What really irked me about the droids was the fact that they kept saying "excuse me" every time they bumped in to someone.  And not the sissy protocol droids either, I'm talking about the "battle-hardened" battle droids.

I'd put this Ep3 over all other Star Wars movies. I don't really like any of the other SW movies. Most of them are crappy.

I think they should remake all of them and turn them into action films such as this one.

Anyone else notice the lack of any fancy lightsaber weilders?
Nearly all were single bladed weilders...

Personal Highlights:
- Vadar walking into the youngster Jedi training room. :lol:

Most Cliche moment in movie: (from completely serious to absolutly hilarious I might add)
- "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" ROFL.

Still, fairly entertaining movie. Might enjoy seeing this one again. ;)

All of them were single bladed wielders, because it's Star Wars the classic. Period.

Star Wars 4-6 was a story with Lightsabres and spacebattles in it, Episodes 1-3, I can't help thinking, have been a lightsabre/space battle, with a story thrown in.

I was really disappointed by the space battle in this one. I was hoping for something much more extensive and Endorish. Instead it consisted of just a few minutes of chaotic backgrounds in which you didn't know what ships were on which side and Anakin bumping his fighter into Obi-Wan's in an attempt to kill the little bug droid things.

The prequel episodes were rather about Jedi and wardroids than fighters and capital ships.

it was something that i missed, starwars pioneered the concept of space fighters, it was sad to see them not used as much. they seemed to just show sceens of fighting but didnt show the use of any strategy. it wasnt like the battle of hoth which i must say is still the best ground battle of star wars. i did like the part where they triied landing that criuser, that was kinda funny.

I hated the lightsaber battles in this. Literally, all it was was close up shots of their faces and the backs of their heads, as they made funny expressions and moved their lightsaber literally only up and down. Excepting Obi Wan and Anakin's fight, it was mostly just up-down-up-down-up-down.

I feel they should have looked back to the original origins of the storyline of the original film for battle planning. Kurosawa had some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen...

On the droid point, the reason the droids are "oppressed" is because they are the creations of the Human(oids).  They exist to serve.  We we would be the same way had be been given sentience by more advanced aliens.

That still doesn't answer the question of who he is.

He is the Lord of Hunger, the absence of life, a wound in the Force. Born of the horrors of Malachor V.

With that spacebattle at the beginning...its begging of a new TIE Fighter series.  Even the Star Destroyers had beam weapons!  W00t!

I found Darth Nihilus pretty crappy.

You see him like twice throughout the game, the second time where you actually fight him.

By then your already over level 20 and you smite his ass into the ground. The only build up to him was Kreia's dialog and Visas Mar.

He's pretty pathetic really.

Now had he actually consumed Telos in front of you... that would of been nasty.

At level 20 in KOTOR2 you can smite anything into the ground. It's the idea behind the character that counts, especially since as the Exile you have a definate unfair advantage over Nihilus. ...your being the one thing in the galaxy severed from the Force, so he can't feed on you.

This is exactly why this movie sucked.

Hell, it failed at being a full action movie. Anyone notice how the Battle of Coruscant just sort of dissappeared after Anakin lands the glowing red - turned steamy ship on the ever so convenient, yet questionable landing strip. (for all the space cruisers that taxi on wheels...) Opens the door, Obi Wan tells him he's a hero, he chills with the politicians...  no more Battle of Coruscant!

Seems it dissappeared along with any hope for a solid movie.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

indeed. that fight would have been alot better if there was just more fighter combat. perhaps fading away to the brige of one of the command ships they say something tactical, then communicate with obi wan and anikin. id have like to seen them bomb a couple of those ships before crash diving into the fighter bay. im suprised obi wan didnt use the force to do away with his bug problem. jedi can pick up rocks and such why not stupid robo bugs. then when they finally did away with the bugs it drifts off of the wing as if theres drag in space. one could argue he accelerated but it did not apear to do so. but it wouldnt be the first violation of the laws of physics in a movie.

as for the thing with darth nihilus, i dont like the name they chose for the character, nihilisim isint about negitive value, its about the absence of value. which doesnt really fit in with the dark side. put it this way, you can use a single variable to determine good and bad with 0 being the line between them, nihilisim rejects that variable's existance. associating nihilisim with the dark siide violates the purpose of nihilisim.
