Decent is about the best I'd say about the new films. Nothing better than that. However Abrams will do better with SW as its well established he's a huge Wars fan, whereas he admitted he'd never really liked Star Trek. Kind of defeats trying to make an excellent film if you've got a director who doesn't get the source material. Much more suited for making a Star Wars fan.
why do fans love boba fett so much? he was bigged up by not actually having done anything really. he is barely shown taking han solo in. it was all vadar. they bigged him up in the prequel movies as a result and made him out to be the basis of all clones.. well his father was but he got done in the last movie and was **** in it. head lopped off. why do they love him over a han solo... i dunno.
star trek is slightly annoying but i think the script holes are most of that. the movies themselves were reasonable action based films... but its lost it core in just being so... there is no grand stage in them. I wonder how having a grand stage can be brought into star wars. I felt this was what badly let down the prequels too. it was just not believable.
A man after my own heart. Exactly this. The guy was a tool. He was killed by a blind man ffs. Never understood why people love him. Darth Vader made a point of saying "No disintegrations" to him, which made people think he was badass. No, that just makes him a ****ing idiot. If he is a bounty hunter, and is supposed to bring people back alive to collect a bounty, then disintegrating them would be pretty ****ing stupid. I can see him turning up to Jabba's palace with a handful of dust, and Jabba telling him to **** off.
its funny how he was then made into the perfect antihero by making him a victim of the sith in the cloning pits but nobody really got to the bottom of who paid him t be there or why. it was all just pandering to the fanbase i suppose. but then they failed to pick up on the massive hatred of the stupidity of jar jar binks and brought him back to be the guy that signed power over to palpatine. that really was a oh now you spit in my eye as well as make a **** movie moment.
Yeah there is so much **** in the prequels that makes no sense. Why were the Trade Federation working for Palpatine? What had he offered them to make them invade Naboo? Money? Surely he couldn't offer them political favours as that would clue them in to his identity. And when they were arrested at the end of Ep1, they didn't say "Oh this guy made us do it, here are all the security tapes of our discussions with him" The Trade federation viceroys were portrayed as cowards, I find it impossible to believe that they didn't all start pointing fingers at Palpatine/Sidious when they got arrested at the end of Episode 1. Also, Why the **** does a Trade Federation have a huge ****ing army of battle droids?!? They are a logistics company, who deal in Intergalactic Trade. Did no one ever stop to say to them, "Hey guys, why in the **** does a logistics corporation have a huge army of 10,000 battle droids?" It would be like UPS having a military branch of SAS hit squads and battle tanks, I think a few eye brows would be raised. The whole "forcing the Queen to sign the treaty" thing was bullshit too. You can't invade a country, force their leader to sign their country over to the occupying force at gunpoint and then say "look, they gave it to us willingly, she just decided she didn't want to run this planet anymore" If you are going to force her to sign the treaty at gunpoint, then they might as well have just forged her signature, would be just as valid. And what if she HAD signed the treaty and made the occupation legal (remember Palpatine was desperate for her to do this "I want that treaty signed, Viceroy!"), if she had, then she doesn't escape Naboo, doesn't call for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum, and Palpatine never gets elected Chancellor. See what I mean when I say the plot is ****ing stupid. Also who the **** was Sifo Dyas? He was obviously a real Jedi because Obi-Wan instantly knew who he was when the cloning guys mentioned him, was he part of Palpatines plan, did Palp or Dooku impersonate him when ordering production of the clones. why, of all people was Jango Fett chosen as the template, and why even after they took his DNA, did he choose to live on the cloning planet? Ugh just so many stupid plot holes.
I just hate ****tily written stories. Honestly, Phantom Menace makes no ****ing sense from start to finish. Its dumb as ****.
1. palpatine and trade federation? who knows never explained. palpatine the inside man as it were. i would have thought what did they offer him to sell the place out but why were they so interested at all.. made zero sense. 2. yes once the trade federation guys were arrested palpatine should have been ended there and then. the only excuse could be all done via intermediaries. but that too has holes 3. battle droids. yes sold to them by whome, why did they have them and why is a pethetic number like 10,000 used. 4. yes the whole who set the whole cloning thing up is a huge hole that was never explained... just a mysterious someone. but then the question comes if as he was a jedi what connection was there to palpatine. 5. another hole is how did palpatine become senator for naboo AND a sith lord.. how does that work.. senate positions = long years of work at low levels.. surely a sith out 6. Yes why jango fett as a model for anything.. why a maori actor cos you are filming in new zealand for tax?? 7 finally yes.. the entire plot hangs on the actions of a small boy, two jedi not knowing what is happening for palpatine to succeed. had the thing gone actually to plan valorum would never have seen said queen... its patently silly.... To me this movie was designed to a) set up a sith threat b) be a vehicle as to how a boy was discovered with huge jedi potential after that... it could have been literally ANYTHING. what was served up was pod racers (again for video gamers) silly comic droids, the R2D2 link back (again it is sort of a running theme of if it happened in viedo games) everyone likes the little droid he's a here the goldie one.. nobody likes so the kid can build him form stratch out of part form where. the kids an indentured slave who struggles to get food while building and racing pod racers and building droids.. ehhhhhh sure.
yeah well i can't be reading all of your spleen back but the new star wars looks taaaasty and that's all what matters right ... the next thing and the next thing and the next thing
Indeed. And why the **** would an indentured servant need a ****ing protocol droid? Owen even says in Episode 4 that people on Tatooine would have no need to a protocol droid. They serve as translators and butlers, to greet guests etc When Anakin said "it's a protocol droid to help mum" Padme should have said "Oh, your mum have many ****ing ambassadors and diplomats over to dinner does she? You silly little ****!" And Future Darth Vader's DO NOT SHOUT OUT "YIPEEEEEEEEEE!"
If i were a kid living on the edge i'd be building stuff i could sell to buy out of the contract... like evaporators or droids that farm but no... i'll build a gay robot with attitude.. bound to be a market for this right here on tatooine
Hi all, Loved the originals, the things that gets me really wound up is "Midichlorians" Don't forget a poor slave also managed to build a pod racer
Don't even get me started on that. Those films were an abortion, absolute **** up of epic proportions. Makes me want to punch George Lucas in the face for producing such ****
the good thing is disney can make all of them all over again. I think lucas was on an ego trip chuckling to himself as all the witty jokes he'd worked in.
Thats not something I associate with Lucas, perhaps he thought they were witty. Frankly they came off more slapstick, the whole Jar Jar Binks thing shows that
Now that is something I want to see UPS with an army, they'd be called the Brown Shirts............Oh **** bad idea!
