*cheers* Another one joins our noble cause! UP WITH STAR WARS!!!

Grievous was simply awesome..... I can find no other words to descrive him/it. Especially the dual-lightsaber whirl while he's approaching Kenobi in the Utapau hangar.

I Wanna See More Wookiees!

Clone stormtroopers looked very good, they actually changed during the movie. At first, they looked like Clonetroopers with a bit of Stormtrooper in their helmets, at the end they looked like Stormtroopers with a tiny bit of Clonetrooper in their helmets. Also, the ARC-170 pilots' helmets look almost exactly the same as the Rebel fighter pilot helmets.

Once again, droids were used for comic relief - not C-3PO though, Battle Droids and Super Battle Droids. Nice change of pace.

First line of the Super Battle Droid Handbook:
When facing an astromech droid, especially of the R2 series, do NOT attempt to engage - run like hell and get heavy backup.

I didn't really see any Droid Tri-Fighters or Utapauan fighters, and I only saw the V-wings at the end, escorting Palpatine's shuttle to the landing pad. Pity.

First line of the Buzz Droid Handbook:
When landing on a starfighter, check for R2 units first, if you spot one in your vicinity, make sure there is at least two feet distance between you and it.

Second line of the Buzz Droid Handbook:
When taking care of a starfighter, WATCH OUT for wingmen!

Shooting droids off an allies spaceship, NOT a good idea.

Re: OT - Star Wars Ep III
 

Not shooting, simply knockin' 'em off the ruddy wing, like Anakin did in the opening scene when the Buzz Droids landed on Obi-Wan's Jedi Interceptor.

My personal SW series ratings, on a scale from 1 to 10:

Ep 1: 3
Ep 2: 6
Ep 3: 8
Ep 4: 10
Ep 5: 8
Ep 6: 8

Order of favoritism: 4, 6, 3, 5, 2, 1.

Ep 3 has some of the best visual effects in the series, though many of them are (as in Eps 1 and 2) too hyper-active and cluttered. Plenty of action. I greatly appreciated the lack of any Gungans (I didn't see any Jar Jar) and painfully cutsie crap. There were places where the script was pitiful, and though it didn't utterly suck, I think the Anakin's transition to Vader was done very weakly.

The whole Padme/Anakin story was much weaker than I expected. I thought there was an obvious opportunity to handle that in a much more dramatic, interesting, and rational way, but oh well. At least it was short enough, since the chance of Lucas, Christensen and what's'er-name pulling a better story off well seems minimal.

Good point about Padme's death seeming to contradict Leia's statement in Ep 6 - guess Leia was wrong (more likely, Lucas just being inconsistent for no good reason).

He was just feeling jealous of Star Trek. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif

"Don't worry master, I will shoot them off of your fighter!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO ANIK----------" Static
"OH [censored]! OH [censored]!"

Re: OT - Star Wars Ep III
 

Just incase no one has heard, they are developing a TV series for Star Wars. There is even talk about doing a new Trillogy predating Episode one. The new Trilogy would not be called Star Wars, but rather The Force Wars or something simular.

Looks like Lucas is going to keep cashing in and that is a-ok with me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT - Star Wars Ep III
 

I just saw Star Wars last night and I must say YODA IS THE MAN!!!! he just kicks so much ***!

Although okay I loved the movie except for the vader "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" scene lol that made me laugh much to the irritation of one of the folks next to me but screw them I stopped laughing when he stopped saying "NOOOOOOOO"

Re: OT - Star Wars Ep III
 

I wish Lucas would create Episodes VII, VIII, and IX. ISTR that he said he's not going to make them, but I hope that he changes his mind.
