imagine how strong windu would of been if he wouldnt of been killed...in episode 4 5 6...he would of been like a yoda or something

Windu died in a really lame way.

I also thought that Anakin's falling to the dark side should have been more of a gradual process. but the movie had to be only so long. It seemed like it happened overnight, and it wouldn't. They could have still done this by taking a lot of the filler BS out of the first two though.

right on, his turn to the darkside should've really been in Ep 2 as well as more of the Clone Wars, not just the beggining.

Anyone here see it for a second time yet?

Episodes 4,5, and 6 seem to suggest that there is good and there is evil. But in 1,2, and especially 3 the line between the two is blurred. I wish we could have seen more of the gray area in the movies.

The Hitler metaphor... clever, Lucas.

El Snipo. I hear what you are saying about the movies sort of being tailored to actually knowing what is going to happen and for people to have already watched 4-6. I was thinking that myself a bit. But.. I also think it would work in order as well. We have already watched 1 & 2 anyway so too late but you don't get this oppurtunity to show someone the movies in chronological order very often so I didnt want to blow it.

and King of Beers.. , Yes, I do remember that show Space above and beyond.. but honestly I didn't really watch it. The last 10-15 years I have not had the time for TV all that much (except for Seinfeld). It's a shame too because there were a lot of science fiction series on with all the star trek spin offs and others., etc. that I would have loved... Hell, when I was younger all I had was Battlestar Galactica, and in the afternoon Star Blazers.

Did anyone feel like they were watching a "Saved by the Bell" episode evertime Anikan and Pademe (sp?) spoke to eachother?

It wasn't that good, it was the best of Ep 1,2 and 3, though.

WTF was with Darth yelling 'nooo' after he first gets his suit on?

Yeah his reaction about Padme's death was good up until that point...then it kind of went from intensely emotional to mildly comedic. I thought it was a little odd, but ended up comforting myself with the notion that I suppose the "Nooooo" is the standard reaction of an archetypal villain eating sour grapes.... I dont know :freak:

Do you remember a show back in 1996 on FOX called "Space: Above and Beyond" ? I LOVED that show and it got cancelled after one season.

This happens to too many good shows. One I loved that only lasted a season was Firefly. At least it is getting a movie

Space ruled.... i saw it two years after it was cancelled when i was in Russia, made my whole trip. I knew i could always count on watching it at the same time... I vastly remember Firefly, dont think i ever saw it.

Just found some dude on the Net sellin copies of the Space DVD set. Thinkin' about gettin one...

Best Sci-Fi shows : Babylon 5 and Farscape....

As far as Star Wars III, I saw it last night. As a huge fan of IV, V, VI the first three can't even be compared to them. Not even in the same ballpark....that being said III was the better of the prequels. I went in with no expectations, since I was burned on the first two. Hayden Christiansen is a block of wood as far as playing Anakin. Most people blame Lucas's writing skills and I would agree, he should have stuck to directing. The movie: good in the first third, slow in the middle and good at the end except for the stupid scream. Thank god for James Earl Jones though, if they had used someone else's voice for Vader I would have flipped out.

Firefly is being made into a movie. I think it is called something different, though. It is basically supposed to the a movie version of the first season.
