This thread is great. It reminds me of the movie Awakenings. Like Kate has been in a coma for 30 years and is just getting caught up to date.;)


Actually it was really fun to see your reactions to each part of the story. Kind of like the Cliff Notes of BIM's life.

:lmao:

I was always drawn to the dark side...Vader, Boba Fett, Stormtroopers, Imperial Guards, Bush-Chaney, etc.

BIM

This explains a lot, BIM!

Episode II is a hunk of ****.

Hayden Christiansen turned the baddest dude in the universe...Darth Vader...into a boy band little *****.

The only good thing about the prequels is Obi Wan.

Actually, I think that is more Lucas's fault than Hayden. I think the talent was there to make him the right Vader-in-waiting.

The only good thing about the prequels is Obi Wan.

What, Padme in a leather dress isn't good??!!??

From everything I've heard this movie should make up for I & II. Even the purists are comparing it favorably (and some even MORE favorably) to ESB.

I watched ESB yesterday with my daughter (her seeing it for the first time). It wasn't only a nostalgia trip for me, but also an introspective one.

This thread is hysterical! Kate, I LOVED reading your reviews! You crack me up, girl! Glad to see you finally got around to seeing these classics.

The dude who plays Annikan in Episode II is HORRIBLE.

I remember seeing ALL of these movies in the theater. I remember being young and having to wait, oh, how many years, BIM, for Episode I to come out. We felt like we would die before then, LOL!

This thread brings back memories.

Oh, and Kate, you would LOVE this thing my sister has. It's an R2D2 toy that is one foot high and you push buttons and he makes all his R2D2 sounds. The best one is when he gets fired and makes that long sound like he's blowing up. It's awesome!

everyone was saying the same exact thing about those movies before they came out also. Call me a skeptic, but I will assume it will suck and hope to be surprised due to EXTREMELY low expectations.

Sadly enough, I anticipate many more scenes like Darth Vader saying I don't like sand because it is rough but I like you because you are not like sand.

Or the gratuitous bare midriff of Queen what's her face in one of the battle scenes. How was it again how her uniform stays clean bit is ripped just enough to show the belly button?

Rumor being spread online - - Some people have seen very rough drafts of the movie and said that Yoda cuts cheese in it.

I actually read some star wars board and many people say that that is FALSE and it's maybe an outtake or something to that effect. BUt what do I know, I just watched SW for the first time this past month lol :)

I will literally walk up to the big screen at the Mann's Chinese Theater in LA and urinate on it if this happens.

I heard this discussed on the radio the other day.

It better be false.

It doesn't even belong on a dvd as a blooper.

What has Lucas done to the once great SW universe? :bang:
