Jar Jar for some reason always reminds me of Vir Cotto(Babylon 5).

Really? Those sorts of characters always make me think of sharp, heavy implements... If I want pandering mindless passive entertainment, I want it to be GOOD pandering mindless passive entertainment, with appropriately pandering, mindless characters who don't betray how pandering and mindless they really are until I think about it!

Well my opinion on the scheme of things Star Wars:
1. A New Hope
2. Attack of the Clones
3. Empire Strikes Back/The Phantom Menace
4. Return of the Jedi

Clones was great, Dooku I liked because Christopher Lee is a bad ass (just like the guy who plays Tarkin).

The romance dialogue wasn't too chesy when compared to the other films, Jar Jar had a minor part of the plot, and there's a good balance between action and "little kid stuff" as well as good pacing for the way the scenes are intended.

Now I've never understood the whole Bobba Fett thing, but I thought that the whole Jango Fett deal was worked out pretty well. When against Samuel L. Jackson you loose, no matter how cool some acne ridden fans who dream of Natalie Portman's belly-button like the guy... ;)

BTW, Liberator you're right on the great hero of Star Wars ;) He's the wisest of them all...

yes. AOTC is a great movie. Absolutely amazing. I walked out of the cinema, and I looked like a ghost. There isn't a scene which isn't good. Fantastic. The last one just captured me. It resume the SW spirit. And with 400 people in the cinema who started singing the Imperial March. WOW! :jaw: I can get out of my mind that scene...



1. ESB
2. ANH
3. AOTC
4. ROTJ
5. Ep I

I just saw this movie the other day, and it rocked!  One of the greatest SW movies yet, possibly better than ESB!  It just...had the right stuff.  The ships, the planet scenes, the action all seemed to go back to the roots of the original trilogy versus the "Let's go podracing!  Whee!" attitude of TPM.  As for the downside...
Another cheap death for a Fett.  The Fetts are my favorite characters of the Star Wars saga, and are arguably the coolest bunch around.  Why Lucas?!  Boba's fate in the Sarlacc was degrading enough, but having Jango's head loped off by Windu?!  I don't know...it just didn't seem...fitting for such a badass character.  Guess I'm just a ranting Fett fanboy angered by Jango's demise.  ^_^;;

SPOILER ALERT!
So, what do you all think will come of that "unaltered" clone Jango had made of himself - the one that wasn't put through accelerated growth? Bobba, anyone? ;7

"...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

Is there a problem with Windu??? He's was one of the coolest characters in the show.

I've seen the Film and i love it - I gotta see it again :nod:

Everyones wicked - Obi-wan, Jango, Mace all bloody fantastic. The battles are amazing.
Its full of action  :) incredible film  i feel.

The only part where most of the cinema laughed is the bit where Anakins having a nightmare - it looks abit like he's might be doing something else ;7

Why would you dream about Natalie Portman's belly button?

All part of the storyline - other major hints at this included the stormtrooper resemblance in the clone army and the suprising likeness to Star Destroyers of the Republic ships.
