally ill. he was so easy-manipulative. there was indeed something good in him because he wasn't decietful like the emperor and the earlier sith lords ("kill your father and take his place by my side, luke")
a cool thing that i learnt is that before anakin had his shit cut off at the end of the new movie he was like 80% of what the emperor had wanted, and after he lost his legs and was burnt alive, he dropped to about 50-60%. that's why he wants luke to kill his father in return of the jedi.

Here's a little known fact about the OG Star Wars trilogy: When George Lucas made the first Star Wars, he chose to put all credits at the end of the film. This enraged the director's guild, but they let it slide. However, when he made The Empire Strikes Back, he chose to do the same thing and run all credits at the end of the film. The director's guild didn't let it slide this time and they fined him $2.5 million. This made Lucas so mad he quit the director's guild and decided to make the third film without the director's guild. Unfortunately, because he was no longer in the guild, he couldn't use any directors who were members of the guild, which meant he couldn't use his first choice of director for Return Of The Jedi: Steven Speilberg. That would have been crazy if Speilberg directed Jedi, it probably would have been my favorite one instead of Empire.
Well, if you notice how Obi wan, Yoda and the rest of the Jedi masters feels something strange about Palpatine and the whole situation. Then try to understand that maybe, just maybe that feeling overtook the "minor" evil thing, ie the clones set ups. I think that that fear blinded them to see what's coming to them.
You know the fighting scene with Obi and Anakin? Then Anakin yells something like: "I have more power then you can imagine" or something like that, and Obi tells him "don't do it anakin". Then he chops him and leaves him to die. That scene for me demonstrated how Anakin overestimated his power. So when he talked to Padme about takin over the galaxy then I'm sure he was only overestimating his own power. Also, he can't kill palpatine cause if I remember correctly, in the 6th movie, Anakin dies when he throws him in the hole. He needs his power to live and so on.
