Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

And what is it with the planetary governments back then? First you have a Queen that gets elected on Naboo and now you have an Alderaan Senator that must become royal later on, so that his daughter can be a Princess.

I believe I read somewhere that Organa is a prince consort. He is married to the queen, but cause of royal lines and what not he can't be king. Kinda like the Queen Elizabeth thing, Philip will never be king.

What you have to remember is that each planetary system chooses it's own governance structure. On Naboo the royalty is elected and the Senator is an appointee. On Alderan it may be the opposite, or it may not. It could be that Bail Organa was royalty at the same time he was elected to the Senate. We just don't know.

In the book they call him the prince consort. So thats where I got that from.

My only disappointment(s) of this movie:

 

a: the emperor is such a sissy....i mean, c'mon...one jedi can kick the crap out of him?? what kind of sith lord is that? he needed anakin to save him......

 

b: Jar-Jar was NOT killed...I may be a little morbid, but I was so hoping for Anakin to run across him after he turned to the dark side....."Mesa glad to see you An....eeepp!"

 

The greatest movie moment:

 

When Yoda walks in to confront Darth Sidious and slams the two Imperial guards into the wall with a flick of his hand...that was great

Now time for Kroells's answers!! ::People scream, and women swoon::

 

A: I'm pretty sure Sidious could have brought it to Mace. I would have been at least a fair fight, but I'm positive he did it to force Anakin to make a choice, Light, or Dark. Looks like his little gamble paid off.

 

B: Your now on my enemy list for not liking Jar-Jar

Well we all knew he would not be killed. That was kinda obvious.

 

But my theory is that he goes to Alderaan with Bail and when the death star comes 19 years later he dies when the planet goes boom boom ;)

::swoons at Travis, and not because of his good looks::

 

Jar-Jar being ka-blooied by the Death Star...the idea has merit...

It's Yoda's fault anyway, if he had just let Dooku kill Anikan and ObiWan in episode 2, and went after Dooku...having sacrificed 2, he could have saved millions. Almost makes him look like a hypocrite in The Empire Strikes Back, when he tells Luke he may have to sacrifice his friends. Words of experience? Is the guilt laying heavily here?

 

Well, I have always liked Star Wars, and there may be an explanation (my own opinion mind you) for some of the pigeon holes in Eps 1-3 with regard to Eps 4-6....One to Three didn't exist until after Eps 4-6.

 

::ducks behind personal forcefield::

 

Now, Now - everyone calm down. LOL. Let me explain. I think that Episodes 1-3 existed as a backstory to the later episodes. I don't think they were fleshed out, but were primary background for the classic trilogy.

 

I know that George Lucas has said that all 6 of the episodes were all established as a full story, but that the studio wanted the the later three in place of the first three. Technically , he was right - it just that the later eps were the ones REALLY drawn out, and the first three weren't completely done yet. Now, of course, I am not bashing George Lucas. ;)

 

Just for the record I am a fan of the Classic Star Wars. Episodes 1 and 2 really did nothing for me, and Episode 3 I enjoyed, consider a really good roller coaster ride.

It just isn't the same Star Wars without Hans Solo.

Well Han would be a kid around that time so it's obvious why they can't have them in there. Adding him in would jst feel like a desperate move ;)

Han Solo spelled backwards is nahalos, which coincidentally (I think) is a Ukranian news show. ;)

Finally saw it. Huff's thoughts:

 

Good movie overall, much better than 1 and 2.

 

The acting SUCKED. Good God. You have to *work* to get actors to act that badly.

 

I did not find Anikin's fast seduction out of line - we've been warned over and over and over how powerful the Dark Side is. All the Emperor needed was a way in and once he had it, the seduction was swift and complete. I think the younglings fit in fine with this as well.

 

Yoda... I love CGI! Yoda was great - the right combination of wise, fallable, old but not dead yet, etc.

 

Special effects had a nice balance - well done, but not overdone. I especially liked the cities.

 

John Williams is John Williams. Though I found the scoring to be less in-your-face than usual, and more as an unobtrusive enhancement, which is what movie music should be.

 

And as I said on an earlier post, I am so friggin sick of token women in epic adventures. Give them real roles or don't waste my time.

 

I liked the yellow eyeballs.
