OT - Star Wars Ep III

Randallw · #1 May 23rd, 2005, 09:02 AM

I had trouble with the Emperor's appearance. It seems to me the make up was better 20 years ago when he was younger than his appearance now. I mean I am a devoted Star Wars fan and I liked the movie but the Emperor didn't look right and I thought Anakin was too quick to give in.

Edit: oh and Narf I must ask, as we do on Games Workshop forums when someone makes your mistake, who's the Emporer, some bloke who sells things

The emperor is seen in all 6 movies, Emperor Palpatine was also known as Senator Palpatine, as well as the leader of the Old Republic, which I don't remember what was called

Obi-wan was seen in all of the movies, as a ghost in the last two however. Anakin/Darth Vader was seen in all the movies. Those two droids were seen in all of the movies. Yoda WAS seen in all 6 movies, he was shown in the last one as a ghost

And that's about all for people who's been there for the whole movie.

The Emperor is mentioned in passing but never actually makes an appearance in IV, and his appearance(s) in V are all holographic. Yoda isn't even mentioned in IV, except possibly as an off-hand reference by Obi-wan to his master without saying his name.

Obi-wan appears in all 6, though only as a ghost in the last 2. Anakin/Darth Vader is a major character in all 6. R2D2 and C3PO at least make token appearances in all 6. Other than those 4, almost no one appears in both trilogies, and all of those but Yoda and Palpatine have only a brief appearance in III for their total coverage in the prequel trilogy - Luke and Leia as babies, Tarkin as background in a star destroyer bridge scene near the end, and Chewbacca might have been among the wookies with Yoda on Kashyyyk. Oh, I almost forgot, Jabba makes an appearance officiating at the pod race in I, and Boba Fett has a very minor role as a kid in II.

Corrections:
The Emperor/Palpatine/Sidious was in I, II, III, V, and VI, but never made an appearance in IV, A New Hope, he was only mentioned by Vader and the Moffs (re: disbanding the Senate)
Yoda, also was in I, II, III, V, and VI, but did not appear in IV, and did not even get a mention until Empire Strikes Back.
But Anakin/Vader, Obi-wan/Ben, C-3P0, and R2-D2 do make appearances in all six.

I finally saw it today. Hayden Christensen's performance was as abysmal as I expected it to be, but some of the other actors appeared to struggle with the matierals given them as well. I can only attribute this to Lucas himself.

I was rather disappointed with the movie, and the more I think about it, the more disappointed I become.

I would rate the six Star Wars movies in the following order, from best to worst:
ESB, ANH, AotC, RotS, RotJ, TPM.

I'm going to watch this movie today at 5:00 PM EST. Wish me luck... Btw, if you don't like star wars, you're not going to like the movie, just a warning

I finally saw it today.

It was better than I was told. But I don't really understand most of the negative comments about the franchise anyway. I was never bothered by Ewoks or JarJar. They were just new characters to me. Anakin watches too many soap opera holovids but I can ignore that, Jedi tend to be overly dramatic. He turned quickly but he was pretty gullible to begin with. He really needed his mommy. Padme got wimpier as time went on but oh well, sappy things happen. I was irked by the changed battledroid voices. They sound silly. However, EP3 makes me love Artoo more than ever. "Super" Battle Droids flee from the mighty R2D2!!

Overall I have liked each movie for what it was, I had no prior expectations so I was never dissapointed. I knew they would each tell an important story in the SW universe and I'm glad to have seen them.
