Hummmmm, tonight is Friday night. Phil had a date for Thursday night to go see Return of the Sith. Still no post of what he thought of it. Is this good or bad? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I hope he doesn't mind me posting this, but he said this elsewhere:
Went tonight to see it on a date. It wasn't bad at all - I think it was DEFINITELY better than Clones, at least. The franchise certainly went out with a bang.
I enjoyed it, but like with Clones (which I liked initally), I think I'd better wait until seeing it captioned before having a final opinion on it.

LoL, that interested about what I thought huh? Sorry, I posted at the Realm but forgot to post here.
Ok, detailed thoughts:
I think that they did a good job of explaining Anakin's downfall in a very sensible and dramatic way. Palaptine seemed alike Satan in a lot of ways, promising more power. The fall of the Jedi was also very well done, what with the betrayal of the Clones. Obi-Wan was still a pleasant character and the guy playing Anakin surprised me by being pretty good in this movie. Padme/Amidala and Anakin's confrontation was very dramatic and I liked it quite a lot. And the lava battle was one to remember. I'm amazed Anakin was able to pull himself out of the lava, and what happened to the fires that engulfed him for a minute there? Still, Darth Vader's birth - at least it wasn't lame. And the transition from this trilogy to the next was great.
Things I was disappointed in: Yoda and the Emperor battling, it just seemed stupid. Yoda was cooler in the original trilogy. The Wookies' world didn't really make much of an impression on me. Grievous while he was cool with the four armed lightsaber battle, I thought he was even cooler in the comic. The spaceship battle seemed too unrealistically speedy, and some of these "enhanced" movements were just a bit ridiculous.
Overall, I do think the "new trilogy" shed a lot of light on the development of Luke's father from the good man he used to be into the Sith Lord everybody fears; it's an understandable dilemma he found himself in. Oh, the irony of his visions. I'm surprised he didn't turn on the Emperor right then and there when he found out she died.
Oh, and I went with a girl named Sarah who worked at the theater. While it was a nice date, we're just friends.

mmm... Yoda v Emperor, was, in essence too close and encounter. Yoda should have struggled more...
Trivia:
Anyone spotted a young Millenium Falcon in EP 3 yet?

So, Phil finally shows up and posts what I've been waiting all this time for. He sure does know how to keep a person in suspense. ;D If it hadn't been for Hector, I don't know what I would have done. ;D Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I think I missed it. Here is one for you guys that has me puzzled. In the Return of the Jedi Luke and Leah are standing outside the festivities talking and he asks her if she knew her mother, her REAL mother. She says a little, that she died when she was very young, and he asks what she remembers about her. Leah says she was very beautiful, kind, but sad. Their mother died giving birth to them. How could Leah have remembered her real mother? Was this just a goof up and not thought about having been said or is there some explanation? Did anybody pick up on something that I missed in EP3?

Good question, Shan, and one I asked myself. It is a little odd.
It could be that Leia had a stronger connection to Padme through the Force. So she might have had stronger memory of her. Or she might have seen a vision of the past and only thought it was memory. Either way, the Force is probably the best explanation I can think of.
I don't think Luke ever really wanted to remember. It was simpler for him not to...

She says a little, that she died when she was very young, and he asks what she remembers about her. Leah says she was very beautiful, kind, but sad. Well, the real answer to the question is that Lucas was pretty much making up the movies as they went. But where is the fun of that? Spotting contradictions are easy, and Episode IV doesn't really fit with the rest, coz it was until V that Lucas decided to became Campbell's prophet, trying to answer those contradictions is what make a true SW Fan ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) So, theory number one is what is what Steve said. Luke had a strong connection in the Force with his father, and Leia had it with her mother. Another theory, is that Leia was still talking about who she tought was her mother, despite Luke's question about her 'real' mother she wouldn't have any reason to believe she was adopted. Since Bail Organa loved the Republic, it is plausible that the the Queen of Alderan did too, and she would be very sad watching the Republic becoming the Empire. I guess we will know more about this when Lucas releases the Original Trilogy again, if he makes some changes to the dialogue.

D'oh! I forgot about that! Heh... well, there was bound to be a plot hole somewhere if you're working backwards.
Perhaps Leia was talking about a portrait she saw, though. Amidala was pretty famous.

OR... her parents told her about her real mother?
come on, "Kind, beautiful", not exactly huge descriptions are they?

OR... her parents told her about her real mother? Princess Leia: Luke, what's wrong? Luke: Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother? Princess Leia: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young. Luke: What do you remember? Princess Leia: Just... images really. Feelings. Luke: Tell me. Princess Leia: She was... very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why are you asking me this? Luke: I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her. Being told about her mother doesn't fit this conversation. So far the 'through the Force' theory, though far-fetched, seems like the best way to go.

I'm seriously thinking we'll see a rewrite in that scene (from Lucas?? impossible! ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ) because it's either too hard to explain, or it's rendered meaningless.
